Does anyone have a suggestion for a PowerPoint alternative that has at least a subset of the following features?

- open source
I know im probably asking too much and also that I could simply code an HTML/JS app, but this would take more time than I can afford to at the moment.
As an academic, for more than 20 years I have been researching nationalism. Also, since my teenage years I’ve collecting words that can have contradictory meanings but sound alike—such as accept and except, for ex.

@quietmarc good point. I’d also add to this that, contrary to general belief, so-called bourgeois liberal democracy, on one side, and Athenian or direct democracy, on the other, aren’t the only forms of democracy possible. Go read Pierre Clastres’ work in South America, for example.
