Athens, Sparta and Rome were militiarchies, they had little or nothing to do with what we’re practicing today. Athens was a more liberal and democratic militiarchy, Sparta was a more communal and aristocratic militiarchy, and Rome was both, as it had the optimates and the populares. It was also more representative. Eventually and perhaps inevitably, all three were absorbed by the evil Alexander and Julius Caesar. The only way a man can be relatively free and equal, is if one owns his means of production, and is responsible for his own protection, or if he communally owns his means of production, and is communally responsible for his own protection. America and Switzerland were founded on Roman militiarchism, which is a lesser form of Athenian and Spartan militiarchism, but they’ve, particularly the former, become increasingly less militiarchic overtime. Once the citizen has been separated from the soldier, it’s nearly game over. Once the citizen has been deprived of his right to bear arms, then it’s really game over. Democracy is nothing without arms and land, without arms and land, democracy is a farce, a sham, a spectacle, nothing more. The New World Order, which is made up of elites of all ethnicities and races (Jewish predominates), which essentially has no allegiance to any blood or soil, is on the march, and if we don’t begin taking back our democracy, arms and land soon, dismantling the police and military in the process, we have no hope. Hedonism, materialism and religiosity (the three are the same, as religion is psychological hedonism) is replacing rationality, because animals are easier to control. The notion of citizen/soldier/politician embodied in 1 individual must be resurrected.
When was the USA ever a Democracy? We have had states and representatives since the beginning. That makes us a Republic. The pledge of allegiance even states that. We have no Democracy even on the local levels.
I know, I didn’t say It was ever a direct democracy, I said it’s a representative democracy. Actually, it’s more of two party dictatorship. Your republic is falling apart at the seams, or maybe it was always shit, but still better than any other.
