ولكنها تعالج الحدث باعتباره ثورة على الظلم، فتبعد عن الطرح الأسطوري وتقرب من لغة الثورة والشعار الثوري في مواجهة الكسروية والمُلْك العضوض.

Czarism/Tsarism/imperialism
This is another word for قيصرية. it can mean any of the above depending on your context, however tsarism/czarism in English mainly refer to pre-Bolshevik revolution Russia, so perhaps "imperialism" is more suitable in this context and is a lot more topical if your text is related to contemporary issues.

كسروية may well be a reference to the Persian Sassanid Empire that went down with the advent of Islam in Persia. Imperialism is a good way to refer to this empire, however if the reference is actually to the form of leadership of the Khosroes, then the term would be \"imperial monarchy\" or \"absolute monarchy\".
