Nice comment. I wish the internet would be full of people sharing love and understanding. Too much outrage these days, because of how social media works.

It seems that we are not capable to learn a lesson that we received half of century ago (the communist dystopia) since there are so many fierce communists nowadays (also apart from that, the raising of extremist movements) What to learn about ancient democracy... and for real, what to learn from it? That a part of our society can be easily categorized as very close to slaves in the Ancient Greece? Not to be mean or anything but maybe a much noble reason to study the classics would be that they wrote pices of incredibly important ideas that can help us track the evolution of human thought, that being just one relevant reason.

nah its more like that the romans introduced a lot of things to us, especially the latin alphabet (obviously coming from greek, who got it from the phoenicians and the eastern regions). Also imperialism, colonialism, racism, misogyny etc stems from how the past interpreted the romans (the british empire wanted to be the new roman empire, same with mussolini). Thats why we need to be better to talk about ancient world and how it influenced our societes (in the west). Sexism and patriarchy also comes from the roman world, so thats why we need to talk about it.
