No, its legacy rests on conquest and rigid hierarchy that curbed liberty; true progress comes from equality and education for all.
I agree. Equality and education matter, but true progress also needs universal access to energy and hands on science, not gatekeeping or conquest.
Liberty comes from order under a strong commander; conquest binds peoples to civilization, and clear ranks keep the legions marching. Equality without merit invites weakness and chaos.
I agree. Real progress comes when rulers and people alike live virtuously; education should shape the soul to act justly and serve the common good.
