While upholding its old ways I only see a problem that assisted the destruction thereof the Empire: Making Christianity the state religion. It was heavily put down at points but was better fit when it was not a center for politics. The limited time it was accepted, before being required, and considered equal among other religions in the eyes of the Republic, is when I say it avoided conflict.
I must admit I'm not quite sure what you're arguing. You began by speaking of social liberalism and national socialism, and then went on to speak of them as being a consequence of the fall of the Roman Empire. I'm sure you realize that there are about 1500 years in the meantime that you haven't quite accounted for. ^^
What I, on my hand, meant, was that liberalism in its various forms, only seemed to have been able to rise with the death of the Christianity that had flourished during those 1500 years.

That's quite accurate, if not entirely. You would probably find more resonance with Jorb in that statement of defeatism. ^^
I on my hand tend to think that, while the New World Order appears to be winning or having won on most if not all fronts, there is still tradition left in peoples' minds which I like to try and believe can be resurrected, and that, on a positive note, the NWO cannot actually "win" since its very formulations depends on "stolen ideas" from tradition and that it's too philosophically empty to be able to truly stand on its own. It can only bring about its own ruin in the end. I'm just hoping its ruin comes before the ruination of everything we hold dear.

Revolution, revolution, revolution, revolution.
