Life of Tiberius Gracchus.

Rome was once a largely democratic society, with regular elections. This Republic lasted for 500 years, but then came Tiberius Gracchus. He believed in the ideals of the Republic - fairness, decency and justice for everyone -but was appalled by Rome's aristocrats' treatment of the poor. So he unleashed the power of the mob upon the streets of Rome, with devastating consequences.

    The Rome Tyberius built was not a social democracy.

  • @dekatko

    Might is right.

  • Even after endless history the Rightwing still has the gall to demonize those big "scary" social democracies...

  • @mrawesomesupercool I'd vote for him :)

  • @Scipio2021 Redistribution of Wealth? there is none, the lands that were taken are not theirs to begin with!

  • @Scipio2021 he begins the end of the republic

  • @Vote4RonPaulLiberty if we don't pay taxes then the government can't support our education system, that's the reason why so many people are bankrupt because they now have to pay thousands of dollars because of collage tuition and dude you don't go to jail if you can't pay your taxes, you only go to jail if you can pay them but you don't, if it wasn't for taxes we would have not been able to put Al Capone behind bars, tell me why are you on this video? Tiberius was basically a socialist
