Planetary Movements And Super Crises

[Anthony '58]

But even if the fall of the Byzantine Empire can be downplayed in importance, the peasants' revolts cannot - and either way, the acquisitive age that began in Charlemagne's day ended, and from there it was on to the Crisis era that culminated with the Wars of the Roses, and after that, the start of the a new (modern) epoch, with the Renaissance.

This was followed by a two-saeculum warrior age (the Crisis era of the second being the Glorious Revolution), then a two-saeculum intellectual age (the Crisis era of the second being the Civil War in the United States and the Crimean War in Europe), and now, a two-saeculum acquisitive age.

As for what's ahead, the racial and ethnic discord that the rentiers are sowing is their last hope in forestalling a proletarian revolution - and the role that the low-church Protestant fundamentalists are playing is making it very tempting for the proletariat to do what the Irish did in 1916, what the Slovaks did in 1939, what the Croats, Bosnians, and Kosovars did in 1941, and what the Sicilians did in 1943, and accept help from ISIS, al Qaeda, Hamas, etc.
