Keep up the good work in the history threads, DNZ.
Yeah. I might do at some point. The different factions of late Republican Rome have always fascinated me.
You could post a new discussion on him in History, if you wish.
That is a shame. Though I am not a ''Caesarean'' socialist, you did make some good points about Caesar before. The modern world likes to see Julius Caesar has some proto-Emperor (though there is no real evidence that he wanted to be one; he seemed happy being ''dictator'' for life) but for the standards of the time he was ''left'', revolutionary even, unlike the conservative Republicans. His agrarian reforms were quite an achievement at the time. You can group him with Catiline too, who called for progressive changes from the Republican system.
I believe that one was a parody group created by someone else, with nothing serious posted there.
Hi, Comrade, I thought there was a Third World Caesarean Socialism group here?
Thanks for clarifying.
Ah, I never said I fully agreed with you (though I think Napoleon was a mix of positive and negative), I just thought you put your point across well. And if you recall, I argued that you were a socialist and should not be banned, whilst thinking your views were ''idiosyncratic'' rather than reactionary. I have no problem at all with you holding your views, and I do think that Caesar was at least better for the poor than many of his republican enemies.
Re. your "thank" on Napoleon, you do realize that I was alluding to a variant of "idiosyncratic" (your words, I recall) Third World Caesarean Socialism for the 1790s and the beginning of the 19th century, don't you?
