Direct democracy form of government, first practiced in athens a city state in greece, all citizens come together to collectively make decisions , impractical in canada today because it would take far too much time and effort. Greeks used slaves a lot weren"t citizens, because of slave labor they had lots of free time to make these collective decisions. You need a small country and people to be like minded, less diversified opinions tyranny of the majority minority rights aren"t really considered. Communism- many different manifestations, never actually been implemented really, organized around the maxim, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. System committed to equality between all of its citizens class 3 society = no classes in society, everyone is regarded as equals. Theocracy system where all rules of law come from religious law, text or interpretations of this text e. g. iran. People were sickened with what happened with it in world war 2.
