  1. Wow. So Sparta was essentially just a Fascist wonderland, since everyone's primary loyalty was to the state (at all costs). Bye Sparta

  2. +QWERTY man Depends on how you define prosperity. A slave state can be rich and powerful, but it doesn't mean it's great to be a slave.

  3. +BisdremisKostas >"is there anything more fascistic than a corrupt government imposing unbearable taxes and not offer a proper educational or healthcare system?" Is there anything more fascist? Well yes, a fascist state is more fascist than that. You do understand that Fascism has a specific meaning, yes? It's Authoritarian Nationalism, ie: everyone's primary loyalty is to the state at all costs. As to your presidential war sex example: If i were fighting in a war, i'd be wondering why there was a war in the first place, i'd be wondering how many lives could have been saved had my state & leaders & culture not been so belligerent. I'd be wondering if maybe it'd be better for the world if we were wiped out.

  5. +Osman Oglu Cool story bro. "Not Fascist", Directed by Michael Bay, a cautionary tale about what will totally happen to a nation that isn't fascist.

  6. +Osman Oglu You have started with nothing but the knowledge that my nation isn't fascist. And from just this, you have somehow ended with the knowledge that my nation will fail because of disunity and uncaring and a bunch of other cliche apocalyptic bullshit.

  8. +Osman Oglu Prisoners are already used as "forced" labour, as if they don't work they are punished. Considering USA's shockingly huge prison population (and the disproportionate amount of black people in jail), it has prompted some to say that America never really stopped slavery.

  9. +Osman Oglu USA's prison industrial complex makes a lot of money and free labour is a part of that. They make much more than just plates, they make all sorts of shit, which is then sold for profit by the prison. Google it, check this shit out: "All told, nearly a million prisoners are now making office furniture, working in call centers, fabricating body armor, taking hotel reservations, working in slaughterhouses, or manufacturing textiles, shoes, and clothing, while getting paid somewhere between 93 cents and $4.73 per day,"
