So much of the hysteria about ‘fascism’ and ‘authoritarianism’ reflects widespread ignorance of history and its patterns. Rome is instructive. It began with Kings, moved to rule of ‘the people’ through a Senate, and then onto Emperors and Popes. 1/3 https://t.co/HIYDTYdiNH

‘Democracies’ are pauses between aristocracies, between Kings. They’re the seedbed of new status hierarchies, new Kings and their aristocratic courts. By far the worst Rome was the one run by the people/Senate, Rivers of blood. 2/3

Without stabilised and centralised status hierarchies, human societies are just violent. That violence is the battle for status, in the establishment of new hierarchies. /end
