To understand what is happening today you need to go back a bit in time. Lets go back to the end of the Roman Republic. The Romans had a very clear idea of what it meant to be a Roman and this was called Romanitas. A Roman was a citizen, a soldier and a farmer. There was no standing army and soldiers would leave their farms to fight when the need arose. For a long time they had a stable society. But then they created a standing army and got involved in a lot of wars which resulted in an increase of slaves. These slaves were used by the elites on their farms and this meant that the citizen/soldier/farmers could not compete economically with the elite farmers. The elites took over their farms and they ended up on the Roman equivalent of the dole. All this led to civil wars and slave revolts.

Here's a relevant quote :

Cheap slave labor replaced work for the average citizen and the rolls of the unemployed masses grew to epidemic proportions. These issues had a great destabilizing effect on the social system which had a direct role in the demise of the Republic. As the rift between Senatorial elite (optimates) and social reformers (populares) grew, the use of the unemployed, landless, yet citizen mobs were an overwhelming ploy grinding away at the ability of the Senate to govern. Though there are many factors involved in the Fall of the Republic, slavery and its effects rippled throughout every aspect of that turbulent time period.

If a citizen/soldier/farmer had said to the local patrician that he didn't like all these slaves coming into the country I imagine he would have been dismissed as a right wing racist. The same argument is used by globalists today against workers who see their wages and jobs undermined by free trade and immigration which only benefit the elites.

Globalism will end in civil wars and slave revolts.
Fascinating. Tell me, when do you think Jeremy Corbyn will endorse Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders in the soon to be held elections in France and the Netherlands?
