is there any relation between caesarean and Caesarism?

Question

what is the first case of Caesarism in the history?

Answer 1

cesarean also spelled CAESARIAN, surgical removal of a fetus, at or before full term, from the uterus through an abdominal incision. Little is known of either the origin of the term or the history of the procedure. According to ancient sources, the procedure takes its name from a branch of the ancient Roman family of the Julii, whose cognomen Caesar (Latin caedere, "to cut") originated from a birth by this means; some modern historians doubt that this is true.

The first documented cesarean section on a living woman was performed in 1610; she died 25 days after the surgery.

Answer 2

"[Gaius Julius] Caesar was born [...] into a patrician family, the gens Julia [...] The branch of the gens Julia which bore the cognomen "Caesar" was descended, according to Pliny the Elder, from a man who was born by caesarian section (from the Latin verb to cut, caedo, -ere, caesus sum)."

"Caesarism : Military or imperial dictatorship; political authoritarianism." ... "a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)"

"Caesarism is essentially the death of the spirit that originally animated a nation and its institutions. It is marked by a government which is formless irrespective of its de jure constitutional structure. The antique forms are dead, despite the careful maintenance of the institutions; those institutions now have no meaning or weight. The only aspect of governance is the personal power exercised by the Caesar. This is the beginning of the Imperial Age."

"Spengler believed that his own era, Faustian, had reached its last stage. Signs of cultural decay were, among other things, atonal music, art produced for oversensitive connoisseurs, manipulation of the public opinion by mass media, imperialism, and Caesarism", a universal, formless will to power, which breaks the dictatorship of plutocracy and its political ally, democracy."

Conclusion : both are linked to Julius Ceasar. And *all* democratic countries can decay into Caesarism.

Answer 3

The yes, the first is an operation to remove a baby from a woman who is having trouble delivering it (this happened to Caesar, therefore it was named after him) and the second is the belief in the imperialistic ideas of Caesar ... weird connection, but they are both related to the same person.
