The three social classes in ancient Sparta were: the Spartiates (free citizens with full rights), the helots (slave employed in production activities), perioeci (free citizens that wandered around, <em>"dwellers around",</em> who were mainly traders or craftmen).
Spartiates dedicated their lives fully to becoming high quality professional soldiers, as actually military activities which were the common objective of the whole society. Since they were children they were educated by the state-sponsored education system, the Agoge, that fostered values such as obedience, discipline, courage, loyalty to Sparta, self control, etc.

The Berlin Airlift was a major effort, primarily but not exclusively by the British, to maintain supply lines to West Berlin when the USSR refused to let supplies be delivered by road, rail, or ship. It continued for 11 months before the USSR backed down and allowed normal import of supplies to the city again. This was a victory for capitalism, as the cooperation between capitalist countries allowed West Berlin to resist the USSR's demands. It also prevented the USSR from controlling the entirety of Berlin, which would have likely led to a communist Germany and thus left capitalist Europe one nation poorer.
The many cults and sects of Roman religions, and the later inclusion of Germanic and Judaic religions would allow Rome to be inclusive to many peoples, including those whom they conquered.
