This is exactly why I think about the roman empire at least once a week.
Did you know they also caused hyperinflation by printing thousands of debased sestercii? Then when the currency completely lost value they switched to a barter economy and people paid their taxes in whatever they produced.
Also they did price fixing too to try to curb hyperinflation, but that just resulted in black markets and people fleeing their professions. So they enslaved whole families and bloodlines to their jobs in perpetuity.

History repeats.

Thats the joke isnt it. The Romans thought of Slavs as less than human. Imagine what they thought of niggers
@DireGoy “Strategically, as will be seen again and again throughout history, the driving force of political power is, namely, physical occupation. Political power comes from physical occupation: not historical rights, not title deeds, not moral rights – only occupation. Physical bodies of people need to be standing on the land, itself, in large numbers so as to push out the previous inhabitants regardless of all other “rights of ownership.” The perfidious moneylenders knew this from long experience of throwing people out of their homes and moving in new renters and selling to new owners. They merely applied such small-scale tactics as nation-wide strategies of ethnic genocide.” — How The Jews Betrayed Mankind: Vol. 1, “The Sumerian Swindle”, by Gregory Delaney

I'm nowhere near as familiar as I should be, other than some of the horrors perpetrated by the anarchists.
