F*** WORK

And as such, in a British army, there is not much loyalty to the army writ large at all, all that matters is the regiment, British armies are tribal.

Legio Patria Nostra.

Spartan UBI is the only way it can work. Robot helots do the producing on the hoplite's farm while he trains every day. No money. Honor and glory, the only coinage.

And in this fantasy world what are the "hoplites" training for exactly? Some form of ritual warfare and/or personal combat ufc style?

Yes.

Don't pretend you would not embrace it.

When the work goes away, there is only conquest then.

Entirely plausible that the end of work will incite Spartanism.

But you are bourgeois, if work goes away and there is only robot helots, the bourgeoisie will be no more.

Every Ultra Chimp will be a King. Kings become warlords by default. No work, just cut straight to conquest.

With robot helots, there's not enough misery, Ultra Chimp needs something to fight against.
