Since my stab (violent threat) will only be one stab of many (conspiracy to murder a politician) who can say which of us will strike the killing blow? Truly, we can all be said to have murdered Caeser, or, if its convenient, none of us did.

Michael Parenti wrote a book about Julius Caesar which I never read. But apparently it portrays him as a pseudo-populist hero who was killed by the forces of reaction.

I just read this book a few days ago. It's not really so much about Caesar himself, but more about the class war in ancient Rome, covering things like the Gracchi brothers, the Marius-Sulla civil war and whatnot, as well as Caesar. Parenti almost made it seem like Caesar's rule was like an ancient version of a dictatorship of the proletariat or something, with his redistributing wealth and land to the masses while using his power to break up the stranglehold that the senatorial landlord aristocracy had over everything.

The senate had him assassinated not because he was trying to become a king or tyrant with too much power, but because he was threatening their wealth and class privileges. The senate had no problems with rulers like Sulla using brutal absolute power as long as they were using it to protect their class interests and crush the plebs. When Octavian became the first emperor and neutered the power of the senate, the rich senators didn't care so much because he turned everything around and protected their class interests instead of challenging them like Caesar.
