  • With all this talk about the coming American Caesar, we failed to consider who will be the coming American Crassus.

    • Caesar was trying to uphold the roman system but in a reformed way, very "I hate big coperation, lets split them up into smaller ones" aka StandardOil. The plebs were already eliminated as a political faction at this point. Crassus was the moderate and wanted primarily to bail out the equities in Asia and in general had big finance business connections in the east. So an american crassus would be a older billionaire moderate, run afoul of the american elite, who has big finance ties with europe. So maybe someone like Jeffrey Sachs? He isnt Crassus rich though and not really a politician.
