Autocracy, what is it?

Come on, you have chosen that topic.

You must know at least

something about it.

Well, hopefully it will

not put more stress on us.

Seriously, what is the meaning

of autocratic forms of government?

Maybe something like monarchy?

Not necessarily.

Ferdi, do u have any

thoughts about this?

It's a car race in

craters. (Auto-Cracy)

Now that was really

very resourceful answer.

Dictatorship perhaps?

Among other things, yes. Karo?

I think the autocracy

is if an individual...

...or a group dominate the mass.

Exactly.

Autocracy derives from the Greek...

...and means self-rule.

Also, "Auto" from yourself and

"Kratia" from to dominate, Power.

In an autocracy an individual or a

group involved in the Government has...

...so much power that the laws

can change how they want it.

Do you have examples

of such systems?

We need to spend the

week doing something.

Oh, come on, you can think

of some form of dictatorship.

Third Reich.

Ah no, not again.

So, I did not choose

this topic for myself....

I've printed out a few

notice for you.

Not that sh*t all over again.

Oh man, but it's an important issue.

Nazi Germany was sh*t.

Slowly, even I understand that"

Exactly, damned Nazis!

- It happened here so it's not going to

happen anymore. - Oh yes, and the Neo-Nazis?

We can not permanently feel guilty

for something that we did not do.

It is not just the guilt...

...it is also a fact that we, with our

history have a certain responsibility.

So, I am a Turk!

Clear responsibility, yes, but

I mean everybody knows this.

Everyone who?

Well, perhaps only few

dumb Easterners don't...

What does this mean ? I'm

also from East Germany.

You exactly know what

I mean, here bald heads.

Rainer, can't we talk

about anything else?

- What?

- Let talk about the Bush administration.

Wait a minute, It just

started to be interesting.

So, your opinion is that the dictatorship

in Germany is no longer possible, yes?

No way, we are much

more enlightened now.

Marco, what do you mean?

I do not know.

Well, we will have ten minute break.

What's going on here?

We have rearranged the tables, now

everybody has at least some place.

Bring your tables behind.

Possibly we can manage the

Project Week in a way as we want.

I suggest that we loosen

that whole thing a bit.

Has anyone anything against it?

Very good.

What is the basic foundation

for autocratic system?

Dennis?

An ideology.

Yes, what else?

Control.

Monitoring.

You think a bit too far.

Dissatisfaction.

Interesting.

But what I mean is: What is the

thing that any dictatorship has?

We have already spoken

about it earlier.

A leader, man

A leader?
