As America moves toward a more authoritarian and tyrannical government, the Russians have finally broken the bondage of their former Czars (1917) and the Soviet Union (1991); which replaced the Czars. Now Russians appear to be moving into more liberty tough their progress is uneven. It is interesting to see this juxtaposition of these two great countries. One embracing bondage, the other having had enough, now moving away from bondage.

SCORE: America 9, Russia 3…

In 1776 Alexander Fraser Tytler, a European historian published The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic. In his publication, Tytler reported that from his research he had determined the following:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over a loss of fiscal responsibility, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world’s great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith,
2. From spiritual faith to great courage,
3. From courage to liberty, (Russia?)
4. From liberty to abundance,
5. From abundance to selfishness,
6. From selfishness to complacency,
7. From complacency to apathy,
8. From apathy to dependency,
9. From dependency back again to bondage.” (USA?)
