AP English Language: THIS IS SPARTA-N

All right interesting Well in this sense a spartan existence

is contrasted to american prosperity and consumerism If americans are

buying lots of things well then the soviets presumably aren't

The soviet economy did not allow citizens all glittery seductive

fancy options at least not the way the american economy

offered that to consumers And especially when they have big

fat credit cards Well mostly all consumers received the same

thing The same apartment food clothing and someone like that's

what you get in the soviet union in that era

The whole idea was to have the garbage man live

in the same manner as thie Neurosurgeon It went over

really well with lots of people Yeah just check the

history books So culturally of course the soviet union was

ideologically repressed So get rid of a is a choice

here because it's not spartan and their society was communist

He get rid of that and never fascist get rid

of sea and rather military like so get rid of

deep Their fashion itself though was spartan disciplined frugal no

frills no much like kanye west fall two thousand fifteen

Easy line Actually fashion goes in weird directions We know

we know But here the answer is spartan means basically 00:01:32.412 --> [endTime] be no frills
