The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon by Karl Marx.
>>
>>2462455
I've already read some Marx but he sounds like such an autist, is he as petty in this essay as in the others? I'm willing to give him a shot if he can prove to write a single non-retarded piece
>>
>>2462526
I don't know about his other writing, this is the first Marx I've read outside of the Communist Manifesto (which was pretty mediocre imo).
But The 18th is an amazing essay. He analyses the various fractions of revolutionary France and the way they interact with eachother, as well as their goals, aspirations, insecurities, etc. then examines how Napoleon was able to utilize them. It's loaded with witticisms and quotable lines, makes several very brilliant criticisms towards liberal democracy, republicanism, the various social classes, etc.
If for nothing else, the shear amount of readily quotable quips (man makes his own history, but doesn't choose the cloth from which its cut; first as a tragedy, then as a farce; etc.) make it worth reading.

Idolizing Napoleon I is a tragedy.
The farce is when you realize Napoleon III makes more sense.

It's because we are two.
You are aware of only one unrest;
Oh, never learn to know the other!
Two souls, alas, are dwelling in my breast,
And one is striving to forsake its brother.

Warfare today is just bombing and firepower. There's no strategy to it because half the issues that forced strategy are gone and now all American and European soldiers do is occupy land and root out guerillas. Warfare is too grand a name.

/int/pires, the spiritual successor to the /int/craft, is running it's combined 25th iteration this Friday on March 10th, 3:00EST. The server takes place in the early to mid 1600s. Custom guns, cannons, textures, melee weapons, and other miscellaneous plugins are included. The map used is a crop of Europe (including North Africa). Players will be provided one week to build up their glorious empire. After this, you can declare war on other nations.
If you're interested in historical roleplay, a gaming community of fellow 4chinners, using unique history-based weapons, or just playing some minerboy, try it out.
Nations which are currently claimed by players: England, France, Morocco, Spain, Brandenburg-Prussia, Hesse-Kassel, Savoy, Netherlands, Russia, the Palatinate, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Scotland, the Ottoman Empire, Austria, Barbary Pirates, and Venice
Any unnamed nations can be claimed, but you should also considering joining another nation so there aren't tons of small nations. With the type of PVP in this iteration, it will greatly benefit you to have enough players to man cannons, have a defensive pike line, have cavalry, etc. Map is a bit outdated, that'll be fixed tomorrow.
