Why is Socrates so important?
>>3031123
Because he fucked dudes, and the LGBTIQHJIDFBHS+whatever crowd wants to shill the few accomplished degenerates out there.
Because he taught Plato.
And then Plato taught Aristotle.
>>3031123
He was black
were the fasces always purely symbolic or did they ever have an actual; practical combat use?
>>3030941
I think it's always had symbolism but lictors did use them as actual weapons.
>>3030941
Yes, there is an actual practical use, it indicates fascist ideology consists of just a bundle of sticks and an edge.
>>3030974
sigh...

Is he right?
Are there any non-snake rulers?
Only amongst monarchs. All democratically elected leaders are snakes, because they actually sought out power.
>>3030914
Just choose the leader by rolling a dice then.
Because that's exactly what monarchies do, except with an absolutely retarded criterion called "blood".

>>not verbatim, but i'll get the idea across
>>>A man will assume a position of power in order to prevent evil men from doing so if it is found necessary.
>>>In this scenario there only exists evil men and other men, but the situation in reality is much more convoluted.

How did Nicholas II industrialize Russia at rates compared to Stalinist socialist plan without any gulags or fighting kulaks and all of other crucial and necessary for such task socialist policies?
>>3030495
Who knows, anon? But as as white woman thanks to Stalin I live in a world where I can express my sexual preferences.
>>3030495
>Nicholas had an industry compared to Stalin
>Somehow got BTFO by Germans anyways
>>3030495
foreign investments, notable that of France. France was giving a lot of money to build up railroads and industry in Russia to build up their ally. One of reasons that Germany wanted a war sooner than later was because of this build up.
What's the deal with this hat?
>>3030428
Hats cover the head so that the heat that usually escapes through the scalp is retained, thus warming the wearer and preventing excess loss of heat.

It's /effay/ as fuck.
Would modern feudalism work? (Old style feudalism, but in modern times and with current technology)
Why/why not?
?
Why would the Nobles wanna go back to that system when they actually had to put in work to retain their positions when today all they do is own large businesses while playing the stockmarket and mingle at private parties the peasants are unaware of while retaining their lands, positions and titles without fear of peasant revolutions?
The only one that was against them in modern times in Western Europe was Hitler but he was quickly delt with.
>>3030324
Look at ethopia arround 1970. And no our current system requires too much individuals to allow for nobles to control the power.
You can't have feudalism under a marked economy. You are also at risk at getting your shit kicked in, because you don't have a industrial maintained army.
What was the biggest turning point in US history that caused the greatest change and could of, if had gone another way, completely change the way we live now?
>>3029933
inb4 brainlets saying 9/11
>>3029933
The day Ellen Degeneres came out as an homosexual.
Truly the embodiment of America which shows its vast and rich culture and history since it was founded in ancient times less than 300 years ago.
An event that could rival the conquest of Alexander or the assassination of Julius Caesar.
G-d bless her for being what every American should strive to become.
>>3029986
I haven't seen you in a while, famalam. Where have you been.
Tell me about the Mixtecs /his/.
They were virtually the only MesoAmerican group that had female leaders.
>>3030157
The Maya had the Red Queen and that one from Naranjo. I recall Cortes also mentioning a female tlatoani in central mexico.
You may not like it, but this is what the most accurate medieval movie looks like

Why is /his/ so pleb?
>>3029172
Quality movies like this one should be enjoyed only in the highest quality possible, but it is not 100% necessary because the true strength of the film is in it's characters and story, not to mention the social commentary and brave tackling of racial and political issues.

Is Baathism basically Arab national socialism?
>against liberal capitalism, against Marxist (international) socialism, against reaction
>state socialist policies
>one party state/dictatorship
>ethnic nationalism with desire to unite all Arabs in one country
>hates jews and Israel
>>3028652
no because Baathism was socially, ethnically and religiously (as long as you weren't a fundie) tolerant.
>>3028813
Yep, never got used to gas a minority or anything like that..

Is he actually considered controversial or is it just a tankie meme?
>>3028623
He named the jew iirc that's why he's controversial to most people.
>>3028623
Meme. Varlam Shalamov is superior in every way.
>>3028623
Largely irrelevant and trying way too hard.
Why don't people specifically blame Americans with British, Dutch, Spanish, and African ancestry for slavery in the USA? Arguably no other ancestries in the USA owned slaves.
>>3028438
Anyone who blames a specific race for the entirety of slavery is a slobbering historically illiterate retard
>>3028438
you forgot jews
Because to a liberal the world can only be categorized in broad, simple terms. Anything else hurts their heads.
How could he have won this war? /his/.
Impossible
>>3028337
His main mistake was attacking USSR.
>>3028337
There is no way without enormously altering history as we know it, such as vastly increasing Germany's population and level of industrialization.
"Best" for Hitler would probably be to somehow re-arm without burning as many bridges as he did such that a limited war with a stable negotiated peace is possible, but I have no idea how to actually do that.
Theoretically, Operation Pike going forward and bringing the Soviets in on his side as a real ally could also theoretically work, but that is again unlikely, and furthermore, outside of his reach, it requires the British to be colossal dumbfucks and attack the USSR in 1940.
