Will we ever get real communism?
Marx predicted it would happen after we got real capitalism.
Communism doesn't work.
>>2604562
Thank fuck Marx was not right about a single thing.
We will when we convince over 50% of people to vote for communist parties.
It's going to take a while but we are up to 2-3% where I am from.
But I have hope that the whole "robots taking our jerbs" thing will bump that percentage up.
In the thread about the problem of evil a week or two ago a couple of anons would bring up theodicies by Augustine and Irenaeus. Some guys in the thread said that what Augustine and Irenaeus done was blasphemy. Do they mean re-interpreting the bible into your own meaning and not taking it as the word of God? This would have massive implications when you think about it only fundamentalists Christians would be non-blasphemers.
>>2604541
Fundamentalist Christians are the most blasphemous if you go by the standard of re-interpreting the bible into your own meaning.
>>2604544
Really? How come? Does a fundamentalist Christian not just interpret the Bible literally and stick to all the moral absolutes.
>>2604557
Not him, but of course not. If you stick to a literal interpretation of the bible, you can't really believei n Christianity at all, as literally interpreting the Old Testament would involve literally interpreting things like "Don't listen to guys like Jesus" and "you don't actually need to do anything other than pray to be forgiven by God"
He mentioned this in Mein Kaumf. I know that someone was occupying one of their major ports. Was the british navy running a blockade or collecting trade tariffs or something?
>>2604495
herro?
not trying to create a controversy, just want to know.
(we are just busting your balls asians, we know you mean "hello")
>>2604495
I think he meant more figuratively than anything, since Germany was not allowed to have a navy due to the treaty of Versais and was getting screwed regarding overseas trade.
>>2604495
Hitler? Say something that was completely unrelated to reality? NO FUCKING WAY!
Is biological determinism a valid theory for explaining observed material differences between nations and ethnicities throughout history? Can racial IQ gaps be entirely or mostly attributed to molecular factors? How much can psychometric differences between racial groups be accounted for by differences in culture, pollution, socioeconomic status, etc.?
Also, does the Flynn effect say anything substantive about the heredity of intelligence?
>>2604426
>Is biological determinism a valid theory for explaining observed material differences between nations and ethnicities throughout history?
Not enough evidence to say one way or another. There's so many factors that play into intelligence that nobody can reasonably, definitively say that it's true, and yet the mere existence of that correlation does make it a possibility.
On the practical side of things, why does it matter? Yes, a purely statistical analysis of demographic groups may be good on the larger scale, but those analyses should be examining the immediate reality of the situation and not some long-term theory.
>>2604426
Probably has a ton of weight on how people will do in life (and how they will do that).
I'm not a big Eugenics person though. I think people being different is fine.
When I was a kid there was a big controversy over a couple of essays written by students in regards to world war two, and everybody was exhausted after that and I couldn't retain any information regarding the Ottomans.
Basically I just have a few questions:
Who were they, ethnically?
What was their religion?
Who came before them?
Who came after?
Whose ass did they kick?
Who kicked their ass?
Did the islamic empire come before or after?
What about the Turkish empire? How did it relate to them?
>>2604334
C'mon guys, the wiki article is too dense, I just need a summary so I can fill in the blanks in my world history knowledge.
>>2604334
The ottomans got btfo at the end of ww1. Not quite sure how there can be a "controversy around them in ww2" since they didnt fucking exist anymore.
>>2604393
no, i mean we had to study the ottomans after ww2 and the essay controversy, and we were so sick of people coming in with their parents and shit that nobody was really able to pay attention

What do I start with to understand his philosophy?
>>2604299
Just read the Wikipedia page about him and then declare yourself an expert on the Internet.
>>2604299
>understand his philosophy
you've already failed
>>2604394
See, the Wikipedia page will do fine, then read something else.
Are Afghans considered 'Persian?' I know very little about this, and being Afghan myself I would like to know more. My dad says we are not Persian and that any Afghan who identifies as Persian is ashamed an post-9/11 society (even though the hijackers were Saudis).Getting a bit off-topic, but anyways I question the validity of that statement just based on the few things I've seen on this board.
Was Afghanistan historically part of Persia? I know Afghans and Iranians are considered Aryan, but ignoring that are there any major ethnic/racial differences?
t. burger curious about his heritage
Tajik if anybody is wondering. Thanks.
>>2604230
Afghans are of many ethnicities, most of them considered Iranian. Tajiks are considered an Iranian people. Persian refers to a specific ethnicity of Iranian people. The region that's currently Afghanistan was part of many states that were either directly Iranian or Persianate. Persianate refers to rulers of Turkic or Turco-Mongol origin that embraced Islamic Iranian culture.

Afghanistan is a bowl of genetic fuckery.

Was he responsible for any actual heinous warcrimes or was he a good guy put into a bad situation?
>war

This meme has to end. It's neutered modern warfare until no one ever actually had a decisive victory anymore
Greatest military forces the planet has ever seen regulated and handicapped by bleeding heart pussies
He stopped Communism which makes him a good guy in my eyes. I hate the term 'war crime' because obviously you will have civilian deaths during bombings and all that.
Just some gas in Ethiopia. That's it.
He had no business joining the war.

Why was Pakistan created if Muslims still live in India?
So that a bunch of urdu speaking mujahirs could LARP as descendents of the prophet, Persian, and white.
>>2604008
It was only created to give Muslims a power base.
The Muslims never intended to let the Hindus, Sikhs, etc. live in peace.
Just like how Bosnians and Kosovars immigrate back into Serbia.
>>2604046
To be fair it was far more complex than that. The language issue ended up tearing pakistan a new one - quite literally.
