The US is moving towards its decline as the Roman Empire did, and Rome is most dangerous during its decline, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, political scientist and philosopher Sergey Kurginyan said on February 15 on the Right to Know program on channel TVC.
“When Rome became a Rome of bread and games, when the Roman citizen became corrupt with these imperial capabilities, when he became reluctant to die for Rome and to understand what Rome gave him (e.g. land to legionary), then the decline of Rome began. And from that moment no one could stop this decline… In order to manage the decline, one has to change the society and the state as well as politics, but not this superstructure,” he said.
Kurginyan noted that, for the parameters formed in Russia in the post-Soviet period, despite huge shortcomings of certain aspects of the policy, the governance is generally optimal.
The political scientist explained that “with the parameters of the society they have in America, they can govern in an optimal manner and improve something, but this is a hopeless society and a hopeless state.”
Sergey Kurginyan stressed that the US has already entered its “downward condition,” the condition of decline, which no one can stop.
The philosopher explained that, when Rome enters its decline, it remains capable, but “it is the decline when it is most dangerous.”
Also, the political scientist added, the Roman emperors had no nuclear weapons. He indicated that, in order to make the United States great again, Trump needs to “make the citizen great again.”
“They need an American that existed in 1930s, in 1940s, even in 1950s, but they killed him, they destroyed him. What remained of him, and we must tip our hats to that, promoted Trump in their convulsive and instinctive will to survive. The will of the grassroots white America to survive is what promoted Trump,” the political scientist explained.
The “grassroots white America” is already corrupt and transformed into “some sort of minced meat,” it is not what it was in the times of the novels by Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner.
“And no desperate efforts of the leaders unable to rely on powerful and live people, no attempts to change the policy without changing the entire state and social system can do anything great again. This applies to America as well as to everything else,” the political scientist explained.
