This quote is from Paul Rosenberg, whom I just discovered and am getting acquainted with. Here is a podcast episode of his I just listened to that addresses this topic. Slavery and the State was abolished during the so-called "Dark Ages" and people had a lot more freedom than we are led to believe! And then the State was revived with the so-called Renaissance and Enlightenment. Perhaps to be free once again "Rome" just needs to fall, again.
