We are a relatively new state, only the language is routed to them and the geography is the same. Ancient Greece belongs to anybody feeling philosophically linked to those guys. Julius Caesar founded the West as we know it on a plan, using their ideas. Renaissance stood on solders of giants like Aristotle. Add some Machiavelli in the mix. The Western principles are considered deeply Aristotelian till today. The Athenian democracy was a direct system. Every citizen had to govern in groups. Back in those days slavery in Athens was like immigration today. Don't think of cotton fields. A ''slave'' could lend money to a citizen or could become one by doing some common benefit deed. When democrats fought aristocrats, thousands of ''slaves'' became citizens because they fought for democracy. It was just a clever system that proved strong in the course of time. They were not ideologists. Pragmatists more to say. Ideology comes on the scene after the French revolution.

Of course. They were a fully fledged society with butchers and saints and everything. They just had more of a direct say and some excellent people who thought over issues straight. Those guys said some right stuff first in history, and they proved right. So they became classics for everybody to draw from. Actually the idea of democracy was born after of a casual discussion between sophists wondering if being best is hereditary or it can be achieved. They concluded that it can be achieved. So they thought that everybody must have a chance. Aristocracy started clocking backwards till then in Athens.
