Prime video : The Power and Respect Scale
Selatius posted this excellent 1946 documentary about despotism in the new video forum.

It's centered on the power and respect scale. Despotism is here when there is no respect for large parts of the community (like, labeling every critic a terrorist sympathiser), and when the power is concentrated (like, inserting a reference to the power of the Unitary Executive in signing statements)

Don't forget to check it out. I like the new feature which is the video forum, but it also relegates topics based on media type to a (at the moment) lesser frequented DU forum.
