Except that Napoleon was not voted to become emperor by the free will of the people :D you should study a bit more before saying that… if you want another Napoleon, i suggest you think twice.
I agree he was a remarkable man, but i would never want to live under him.

the clergy or the church called him that, because they couldnt control him… i never saw any history book call him an anti-christ and i studied history

I can’t bear comparing Napoleon to Hitler or Stalin. That’s like comparing icecream to onions.

A truely remarkable man of courage and determination, sadly his ego came to hunt him at the end.

In addition of Nietzsche’s will to power: Napoleon wasn’t restricted by his reason (if he was living according his reason he would accept his live as a outcast Corsican). He had the will to power i.e. he was determine to create his own faith.

I couldn’t help but feeling sympathy and respect for him.But there was something ambivalent about it. How come we all have sort of respect for Napoleon but we all resent Hitler and Stalin? The fact is that because of Napoleon’s determination 3.000.000 men died. I found an answer in Nietzsche. He said that a superman (that is how he saw Napoleon) must have two main virtues: a man must be noble and assertive (full of will). No doubt Napoleon had the will to power. He was born as an underdog in Corsica en became an emperor. besides he was also a noble man. He fought his battles while he was outnumbered and his purpose was not to decimate men but he wanted power (that people died opposing that will to power was somehow a side effect). Otherwise Hitler was also a man of will but he wasn’t a noble man. He hadn’t the virtue of being a straight man. He was a manipulator who decimate millions of jews not by a man to man combat but by cowardly kill them without letting them a chance. Anyone else about this topic?

Some claim Napoleon to be one of the anti-christ’s in history. This documentary rightfully shows Napoleon as a French hero.

If you meant Roman history during the middle ages you might be interested in Byzantium the lost empire, it’s an 4 episode documentary divided in multiple parts on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2brn8FoZcHs

In episode 3 31:35 when Napoleon says ” I come to realize, that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people, whom nature has endoved with nobler minds. ” I could not agree more. Vote for Napoleon for Emperor! :)
