Can we all agree that if the wellbeing of people is the highest priority, social market economy is the best system?
Amerifats will cry communism as soon as they hear anything with "social" in the name. Then get shot.

Genuinely curious: how did taxation begin in the first place?
Like how were ancients convinced to give part of their earnings to a state/polity entity - say the city state, the monarchic kingdom, whatever- with the sole justification of it being "we'll use it in good faith?" or something.

I would assume taxation originated as a protection money of sorts. Give me that and I'll protect your family and possessions from bandits, etc.

So the Villanovians (1200-700 bc) centered in Etruria belonged to the urnfield Italic stock, it's weird that Etrurians spoke a language isolated

>the theory about Etruscan being from Atlantis which was actually Sardinia
>>3196424
Where have you heard such a theory?
>>3196413
Etruscans came from Lemnos.
This has been proven by the genetic study on Mycenaean Greeks and Minoans.
Tuscans are a top sharing population with them despite having obvious Italo-Celtic celtic admixture.

Can we agree that for all their shortcomings, they managed to bring modern civilization to Chinese and Russian people?
>>3196378
They absolutely did, there isn't even a real argument against it at this point.
Hulking majority of Russian and Chinese populations lived in utterly dogshit conditions before Reds rocketed the HDI to high heavens compared to what it was, but bleeding heart pretend-empathy cunts can't accept that there is just no way to bring illiterate agrarian shitholes up to the living standard of countries that literally ruled the world, while those countries threw long under your feet every step of the way, in less than a century is a complete pipe dream.

shut up faggot, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan shows what exactly a liberal oriented economy can do for the people of their lands despite devestation.
If China had adopted that model it would have been as advanced as now back in 1980/1990. And through sheer economies of scale would be the most dominant economic power in the world at this point.

Why isnt Norway a part of the European Union?
Is it because of their free citizen tradition and that nobles never held much power in the past?
Is it because they have been in several unions before and have a historical memory of it as a bad thing?
Is it because they distrust germans?
or where they just always racist?

As much as Churchill was a bloodthirsty, drunk war criminal by commanding air strikes on innocent German children and women civilians at Dresden and at other towns, Hitler still showed humbleness and respect to him by referring him by "Mister". This shows the true character of Adolf Hitler, unlike the monster they make him out to be in propaganda movies created by the movie industry.
You can already tell this thread is going to be shilled the fuck out of by Harrisposters and other leftist or britbong shitposters.
>>3196028
Fun fact: The Nazis killed more German citizens (Jews, mentally ill, political opponents) than the air raids.
How many of the same people do you have to kill for it to be considered a genocide?
Were they Armenians? Not a genocide.
Were the victims white? Not a genocide.
Were the perpetrators brown or non-western? Not a genocide.
Were they black people getting shot by police? Quintessentially a genocide.

>>3196049
Any number.
It has to follow that criteria though
