Ancient regime.
There was a radio show on .... a doctor of the law ( a real one) talking about the changes to the constitution needed for Australia to move to a republic. It’s a familiar enough script.. society hidebound .. grub in a cocoon becoming a butterfly under the influence of the suns rays.. .. harder to stay in than to burst out.. but if it stays in .. then obviously it will be worse for it than just death.. it will be the thwarting of an opportunity for the self-expression of a beautiful thing. It’s a saga independent of locality or point in time.. rather.
What is so surprising is that the debate is necessary .. well it is.. here and other places that are due for resolution. (revolution is way incorrect).
I'm not a particularly literary person..and have read very little Balzac and no Mollière at all.. but… its a famliar enough cycle.. revolution.. >new order ..> despotism ..> revolution.. >new order .. >despotism…
In this case it is the despotism of conservatives who will not pass beyond the confines of earlier founding fathers.. its bizarre twaddle actually...... change or die!
So,,, the ancient regime was that before the modern times.. the king .. the knights.. the slaves.. basically.. the French got the model from the romans.. and it was streamlined into the form of growth economics by the time it grew up in the usa. Dazzling the world.. putting a man on the moon..true.. i'm not just looking at america and extrapolated supply/demand economics models. (ahem) .. but as with all things.. this too shall pass.
The question is.. what next?
Well.. I tend to go with the archangel metatron and koothoomi.. but to each her own.
