Would communism have succeeded if capitalism wasn't hostile and aggressive?

An ideology that can't compete in a sea of other ideologies is worthless.
>>
>>2817714
Isn't communism and class warfare completely structured around capitalism being hostile though?

It wouldn't last, no matter what. You can't have a government mandate an entire country's worth of materials and goods without an index of its worth, proportional to its need in a market.

What prevented Africans from developing mathematics like every other great civilization in the world, including Greeks, Arabs, Persians, and Chinese?

>>2817602
The oldest known tool of mathematics is the Ishango bone, secondly West African use of fractals is widely known and spoken on.

They're as legit as yaweh though. No need to disrespect the pagan gods.

Why is Prometheus considered a hero in the Greek mythology but Satan is the villain in Christianity? Aren't they basically the same archetype?
25 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>2817480
Nobody considers Prometheus a hero in Greek mythology except for Aeschylus in Prometheus bound
>But he gave mankind fire
Granted, but he was never seen as heroic for it. While Prometheus benefitted humans he mostly did so out of spite for Zeus and regret for not aiding the titans in the Titanomachy. Eventually his "fire bestowing" was attributed to Hermes and Haephastus.

>In another version, Hades was sent to chain Sisyphus and was chained himself. As long as Hades was tied up, nobody could die. Because of this, sacrifices could not be made to the gods, and those that were old and sick were suffering. The gods finally threatened to make life so miserable for Sisyphus that he would wish he were dead. He then had no choice but to release Hades.[10]

Why has prostitition been a proliferate business in literally every culture and civilisation since the dawn of civilisation? Is it because men have natural needs they can't control or because women genuinely enjoy sex and might as well get paid doing what they enjoy?
45 posts and 7 images submitted.
>>
>>2817368
Its because people have always and will always like sex and paying for it is the easiest way to get it. What a dumb thread
>>

>since the dawn of civilisation?
Before that bro. Waaaaaay before that. Apes who have been introduced to the concept of money quickly invent prostitution and gambling.
>>
>>2817368
Prostitution is older than Homo Sapiens. It's a simple exchange of goods and services.

>>2817210
con·scious·ness
ˈkän(t)SHəsnəs/Submit
noun
the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings.
"she failed to regain consciousness and died two days later"
the awareness or perception of something by a person.
plural noun: consciousnesses
"her acute consciousness of Mike's presence"
the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world.
"consciousness emerges from the operations of the brain"

Seems real to me.
