Yeah but it got better eventually, right?
...right?...
Yeah, Caesar is a bad comparison. Sulla fits better, although at least he was legitimately successful before his coup.
It was worse before autocrats, they were seen as someone better.
Caesar slander! He was assassinated by conservatives for not sufficiently fellating the interests of the ultra-wealthy.
Comrade Caius was betrayed by counter-revolutionaries undermining the will of the proletariat and the sovietus populsque romanus!
