Despotism

Despotism is a form of government in which a single entity rules with absolute power. That entity may be an individual or it may be a group. The word despotism means to "rule in the fashion of a despot" and does not necessarily require a singular "despot", an individual. Oligarchy is the most commune despot. Despot comes from the Greek despotes, which roughly means "master" or "one with power", and it has been used to translate a wide variety of titles and positions. It was used to describe the unlimited power and authority of the Pharaohs of Egypt. Despotism can have many Methodologies the most well know ones in Modern Despotism are Fascism http://anti-nazism.blogspot.com/2011/12/fascism.html and Totalitarianism. Fascism is compatible with Monetary-Capitalism, Class division and national supremacy over other nations.  Totalitarianism http://anti-nazism.blogspot.com/2011/12/totalitarianism.html is compatible with Communism, Indoctrination,  and Assimilation. The United States is still the best example, especially with the Republican Party acting as a Fascist Party and the Democrat Party acting as a Totalitarian Party.
