The Roman-style fall came because of a bloated, corrupt, complex, centralized, authoritarian government spent itself into oblivion, and made their currency worthless through devaluation and inflation.

They may at least have the “Roman” part correct

The Roman fall came more generally when Julius Caesar consolidated all power in Rome. His adopted son, Caesar Augustus, finished the job of consolidating power into the Imperium.

The Roman Senate became nothing more than the City Council for Rome.

Brutus and the other Senators were correct.
