The Origin Of The Fascist Mentality 23

north, such as the Vandals, Goths, and Visigoths, were still more savage.
They strove to wreak devastation on each other, as well as
plundering Rome. The pagan world was a place where
violence prevailed, where the use of brutality of every kind
was encouraged, and where there was no consideration at
all for ethics.
The best example in the pagan world of a "fascist"
system, in the modern sense, was the Greek city-state of
Sparta.

Lycurgus, the founder
Sparta: A Model for All Fascists of the Spartan State
Sparta was a military state, dedicated to war and violence, and alleged
to have been founded by Lycurgus in the 8th century BC. The Spartans
implemented highly regimented system of education. Under the Spartan
system, the state was very much more important than the individual. Peoples'
lives were measured according to whether or not they would be of use to the
state. Strong, healthy male children were dedicated to the state, while
unhealthy babies were abandoned to the mountains to die. (This Spartan
practice was taken as an example by the Nazis of Germany, and it was claimed,
under the further influence of Darwinism, that the sickly needed to be
eliminated to maintain a "healthy and superior race.") In Sparta, parents were
responsible for raising their sons until the age of seven. From then, until the
age of 12, children were placed in teams of 15, and those who stood out for
their abilities were selected to be leaders. Children spent their time
strengthening their bodies and preparing for war by practicing
sports.

The pagan world
possessed a culture in
which only brute force
was seen to matter.
Like the Romans,
northern barbarian
pagan tribes such as
the Vandals, Goths and
Visigoths took great
pleasure in bloodshed.
