In todays age, all forms of sovereignty not carried out in the liberal form are considered malign and illegitimate (which literally means 'not approved by law') in the eyes of the liberal establishment. Some even go so far as to claim that all forms of non-liberal government are fascistic; One example being leftists/anarchists calling the Soviet Union or China red fascist. The more popular one however, is the accusation of authoritarianism or tyranny. | In todays age, all forms of sovereignty not carried out in the liberal form are considered malign and illegitimate (which literally means 'not approved by law') in the eyes of the liberal establishment.

'''The so called tyranny and authoritarianism.''' The historical trend we can observe is that class struggle always gets twisted and misrepresented by the very elites who were challenged: | |||
* Julius Ceasar is often represented as a tyrannt who overthrew democracy, but this democracy was of course not the power of the people, but the unchallenged power of elites. | |||
* Napoleon has been smeared, but he was the one who overthrew the feudal privileges in Europe by making everyone equal before the law (code napoleon). | |||
* The word "Draconic" refers to some form of tyrannical measure. The words origin however, comes from a man named Draco in ancient greece, who produced the first written code of law in Athens. Before Draco, the laws were carried out by oral tradition, and only the aristocracy had the privilege of "remembering them" (as you can probably imagine, all sorts of trickery and corruption occured). For this crime, Draco was namned a tyrant by the historians of that time, who themselfs came from privileged families. | |||
