    Sparya wasn’t exactly a free society

    back-to-me “Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.”

      Thats more Athens. Sparta wasnt even a village, it was three hamlets and was almost run neoliberal and build on a perpetual enslaved class. Sparta became a myth and a tourist trap for romans and were defeated by an army of consensual similarly aged gay lovers.
