It’s so weird how these people present themselves as anti-elitist when Sparta (which I think is what this weirdo is alluding to) has been a cherished ideal of elites for centuries.
Rhodesia does kind of fascinate me though and there are some interesting critical responses in that thread about what life was like there. It’s such a dismal, forgotten failure of a country - like I don’t think any country has been relegated to the dustbin of history harder or faster than Rhodesia was.
Like one of the interesting things I learned from that thread is that only 5000 big farmers had most of the arable land, and even among whites only those with significant land and income were allowed to vote.
I always wonder why do these weirdos imagine that if they lived in Rhodesia or Rome or wherever, they would be one of the elite (!) few. Like no you would be the cannon fodder dying in the jungle so that some guy that despises you can keep his servants and his stolen land
Most fascists are petit bourgeois, and always aspire to be one of the elites that run the country. It’s not surprising they imagine themselves like this.

Didn’t you read, comrade? Him and his buddies will walk in and take it!
