This* is tenuous and speculative, a tiny and uncertain sample, until we consider that the sample cannot go further back in time; that the nature of the C degree is (among other things) a choice between politically democratic and fascist values; and that our own times, the third 2048C point in history, show so far a similar pattern to the previous one: a relatively small number of democracies existing so far for no more than a century or two; the political and cultural triumph at this time of those democracies; and (despite the new feature of a possible late surge to democracy, perhaps reflecting a much longer cycle), distinct signs of a move in democratic countries towards authoritarian methods which ultimately would make democracy in practice (not necessarily in form) simply a sham.

I don’t know of any other democratic stirrings, apart from a Scandinavian # one of, if I recall correctly, about 1,000 years standing – from the 1024 year C [point]?

**Iceland? [Isle of] Man?
