Does /his/ think the Gracchi brothers were in the right?
>>580557
The Gracchi did literally nothing wrong.
>>580560
I agree. I'm asking because /his/ is filled with Optimates-boos and I wanna see their reasoning.
>>580557
Greatest philanthropists in the ancient world. Similar to Gandhi and mlk, but better
>>580557
> literally "we'll make Rome great again!" populists
I agree with Dan Carlin here, if you had a time machine and told the senators about what would happen in the next 100 years after their murder, the senators would enact more pro plebeian reforms than Gracchii themselves.
>>580594
Who is Dan Carlin and why does so many on /his/ care about him?
>>580557
breddy left desu.
They were great.
>>580583
Literally what every Roman said from the end of the 2nd punic war all the way to the fall of the empire.
>>580557
In domestic and economic issues they were Cesar before Cesar.
>>580557
Its been awhile since I studied them but from what I remember thinking some of their ideas where good an necessary, others unnecessarily antagonized the ruling class.
>>580557
Ancient Communists.
>>580798
None of them wanted to end the Patrician-Plebeian divide. They wanted to redistribute land.
That's land reform anon. Taiwan did land reform ffs.

The wild beasts of Italy have their caves to retire to, but the brave men who spill their blood in her cause have nothing left but air and light. Without houses, without settled habitations, they wander from place to place with their wives and children; and their generals do but mock them when, at the head of their armies, they exhort their men to fight for their sepulchers and the gods of their hearths, for among such numbers perhaps there is not one Roman who has an altar that has belonged to his ancestors or a sepulcher in which their ashes rest. The private soldiers fight and die to advance the wealth and luxury of the great, and they are called masters of the world without having a sod to call their own.
- Tiberius Gracchus
Great man.

>great man
I imagine some kinda /his/ gameshow or maybe some kinda institution, and they have two signs.
They're shown the picture of a historical figure and a summation of their life works, then the /his/ person simply raises either his sign that either says "great man" or "not great man" and moves on to the next historical figure.

And what every contender for the US presidency or UK prime ministership has said since the Second World War till... well, they're still saying it actually.
>>580557
They wouldn't have been killed if they were right
>>580557
I like the Gracchi, and I suppose they were in the right from a certain perspective.
>>580557
Some of the hottest black men I've ever seen
Proto-Communists.
The good kind.
>>580601
he's a great pop-historian with a fun podcast.
>>580560
The gracchi put power out of the senate.
>>581006
It is hilarious to see the parallels in modern society.
2000 years ago, Romans were sitting around the forum and bathhouses shit posting about muh degeneracy and how good Rome used to be way back when and arguing over the meme status of the new consul candidate Publius Donaldus Trumpius and his message of "Make Rome Great Again"
>>580557
More like 'in the left' :^)
>>580557
Absolutely.
And we can infer this because baiscally all their policy was implemented posthumously.

The original fire and brimstone populists, and there's nothing wrong with that.
