Classes in HS that mean something

The class was a Social Studies elective:

"The Nature of Absolutism and Totalitarianism"

Best class I took in HS.

We studied 3 different types of government in history:

Absolute Monarchy (Louis XIV)

Facism (Mussolini, Hitler)

Socialism/Communism (Marx, Engles, Lenin, Stalin)

We saw how Totalitarianism seeks complete control over the general population.

I still credit that class with my understanding of Dialectical Materialism, Marxist thought, and how Marxism seeks to bring about change slowly.

Sadly, I see it playing out in the world and our nation today.
