Which knightly order is the coolest?
Were they just clubs for nobility to pretend to be important and manly?
If knights got captured in battle and awaited ransom, were they treated well by their captors or were they just tossed in the dungeon?

Frogs and Anglos when they captured each other would treat each other the same as anyone else, because of the brotherhood of chivalry. This is how Enguerrand de Coucy who was sent to England as a hostage was able to become son in law to the King.

Germans had a reputation as keeping their captives in chains and not feeding them in order to increase the ransom payments.

> Which knightly order is the coolest?

The Hospitaller obviously.

They rek'd so many Turkish anuses even the primary sources are at a loss;

"In 1279, 200 horsemen from the garrison of Margat used this tactic against the 5000 Muslims who were trying to prevent them from ravaging the neighborhood of Crac des Chevaliers. The Hospitallers, knowing it would be suicidal for them to confront this force in the open, therefore allowed themselves to be chased until they had almost reached Margat itself before turning on the Muslims and routing them with the loss of only one mounted sergeant." - Unknown Crusader Castles, page 72, Kristian Molin

will someone who knows a thing or two tell me why communism doesn't work?

>>2526420

Communism purports to be a totally scientific, economically based system of how classes interact and the necessary political pressures that they put upon each other, which inevitably leads from a capitalist society to a socialist and eventually to a communist society. Most of these principles and analysis is laid out in Das Kaptial.

Unfortunately, Das Kapital is a load of horseshit, and uses incredibly bad economics to "prove" its points, and almost the entire theoretical framework for this inevitable socialist takeover is based on bad math or bad assumptions. Also, despite their actions being necessary for the entire framework of Communist thought, you never really get a rigorous definition of social classes like "Aristocracy" or "Bourgeoisie" or "Proletariat", in the sense that while they are defined, there's no real reason given for why classes should be analyzed along those breakdown lines and not others, and starts to run into problems when these huge, ponderous "classes" actually contain numerous sub-groupings which don't have the same economic interests.

The easiest way to tell if someone has read capital is see how they name it
If das kapital, they have not read it.

Define those.

Where did the ''Romans were shit at 1v1'' meme came from? First of all why would that even matter? Since when battles are boxing matches? Second - do we have any proof?

My other question is - why Romans stopped using tight formations later on?
32 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
Romans weren't trained to fight 1v 1 but rather in formation. This had a mix of positive and negative results in battle.
>>
>>2526333
And who was trained for 1v1 battle? Where is this legendary culture of duelists?
>>
>>2526325

Everything must be balanced and equal, so when Romans have superior disciplened formation, barbarians must be bulky stronk giants superiour at chaotic 1 on 1 fighting.

Could Roman Empire be considered a warrior society?

No, while the military was an important aspect of Roman society the social classes were patrician and plebians
>>
>>2526289
The Jews were also an important and unique part of Roman society, and they were the only group whom the Romans failed to convert and eventually gave up trying.
>>
Not really. And certainly not after Marius' reforms, which basically allowed any free subject of Rome to join the mighty army.

So, communism/marxism is dead, right?

The only people that still call themselves 'communist' are dorky, fat, white people living in the west with affluent upbringings looking to rebel against their 20th cent. parents because they haven't grown out of teenage angst yet.

Was Žižek right when he said: "First as tragedy, then as farce?"

>Because real people aren't calling themselves Marxists means Marxism is dead

The concept of Marxism and Marxist revolution still exists and will exist as long as capitalism exists, frankly in the West a Marxist revolution won't happen if the masses are aware what they're creating is Marxism, the Soviet Union stole that word and turned it into something that scares Americans.

They'll call it something else, it'll be workers owning the means of production and working collectively to run a more fair and democratic economy. In the end dialectical materialism and historical materialism are the major drivers of history and the synthesis is never going to be "The wealthy minority finds a way to stay in power forever."

Let the pink haired Liberals wear red in their 20s. Don't think just because the Soviet Union fell the natural progression of history and class conflict forever went away.

When the inner cities started to deindustrialize in the 70s, what happened? Blacks couldn't find work, drugs moved in in a big way, families disintegrated, etc. And people on the right were all like, it's their own fault, niggers gonna nig, lock em the fuck up, etc. Now blue collar work is moving overseas, white man can't find a job, drugso are moving in in a big way, it's white families falling apart. But now, whites are victims, we need to bring back jobs, they need treatment, not jail, etc.

That's the difference between being 70% of the population and being 12% of the population.

Also it doesn't help that there was already an inherent resentment towards the city and people in the city in the 70s and 80s.

Which also came around just in time to replace the straight up "niggers" racism. So they went from uppity niggers to jobless ghetto thugs fairly seamlessly.

We look at the animal kingdom and make theories about the hierarchy of animals in the jungle, the way parasites infest the body of a host, how the females attract the males in mating seasons...

But we are so far up our own asses that we can't for a second look at humanity and try to explain it in the same way.

We have to add grandeur through spirituality, religion... anything to give us a purpose other than procreation, to inflate our worth on this planet.

Now I understand some may want to surpass the point of animal and transcend into higher beings, but it's ridiculous to think you can just ignore the billions of years that brought you to your current state because you suddenly feel like "all races are equals in all aspects of life" and "women can be men and men can be women".

We even make comment on historical nations as though they different species but why not ourselves?

I can't understand how you correlate gender and race equality to the rest of your argument
>>
>>2525975

Darwinism implies natural selection, as long as we keep reproducing we're evolving, but we can also evolve as a group, i.e. it doesn't mean we can't have empathy, help others who are less fortunate than us, even though it may be better off for our gene pool to just eradicate them. A group with a strong sense of unity beats one that may be physically superior, and thus survives longest.
