what we need to remember: After the roman collapse we had over thousand years of stagnation which we now call the dark ages. How can we avoid that today?

We don’t call it the Dark Ages, and it wasn’t stagnant. Understanding that is a good start. The Roman empire also lasted until 1453 in the east. I think it is important to learn from the past, but first we have to learn ABOUT the past otherwise we keep making the same mistakes.

However if you have a succint reference to where the middle ages went forward, where it stagnated and where it went backwards, I’d be happy if you could send a link. My knowledge is limited to school education, prose, and diverse but not comprehensive documentaries and articles.

somehow it sounds like the roman collapse — but with nazis added in.

I'm failing to see how theocracy or fascism could be anything else than authoritarian. The article reads somewhat like a set of distinctions made for the sole purpose of making them, as opposed to providing a useful analytical model.
