Articles like this, that fail to name Marxism as the Enemy, are not necessarily doing us a service.

Oswald Mosley would not have underestimated Marxists.

The Cultural Failure That Makes Spouting Nonsense About Trump Possible

(How the Christian Roman Empire remembers its dead, to this very day)

Respublica Christiana is a thing -- google it ;)
A Republic... *IF* you can keep it.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Res_publica_Christiana

In medieval and early modern Western political thought, the respublica or res publica Christiana refers to the international community of Christian peoples and states. As a Latin phrase, res publica Christiana combines Christianity with the originally Roman idea

... of the res publica ("republic" or "commonwealth") to describe this community and its well-being. A single English word with somewhat comparable meaning is Christendom; it is also translated as "the Christian Commonwealth".

You know, like the Commonwealths of Virginia and Massachusetts.
