In the tradition of the early Anti-Federalist writers, I have chosen the pen name of Epaminondas, the Thebian general who from 370-368 BC crushed the power of ancient Sparta.
Sparta was arguably the original fascist state of Western Civilization. An ancient Spartan would have felt right at home in 20th century Nazi Germany and vice versa. In crushing the power of Sparta in the Peloponnesus Epaminondas freed a number of fellow Greek cities from their centuries of enslavement to Sparta, restoring to them their status of free individual city-states – in essence a true anti-federalist.
