Xenophon concludes his Hiero with αὖξε τὴν πόλιν, enhance, strengthen the city. The sole purpose of political existence is an endless accumulation of power, a total war of all against all. This Greek, all too Greek mindset is the main drive behind Hellenistic political history.https://twitter.com/nastyinmuhtaxi/status/1048376128379998208 …

Hellenistic statesmanship is an aesthetic organization of political power, much like fascism. When one turns politics into art, given that art is the excess, the superfluous in itself, it is to be expected that dramatic waste of both human and material resources will ensue. https://twitter.com/nastyinmuhtaxi/status/1030121791832956929 …
