Capitalism was less selfish during the cold war because it wanted less communism and so it needed to be careful in the public eye.

And this is a where the paradox lies

Give power to a man and he will become corrupt, distribut the power amongst multiple men and they will fight

There is no perfect balance

@Harry C about the Roman 2 man thing

Yes

Remember the two Egyptian siblings this was tryed with

Ummmm

Let me get the name

A boy and a girl

Basically they ended up dividing Egypt in two and turned it into a war zone

Eventually the girl one and ceased full power

Cleopatra and the other guy?

Yee

Her brother?

Really it was Julius Caesar that United the country. Because her brother killed his rival.

Yes this is true but my point still stands

And besides. That was not Roman republic.

Congratulations, @Harry C for reaching level 2!

No but I'm disputing the concept

Well no. The Egyptian way was way different.

But i ghuess we can all agree that socialism will never work

Aye?

Aye

Aye

The Roman way was a council made up of Tribunes and Patricians. Patricians represented the rich the Tribunes the poor.

Thank you @Flash for probably the best poll yet

Ikr

Your welcome

Both of these groups elected 1 Patrician and 1 Tribune as consul.
(Great poll)

Fucking flash and his high iq cool pools

Love that lad

Thank you!

These consuls proposed ideas. Both sides would usually have different ideologies or ideas. Mainly have Rome in mind.
The idea was perfect balance. And it worked until a bunch of ,(The equivalent of)ancient communists ruined the system.

🆙 | **Harry C leveled up!**

@Harry C hmmmmm it's definitely an interesting idea

Unfortunately the Romans like many other empires fell it corruption

To*

And that's where we tweak the system.

with capitalism

We find ways to avoid destruction or conquest and manipulation
