British and Hong Kong law are based on the English common law system, where more of the law has been based on judicial precedent than the more legislatively-centered civil law countries.
The great dictators of the 20th century -- Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Mao, Peron, Pinochet, Castro, Pol Pot, and Maduro among others -- all rose and thrived in the civil law system ultimately derived from imperial Rome.
The U.S. is a mostly common law jurisdiction, consistent with some Hong Kong protestors flying American flags. The Brexit & HK struggles are both efforts to, among other things, preserve & protect islands of the common law tradition from encroachments of the civil law system.
well I think that is a simplification. With all due respect I think US and British presidents have far more blood on their hands then what germanic and roman countries leaders have. I also heavily question Mao and Pol Pot arising due to a legal system based on roman law.
What you or I or anybody else can say about the behavior millions of other human beings is usually going to be a gross oversimplification.
Agreed, especially in a forum that limits discourse in terms of max characters. Fair point my brother!
UK common law system also derives, has its foundation from Roman law. Many of the UK common law principles (like definition of a contract, good will) come from roman law. Educate yourself.
All UK common law, customs in UK were inspired brought to UK from the greco-roman political and legal systems. All European legal and social systems have their roots in the greco-roman system including UK. UK was ruled by the Normans (from Normandy, France).
Democracy is a Greek social concept that spread all over Europe, starting with the Rome republic that degenerated in imperialism. Every British legal and social system has its roots in the Greco-Roman system.
Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Mao have their inspiration in the socialist doctrine concocted in United Kingdom and France because of the British industrial revolution in late 18th and beginning of 19th century. All have some Marx, Engels base. Educate yourself.
I see the ignorami want to educate the knowledgeable, huh. France and Germany were and are civil law countries. Marx and Engels were both German. Part of the early industrial revolution took place in the Wupper valley, where Engels was from.
Not unlike Quebec (civil law) versus Canada (common law). Many Quebec lawyers study an extra year within Canada to pass their common law exams.
Buenas noches, @eduardovirgala, ¿qué le parece esta comparativa entre civil law y common law?
La comparación inicial está bien, la conclusión habría que matizarla, ya que toma en cuenta solo a los grandes dictadores de los dos últimos siglos, pero no a los "pequeños" que surgieron en Africa y Asisa en países de tradición common law (Idi Amin o los militares birmanos)
Muchas gracias por la respuesta, @eduardovirgala. Pase un buen día.

Why Maduro? Also, he wasn't/isn't 20th century.
