A Brief History of How We Got Here

There are so many things we think we know but we don’t really know. When you hear someone use the word communism, socialism, Marxism, fascism…do you know what they mean? Or do you just have a general idea? Where did these ideas even come from? How did our governments evolve? What’s an aristocracy, a democracy, a kleptocracy? We keep talking about oligarchs…What’s an oligarchy? How is it different than a plutocracy? What is going on in the world and how did we get here? Honestly, this pod started as a an extended “I don’t think that word means what you think it means” and turned into a brief history of the world. But, I came out of the research understanding things so much better than I did before, and I hope you’ll come out of listening to this pod feeling the same way.   Please RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!   All my links here!: https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl   Thank you to today’s sponsors!   http://www.smith.ai http://www.AthleticGreens.com/politicsgirl http://www.LittlePassports.com/politicsgirl   The PoliticsGirl Podcast is a Meidas Touch original podcast produced by Happy Warrior Entertainment.   Source Notes: https://www.politicsgirl.com/episode-020-source-notes   Special Thanks to Holly Shuter for her research assistance.
