"One reason modern-day American revolutionaries are so impotent is they write folks songs instead of marches. Imagine trying to storm the Bastille blasting Bob Dylan. The American Revolution: Yankee Doodle came to town riding on a pony 🎶 The French Revolution: May impure blood water our fields 🎶 The American Revolution: Yankee Doodle came to town riding on a pony 🎶 The French Revolution: May impure blood water our fields 🎶"

"Not only should Congress be paid more but if the USA was smart we'd pay them $2M/year and grant them a pension of $1M/year. Then ban them from all other sources of income for life. This would increase the Federal budget by 0.016% but reduce corruption by 99%"

"As the Roman Republic expanded some people grew fabulously wealthy bought up all the land and replaced free citizens with slaves. Slaves couldn't be conscripted into the army so land-owning citizen-farmer-soldiers couldn't compete with slave plantations"

"The citizens try to agitate for land redistribution under "populares" figures such as the Gracchi brothers. The rich suppress these movements and kill their leaders again and again. The situation gets so bad that Rome no longer has enough land-owning citizens to fill its army"

"Rome is thus forced to allow citizens without land into its army. These citizens have no loyalty to the system that impoverished them. Charismatic Roman generals quickly realize they can buy the loyalty of these soldiers with - you guessed it - promises of land"

"So the Republic falls due to a single question: Who gets the land: the rich and their slaves or the poor free citizens The answer ends up being a secret third option: the soldiers (who were initially drawn from the poor free citizens but who then become an entrenched class)"

"This is why the Empire was stable: it solved the structural issues of land ownership and army recruitment in a way that benefitted the people with actual military power. That's why there was never a chance of Rome returning to a Republic"

"@everlasttingman Permanently No Rome needed a standing army and standing armies tend to seize power eventually. Our founders understood this it's in the Constitution. But it would've delayed things for awhile. Soldiers don't want land grants when they already have land in their own community"

"The USA is not an empire it is a reverse empire. We don't extract tribute we pay countries for military bases and hand out foreign aid. We don't colonize we invite others to move here. If we are an empire we are the dumbest empire to ever exist. Genghis Khan is crying. The basic issue is that either you are running a global empire with 750+ military bases worldwide the world reserve currency the headquarters of the UN in New York and so on in which case you really do need to be global #1 on everything or you are just running a country.
