Every democracy in history has degraded to such a society. The first symptom is government handouts, as that leads to a needy people, and a government that provides their every need.

All roads lead to Rome, as all one has to do is study its history and see that what went on there, is happening in the corporation we call the United States.
They remove you from your rural base that allowed you to grow and sell your own products (independence) and sell them in the marketplace.
They then provide you with products (i.e. bread, oils, salts, etc.), then you forget how to produce your own (dependent).
They provide you with entertainment (to distract you from the tyranny they're exacting on you).
In the meantime, they get wealthy and powerful, while you become a 'worker bee' for their constituent companies, or stay home and collect their handouts.

God wants us to know history, so that we are not victims of its repetition (yes, Satan is a like a broken record, he does the same things everytime).

Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.

All roads lead to Rome,- Yes it does History has and is repeating itself...


People have not learned what has destroyed societies before them...

I agree with the OP, totally.

But are you saying that Rome was better off as a Republic even before becoming an Empire?wtf

Or are you saying they were better off as a Monarchy even before the Republic???????

The Republic was doomed to die anyways...............with Caesar being killed or not. In fact, some would say Brutus and his cohorts killed the one person who could have saved the Republic, for better or for worse.
EvCato, as afr as it is known, would have opposed the assasination.

The Roman world had simply grown to vast by the time of caesar for it to be governed by a group of senators from Rome.

Now.......did bureaucracy and opulence and decadence take over and ruined the Empire?
Absolutely. Did it grow too big? Absolutely. (Witness the fact that it got divided into TWO empires by Diocletian).

Did Paganism die out and allow Christianity to take over and further hasten the demise of the Empire? Probably so.

But I do not feel that (if that is what you are implying) that Rome fell because it transferred from a Republic to an Empire.

Even Gibbon called the Era of The Five Good Emperors (to paraphrase------the era "where the human condition was happiest."

Other factors may have contributed, but not reallytotally this one.

Just saying............................hiding
