RE: "Let them eat cake" - the need for one dominant culture within a polity

in #history7 years ago

What a delightful diversion! The lush comparison of Rome and the West today is apt, and the conclusion you reach inerrant.

"A polity with disintegrating dominant socio-cultural norms, governed by populist prostitutes, will inevitably dissolve into factionalism and civil war. It is not political solution that the West needs to combat oppositional ignorance, but social restoration that establishes a dominant culture and traditions."

Thanks!

Thank you for your compliment. Sometimes, I can imagine the chaotic Roman forum and fractured Roman Senate, whenever I witness riots in modern cities and parliamentary bickering on BBC or CBC; though John Bercow has kept civility in the UK Parliament sessions.
