Which state in the Eastern Bloc was the most repressive? I'm not talking about which one was the wealthiest or the best/worst to live in, I mean which country was the worst in terms of sheer state sanctioned brutality.

Hey chinks and Sinoboos, I was wondering if you have any pictures of surviving Chinese armour.

I am under the assumption that hundreds of thousands of valuable artefacts have been entirely purged by Mao's Mango sprees. So it's quite hard for me to track down Chinese armour.

I can't read moonrune, either.

Anything before the Qing era would be very much appreciated.

I'm asking you a big favour so I will post interesting websites in return.

Why did America let it get so out of hand? Why did they keep letting Soviets gain more and more power and parity? What the fuck were they thinking? Yes, it worked out in the end, but only through sheer fucking luck. The USA gambled so many times and gave up so much relative power that it's mind boggling.

I've recently read and listened to this book and have found it extraordinarily interesting and useful in identifying some of my core issues that need to be fully acknowledged and actively worked on. What are some other books and/or lectures that discuss this subject in more detail? What work by Jung, in specific, would be best read to get the full background of this information?

I know JBP will probably come up so I will go ahead list him in the OP. I'm sure anyone with an interest in the human experience is familiar with him by now.
