Ancient Greece

Τι γίνεται, as someone with Greek ancestry (grandparents) I have studied the mythology, theology and the philosophy of the ancients of my homeland; the fathers of democracy and the most badass warriors next to Mongolian horse archers and Samurai.
The ancients of Greece surely had slaves but they were equal opportunity slavers. Ancient Greece worked on a simple principle: You were "in the club" or "out of the club"
It did not matter so much what race you were from only that you were a citizen, spoke Greek and acted Greek. The rest - Barbaros or barbarians. Athens, the city most associated with the goddess (now pagan I suppose) Athena whom is associated with wisdom, warfare and handicraft was most uptight about citizenship.
The fate of barbaros, especially those captured in battle was one of the following:
>Second class citizen
>No political rights
>Inability to own land
>If captured in battle possibly enslavement, forced labour or execution
From what I have seen and heard, most of the west today has various issues that are building and based on my research generally leads to a civil war if the momentum is not halted.
I am of the belief we can learn twofold from my ancestors, namely:
1. Stoicism - The philosophy of essentially controlling yourself and not the world, focusing on what you can change and accepting what you cannot, not allowing the outside world to toss you around like a ragdoll and being in control of your mind in the midst of the chaos of the world.
2. Spartan warrior discipline and mentality - From age 7 boys were taken from their mothers and dumped in the Agoge; the military training hellhole designed to rip out as much softness as possible and replace it with an obedient resolute warrior and cowardice was worse than death.
If the west can learn from the virtues of the ancients and leave the harmful elements, learn the ways of the ancients Greeks, perhaps we can save the West and lead it into a new age of prosperity
