Is it autistic that I want to pick up fencing? Will it help in anyway in the real world?
Fencing is autism, but HEMA is full-blown aspergers
If you enjoy fencing as a hobby/sport, go for it.
It will give you zero help in anything though.

>Is it autistic that I want to pick up fencing?
No.
>Will [martial art] help in anyway in the real world?
Fuck no.

How do Marxist respond to the criticism that his assertion that the real value of a commodity is only determined by labor-time is an arbitrary definition which cannot be proved and is of no use for the empirical description of economic phenomena because it is impossible to measure the value any commodity in units of necessary labor time?
Most marxists worth anything abandoned marxian ltov.
He isn't a Marxist, but Kevin Carson has a fairly thorough attempt to rehabilitate the LTV in Mutualist Political economy. The general gist is that as the supply of goods expands to meet demand, they prices will drift towards the cost of producing the good in labor and materials (which since materials are acquired through labor, means labor determines the cost and eventual price of the good).
Because we require at least some definition of value, however arbitrary, in order to actually speak of economics in the first place.
Really now, this isn't a Marx specific thing.
Was it really genocide or just a famine?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor
OY vey six gojillian
These are the countries which think it was genocide.
Why Canada and Australia?
>>2757945
A bit of both. The Ukraine had always been a breadbasket, Soviet policies caused a famine, and further Soviet polices made it worse, but only for Ukrainians.
Why do Europoors think that muh gigantic gothic cathedrals, bombastic """classical""" music, and decadent renaissance art are signs of culture?
Culture is a measure of one's refinement, nobility, cleanliness, and fidelity to tradition.
you got lost on your way to /pol/ there, young one.

When a far right-winged Stacey explains the history of communism, what do you do?

What is "far" right, and how is communist not "far" left? Also, communism is death and oppression. Sage and fuck off.

Empire of Brasil.

It had an intellectual king in D. Pedro II. Brazil shouldn't had never stopped being a monarchy. The people didn't even have a choice in the matter.
>A passion for linguistics prompted him throughout his life to study new languages, and he was able to speak and write not only Portuguese but also Latin, French, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Chinese, Occitan and Tupi
>Subjects which interested Pedro II were wide-ranging, including anthropology, history, geography, geology, medicine, law, religious studies, philosophy, painting, sculpture, theater, music, chemistry, physics, astronomy, poetry and technology, among others.

Because getting your asses kicked in a war that was obviously stupid and wrong tends to be an unpopular thing for people to admit.
It's the same reason German chimped out so bad after WW1.

they didn't *use* the wheel.
I don't see how it's a problem.
Inventing and recognizing the use of a wheelbarrow is not instinctive. Llamas wearing baskets can transport things too.

Has /his/ ever heard of the Seven Laws of Noah found throughout the first 5 books of the Bible that Jews believe adherence to is the only way for a non-Jew to be considered righteous and worthy of a place in the World to Come? What are your opinions on them?
They are:
1. Do not deny G-d.
2. Do not blaspheme G-d.
3. Do not murder.
4. Do not engage in illicit sexual relations.
5. Do not steal.
6. Do not eat from a live animal.
7. Establish courts/legal system to ensure obedience to the law.

They're retarded. Why does god care if I call him a prick? Why would the almighty creator of the universe have such a thin skin?
>>2757212
I'm a Noachide, there are some things to note:
As a movement it is still very much in its resurgent nascency, and that a codified set of observances and guidelines of living a righteous based on the laws given by G-d to Adam is still being developed.
The movement so far is linked primarily with Chabad Orthodox Judaism, but obviously there is still a large of amount of fractionalisation occurring.
The is often confusion over the idea that being a righteous B'nei Noah; and observing the details of the 7 Commandments that G-d commanded them at Mount Sinai for eternity, through Moses as part of the Torah. Is of a lesser status than the mitzvahs of Judaism. This is not the case.

Do you know about the asknoah organization? What are your opinions on their work/prayer books
If not, what do you use to pray or what Noahide organization do you support
