Civil War II Quotes

“The lesson is clear: The more monoethnic a European nation is, the more likely it is to be peaceful and stable. The more multiethnic a European nation is, the more likely it is to experience tribal civil wars. There is simply no real arguing with this brutal fact. The lesson here is that the likelihood of a minority group having a go at a military divorce from the nation increases with its chances of success, and its chances of success increase with its percentage of the population. … The most multiethnic European nation produced the most multiethnic dead.”

“Multiethnic empires are always tiered, undemocratic societies because it is impossible for empires to be other than tiered, undemocratic societies. Empires are always undemocratic because the diverse peoples making up the empire have nothing in common to serve as the foundation for the empire’s laws—no common mythology, no common language, no common culture, no common history, and—most important—no common vision of the empire’s future. … Empires mut necessarily be tiered because a certain group or groups must be given special privileges to enlist their support in the subjugation of the other groups.”
