I completely agree, now that you mentioned Rome, Rome was and is responsible for Mexicos failed state, Roman catholism to be specific was self appointed to Mexico to govern and basically enforced the rule of law being that the catholic institution is one of the biggest financial entities and for hundreds of years imposed a "voluntary " but mandated 10% tariff on all households. As with any big government if you look at history from the Romans,Chinese,Britain etc they all imploded under their own weight!
Great comment btw @dexterdumb
