About my theory that Spengler wasn't talking about the distant past, but recent times.

Macrobius

Megaphoron
In a sort of Ethical Socialism Coded way.

Spengler's Faustian, Apollonian, and Magian Culture were about the 18th Century | TBC (tunisbayclub.com)

... not the distant past.

The Faustians are the Prussian Gymansium as it evolved in the 19th century. (Very Romanesque, playing Romance (pronounced as in Spanish with Zetacismo) rather than 'Epic', eh?

The Apollonians were the Ancien Regime -- see Louis XIV and France.

The Magians were Protestants. See the Thirty Years War or the Republic/Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Virginia for examples.

Not sure what he thot of Confucious and the modern trend towards 'Technics' and 'Meritocracy' like Xi. Heidegger certainly had a bit to say about that.
