Rome is empire and empire is violence. Let it fall and make room for a better future.
- zepto 6y agoPast history shows that when an empire falls, there is more violence, followed by the rise of a new empire itself, as you say, based on the triumphs of its violence. Anyone who calls calls for the fall of empire, without explaining how we avoid the normal consequnces, is calling for more violence.
- kazagistar 6y agoIf reformation proves impossible then revolution is inevitable. What any individual wants is largely irrelevant.
- zepto 6y agoTrue, but not relevant to my point. Empire is violence, and so is revolution. If you don’t have an alternative, and you support either one, then you are advocating for violence. You seem to be advocating for more violence.
