Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12827 Post contents: Jet you wrote: "Empire is not contrary to capitalism." Craig Senna you wrote: "This article should have concentrated more on the economic aspects of empires, which is what really matters." To both of you men a True Empire hinders and abolishes avarice and greed it does not promote it. So yes a True Empire is contrary to capitalism. So say Dante and others, but this True Empire is the Holy Roman Empire. Other man-made empires promote avarice etc.. Because of the 100 year abayence of the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor, capitalism and other perverse ideas have had their day in the sun these last 100 years. When the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor re-emerges on the world scene it will be attacked by Wall Street etc.. From Dante's Convivio: “Since the human mind does not rest content with limited possession of land but always seeks to achieve glory through further conquest, as we see from experience, discord and war must spring up between one kingdom and another. Such things are the tribulations of cities, of the surrounding cities, of the communities, and of the households of individuals; and so happiness is hindered. Consequently, in order to do away with these wars and their causes, it is necessary that the whole earth, and all that is given to the human race to possess, should be a Monarchy–that is, a single principality, having one prince who, possessing all things and being unable to desire anything else, would keep the kings content within the boundaries of their kingdoms and preserve among them the peace in which the cities might rest. Through this peace the communities would come to love one another, and by this love all households would provide for their needs, which when provided would bring man happiness, for this is the end for which he is born….. This pre-eminent office is called the Empire, without qualification, because it is the command of all other commands. And thus he who is placed in this office is called the Emperor, since he is the commander of all other commands; and what he says is law for all and ought to be obeyed by all, and every other command gains strength and authority from his. And so it is clear that the imperial majesty and authority are the highest in the fellowship of mankind.” Sent at: 2009 01 07
