If the entire world switched to a free market right now american living standards would fall dramatically and china would be the biggest superpower on earth.
The average chinese person would have insanely high living standards and the country would have a massive service sector economy.

Why? Because they produce so much. Right now all they do is produce goods and send them to america so americans can consume them.
If there was a free market in money and ZERO central banks, china would be on top. It's central banks that control people's living standards all around them world. Abolish them.

Forget maoism. Who's /FREE MARKET THIRD WORLDISM/ here?

Given that this board and 4chan in general is majority american, why in the fuck would we be in favor of this? I'd much rather see china broken and permanently made into a vassal-state frankly.

>why in the fuck would we be in favor of this?
Because america is going to collapse soon.
It's actually in your favor for the american economy to collapse sooner rather than later.
Then maybe you can implement free market policies and actually produce things that make your country richer.

>I'd much rather see china broken and permanently made into a vassal-state frankly.
I'm a free market economist and yes china is going to destroy you. It's hilarious how inevitable this is. You're just wasting time.

All communists and socialists need to be killed including the american gluton faggots.

Why did the US try harming its ally in the 80's?

Anyone know?

The Japs dindunuffin, never artificially devalued, never restricted imports, never subsidized exports, no?
>>
>>2693920
The US and the Japs aren't allies, American policy planners probably see Japan as more of a burden that they had to keep around as a bulwark against Communist China than anything else
>>
>>2693920
Because Japan was buying the shit out of American companies and real estate and Japanese culture began making great inroads into American culture. People get scared of other countries becoming so economically prominent in a fashion that is so close to home. This was also the beginning of that cancerous lesion called anime.

Where can i read about it?

If you decide to worship your own interpretation of God (based on all the things you read), does God pay attention to you?

Or does the fact that you have no affiliation to any set group mean God isn't even interested?

I'm a Christian really

I have no problems with the message of Christianity, especially the works of Christ

It's just difficult to uphold in this day and age
>>
>>2693840
It's like Kierkegaard said, being a Christian is extremely fucking hard and it has nothing to do with your era. It's relatively easy to stop indulging in buggery if you're attracted to men, but Christ teaches you shouldn't basically even THINK about sinning and should cut your cock off if your urges tempt you. Plus you need to get rid of your property, abandon your own family if they don't agree with your views, go out of your way to convert others even if they humiliate you and if you get attacked you have to override your preservation instinct knowing you will have a better life in heaven.

Never understood why people sperg the fuck out over creationism so hard.
If you're religious or any kind of deist it's not that difficult to square divine intervention with a scientific understanding of the world.
Some form of creationism just seems like the logical extension of religious belief, it's no better or worse than the ex nihilo big bang

I've read David Pearce's 'The Hedonistic Imperative'. It's free, I recommend it. It even deals with counter-arguments to extropianism at the end.

Why did nationalism only start appearing in the 1800s?
29 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
>>2693641
before that there was feudalism

after napoleon ended it, the masses could partake in ideologies that represented their interests, like nationalism

my guess
>>
>>2693641
Because it's an invention of bourgeois elites that wanted to get rid of aristocratic power.

Fighting for your king/religion was the norm then, plus if you dont understand the dialect of the village 10 km from yours, why would you feel conected ?
Then comes the french revolution who says that you are part of your country, equal among all its cityzens, you feel proud of their achievements and you get nationalism.

>anarcho-anything

How do anarchists of any type make sure states don't form after they destroy the state? What authority stops people from just making new governments or authorities?

It just seems like a fantasy ideology to me.

No need to destroy the state, in my individual anarchism I can use the system to my advantage while the average person is limited by morals and "right". if the state happens to fall so be it.

It's a complete meme just like any economic system that tries to limit the free market

Top 3 historical figures and why

3. Charles XII of Sweden.
Swedish Nationalism speaking, great leader.

2. Hannibal. Military genius, humiliated Rome in batte thrice before being fucked over by the Carthaginian senate, only then could Rome defeat him at Zama.
1. Napoléon. Military genius who conquered Europe. Only the Russian winter, starvation and disease could stop his army.

> Charles whatever. haven't heard of him so sure.
> Hannibal, a normie choice but he was pretty good I guess, benefited substantially from his opponents mistakes however.
>Napoleon, yeah can't complain

I'll go for one of each category

Military: Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Fredrick the great. Manstein, Rokkosovsky. Murphy if you want a common soldier. All of these are fine choices

Political: Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, FDR, Washington, Gandhi, Victoria, tons I missed out on here, don't get mad cos muh commies, they were hugely influential.

Cultural/other, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha etc. MLK, Shakespeare, Micheal jackson and jordon, Kurosawa and various sports people, entertainers and authors.

Some can cross over obviously but if you choose any of them you can't go wrong.

No particular order:

Cesare Borgia

Henry V of England

Julius Caesar

One of my neighbours talks a lot about how Lenin did nothing wrong and that Stalin is the one who made the bad decisions.

I don't really agree with him but I'd like to know what /his/ thinks. I'm sorry if this topic is too mundane.

Lenin crushed local workers' democracies and restored authoritarian rule.

As for whether he was a good guy in general, that gets into counterfactual history that we can't really accurately predict; all we know for sure is that the Soviet government he created was far better than the Tsarist government it replaced.

so i was listening to Come On Eileen while high and I suddenly got a strong urge to move to Ireland. Tell me the history of this beautiful nation-state (just clearing up I mean even before they separated from the UK, though that is a subject I don't know). I think they were christenized before England around the 500s, though maybe some Northumbrian kings had been baptised before that, right?
