That comparison is absolutely essential when looking at history and reality, I agree.

If you're looking at abstract theory, maybe less relevant.

But then, is there any meaningful discussion of political theory in the abstract? Maybe it should always be grounded in real history since that's the highest quality evidence.

The trouble with theories is they only work theoretically!
