Are there more governments?

[Red*Star]

Are there any more thoeries or forms of government besides capitalism, socialism, and communism?

[Frederick_Engles]

I beleive fuedalism came before capitalism but I could be wrong

[Misodoctakleidist]

It depends what you mean by "forms of governemnt," if you take into account every detail then there's infinate possibilities. If you mean the social devision of labour then there's also feudalism, antiquity and something I don't know the name of.

[rahul]

yes,

in india mixed system;

mixed system = socialism + capitalism

===>>>>capie dominates

[Pawn Power]

Remember that capitalism and communism are not just forms of governments but are political systems and a way of life. Forms of government would be like democracies or republics that run inside the sociey. I dont know if what you are looking for is other types governments or other political and social systems because remember in absolute communism this is no governemnt.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up, doesn't it. Remember, that capitalism and communism are types of economic structures, in true communism, there is no working government, the nation is run by the working class.

[Dio]

Funny how not 1 of those governments work how they should work.

Why do you describe technocracy as a obligarchy?

because technocracy puts power in the hands of a few
a few select leaders are selected based on technical knowledge
it creates an elite few

[Subversive Pessimist]

According to technocrats, they believe in a system where nobody has to do any work. There is a guy here who is a tehcnocrat, but he's hardly authoritarian.

Yes, this was the thing that came to mind with me and not Jesus' list; although that is very useful. When you compare Socialism, Capitalism and Communism in the same terms I expect you are referring to stages of human development. In which case, to expand on Misodoctakleidist's post:

Savagery => Barbarism => Classical slave states => Feudalism => Capitalism => Socialism => Communism

Each of these can be cut down again into various epochs and are fuzzy at the edges occasionally. For instance early Capitalism and Imperialism have distinct differences. The move from mother right to father right was another non-epoch-defining yet revolutionary event as another example. Some epochs also had lower, middle and upper periods etc.
