I thought faith destroyed the empire. A turning away from authority and toward free will. Doing your own thing caused a setback of some 1200 years before it started paying dividends big time. Just like liberal policies today, intrinsically good but fatally ahead of it’s time.
LOL. I assume you were joking. There will never be a time when leftist policies produce anything except ever increasing government power ending in a bankrupt totalitarian state controlling the population with bread (welfare) and circuses (survivor).
If you weren't joking, what events do you see over the next 1,000 years that will make leftist policies effective? About the only thing I can imagine that would produce that effect would be genetic engineering that would fundamentally alter human nature.
