How did Egypt become Arab, but Iran didn't?
33 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
They feared the Persian warrior.
>>
>>3047350

Egyptian is closely related to Arabic, Persian isn't. Also Egyptians do not consider themselves to be Arabic, they call themselves Misri which is an ancient term for their country.
>>
>>3047350

To put it simply, Egypt was ruled by foreigners for the better part of their history -- the Persians, Greeks, and Romans ruled Egypt for centuries. They thus lacked a sense of national identity, unlike Iran, which briefly fell to the Macedonians, only to be ruled by indigenous Iranians for nearly 1000 years. Their culture was thus deeply rooted and managed to survive whatever onslaughts were thrown their way.

Obviously there were, if you look at how various "communists" set up their governments and ran their countries, and compare it to Marx's work.

Yes and no. There is "surplus value" in any voluntary economic exchange. But that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
>>
>>3046973
No. Capitalists are rich because they organize a large amount of labor at once and channel it towards a larger productive endeavor, assuming the risk if the venture fails. Marx literally never thought past the act of priducing the abstract good itself because he never actually worked.

Is there any way to correctly measure just how many people would've died in a full-scale nuclear war between NATO and the USSR/China and the height of the cold war? I know a lot of people automatically assume everyone would just die, but realistically that's not the case. Say in the first 100 days, how many people would likely have died? If all nukes were launched at the height of the Cold War?

I'd assume it'd be somewhere in the billions? Or would it only be in the 100's of millions?

This is also just the nuclear war. Not including the full-scale conventional war that would take place with Warsaw vs. NATO, after the bombs were dropped.

That could mean either 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis) or 1983 (Able Archer 83, Stanislav Petrov Incident). Which are you more concerned with?

He was also a WeWuzkangz guy

"It is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes who had joined Moses’ exodus from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother on the paternal side had not interbred with a n—–. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product."
>>
Sure.

He even took the concept of class struggle from the concept of race struggle which was prevalent during his time.
>>
he was also racist towards Mexicans

"Without violence, nothing is ever accomplished in history.” But then he asks, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”"

Why does it seem like Rome fanboys are actually fascists and hate republicanism?

Because they're plebs that idolize the empire and not the republic.

we're not.

When you study the Republic long enough to begin to understand why it fell.

You understand that the government had been taken over by conservatives who had literally hunted down and murdered all of the progressives, who looked the other way as the Roman aristocracy was given free reign to pillage and lot the plebs.

Julius Caesar represents the last great attempt to reform the system from within. When the conservatives assassinated him they thought that by removing the tyrant they would be restoring Rome to a state more attune with natural law. What they actually did was spark a nationalist uprising as people's faith in the public government had been shattered, and people threw their lot in with the military as it ran the conservatives out of town and hunted them down like dogs

The power vacuum created by the assassination of Julius Caesar was filled with the most ruthless man in Rome, Caesar's heir, Octavian, who lacked his predecessors sense of clemency and cooperation with his enemies: he crushed his enemies and permanently rebuilt Roman government as a democratic facade hiding a naked authoritarianism. He also greatly expanded the role of the government, instituting sorely needed reform. However like everything that was Roman politics it was a half baked political compromise: the aristocrats became a permanently entrenched minority owning vast estates, plebs got their welfare state, and most of the actual work was done by slaves and disenfranchised second class citizens, and it was all paid for through continuous infusions of foreign capital in the form of conquest boot. By freely wielding the power of the Roman government, un-tethered from the whims of stingy, finger-wagging conservatives, Augustus made investments in the public infrastructure which would pay off dividends for its citizens for many years, improving their lives and allowing for an unprecedented era of peace and ideas-exchange
