"Don't Blame Caesar"
“Do not blame Julius Caesar. Blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the forum of the ‘new, wonderful, and good society which shall be Rome,’ interpreted to mean more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.” Cicero said this, and it tells me Caesar was a socialist, though he didn't even know what socialism meant. This is the usual “clarion call” to the ignorant for socialism, and this is why Rome fell. People have been falling for this swindle for aeons and those who just want a “free ride" will ALWAYS fall for it. (Just common sense)
