American Caesarism: Echoes of Rome in Modern Politics
This chapter examines the parallels between contemporary American political figures and the historical context of Rome's late Republican period, specifically focusing on the idea of 'American Caesarism.' It discusses how present-day ideologies invoke the strong leadership and conservative values of figures like Sulla, reflecting a desire for authority amidst perceived powerlessness. The conversation critiques the rise of right-wing sentiments and the nostalgic yearning for a past era of political dominance, drawing connections to ongoing cultural and political conflicts in society today.
