The author of the blog entry has gotten some publishing exposure (introduction) here, here, and (maybe) here. Also, underground metal music reviewer: http://www.examiner.com/metal-music-in-houston/brett-stevens

Anyway, here is my slightly modified take on the death of republic as influenced by Carl Schmitt et. al.

I believe what America is showing and what ancient Greece experienced, as Plato indicates, is the liberalizing of a democracy leads us around to the next segment in the cycle. Liberalizing a democracy opens up the political process to people who are too corruptible or inherently incompetent to effectively participate without discord taking hold.

A healthy republic must:

  1. Be small enough that there are no competing interior regional interests like economic, ethnic, religious, or cultural
  2. Limit political input to a peer group of its most highly competent and responsible
  3. Swiss-like civilian self-defense requirement with default neutrality policy toward foreign conflicts
