Cultural relativism does not mean nothing is good or bad, it just means looking at events in their own context.

When the Natives ambushed the Norsemen, a pregnant woman managed to scare off the Natives by picking up a sword and struck her breasts with it, which made the Natives flee out of fear

From a capitalist point of view, both are in the wrong for not finishing the job and just reduce one side to rubble.

Both are in the right because more dead commies! XD

switch Cortez and Hannibal

>>3150362
Augustus was not really a conqueror, but he was an exceptional ruler.

>>3152387
Cortes should be upgraded, not switched with Hannibal. Cortes was a great leader, but smallpox did most of the work.

He's the token black of conservative economists.

all three were/are shitheads. in kim il-sung's case, a lot can be blamed on the russians enabling him in many regards, and in turn one can also blame him for leaving the country in so shit a state. as much as a nutbar as his son, kim jong-il was, he played his bum hand decently. in terms of foreign policy anyways, he still had the same hard-on for command economics that his father had

>>3151286
Kim Jon Il was in charge when North Korea really went to shit.

It went to shit because the Soviets stopped existing and propping them up. Just like with many communist nations through out the world in the 90s.

instead of economic reforms like China or revolution leading to a representative republic. Kim Jong-il decided to build a nuclear weapons program and black mail the world into giving him aid. Which President Clinton did.

>>3150271
Kind of like Korea's Mao but he lived 20 years longer

hey guys I have an idea to empty out guantanamo

On full armor like pic related it would be either two autist trying to stab through the gaps on the armor which is pretty boring OR would be a bunch of autist with blunt weapons like pikes and maces brutally hitting each other in a manslaughter.
Oh I just opened the video and yeah exactly like in your vid but of course people would get skull fractures and pretty bad wounds.

Would you consider the last shah a competent leader? Why/why not.

>>3150219

I would not consider him a competent leader for several reasons. Firstly, he was out of touch with the average Iranian and their plight; while the Shah was throwing extravagant parties feeding pheasant to foreign officials in Persepolis, the average Iranian was struggling to make ends meet. It was only towards the beginning of the revolution that the Shah realized his mistake, but by then it was too late. Moreover, much of his early rulership is characterized by weakness, allowing the US and Britain to almost dictate policies for the Shah to follow. Furthermore, he had a habit of micromanaging events within the country, and not allowing talented statesmen assuming greater power.

However, we sometimes give him too much flack, IMO. Iran's situation through the 40s-70s was a perilous one, where the USSR at one point occupied Iranian territory, and Pan-Arabism was on the rise in the Middle East. It was therefore natural for the Shah to seek partners in the west. So I wouldn't consider him a "stooge", at least since the 70s onward.

>>3150253
Thank you very much. Do you have any books to recommend? I know very little about Iran's history.
Another question:
Is Iran a regional power? Do you believe it can become the leader in the area? If so, how? I assume Saudi Arabia is their major rival.

Greece becoming a center of Mediterrranean commerce and technology to the point it could support a large navy and heavy infantry like the hoplites was the turning point. The invasion by Persia demonstrated that Greece was different from the other ancient civilizations.

>>3150160
Yes, the story of Themistocles out smarting the Persians at the Battle of Marathon was a defining moment for western civilization, especially for the populist pro democratic tendencies of what is considered "western civilization"

>>3150214
>>3150172

You're both making the same mistake -- assuming Greece was a unified state and not a bunch of city-states that greatly differed in terms of governance. Athens saw a rise in status in power after the Persian Wars, only for it to get BTFO by Sparta. In the long term, Athenian """democracy""" died and Greece was ruled by monarchs for thousands of years.

It's western romanticism to view the Persian Wars as one between democracy and eastern slavery and tyranny. Mardonius ousted the Greek tyrants in Anatolia and established democracy. The Achaemenids were renowned for their respect for local traditions and gave its subjects autonomy, so long as they remained loyal to the king.

Not a Marxist but they would consider shareholding being bourgeois, because you're making money off of their labor in a disproportionate and unfair way

>>3150067
I'm not remotely a Marxist or Communist or left-wing, I'm pretty hard right, but at what point you thought a CEO of a major company isn't getting shares as part of their package I don't know.

Fuck off and stop making us look stupid with non-factual scenarios, moron.

>>3150093
But the CEO isn't bourgeois, he doesn't OWN the means of production. He's just employed by the people who do (company shareholders).
>In Marxist theory, the proletariat is the social class that does not have ownership of the means of production and whose only means of subsistence is to sell their labor power for a wage or salary. Proletarians are wage-workers, while some refer to those who receive salaries as the salariat. For Marx, however, wage labor may involve getting a salary rather than a wage per se.

>>3150117
He doesn't have to. Adam Silver who earns 10 million a year as the NBA commissioner doesn't own a single share in any NBA team, he's just an employee employed by the team owners.

>>3150023
Well according to the logic and reasoning based on older greek philosophy, there can only be one transcendental first cause of all things.

Early Christians that the other "gods" of the pantheons existed, but weren't worthy of worship or were powerful demons. Nowadays people like to refuse the idea of any other god because I guess they dont want to give the heathens an inch?

Otherwise they would be monolatric retard

>>3150023
Because they're brainlets that don't want to devote their limited thinking power into remembering more than one deity.

>>3150020
The world would be a better place.

>>3150020
put it to rest hans, the schlieffenplan was doomed from the start

>>3150020

They would have imposed peace conditions even more crippling than the Treaty of Versaille, potentially leading to the rise of far-right leaders in Britain, France, and elsewhere. Then again, the British and French are not as retarded as the Germans, so that probably wouldn't have happened.
