Further factual distortions. Sparta was a slave state based, not on the works of the Spartans, themselves, but on that of the , which Sparta controlled brutally.

Athens was better, but most of the residents were not citizens with political rights, but resident aliens, or slaves. Think for yourself what this means for present day America.
