Last time I'm taking advice from a homosexual.

Why Islam and not Christianity or Judaism? Hell, why not Scientology or Mormonism, the usual religious laughingstocks? Because Islam has a lot of negative connotations attached to it in the Western world. Obviously he's not going to appreciate you limping him in with them so you can disregard his opinions on the basis that ISIS is evil and therefore Marxism is as well.
Political Islam, Islamism, is the same as any ism. Ideology is a hell of a drug.
>>2773269
Marxists, like almost all ideologies, have a shitty track record as it is though, without the supposed "insult" of being called a religion.
What country has the coolest history and why is it this one?
Top Tier history for sure. Have you read of prophet Muhammad's short time there in exile? Our ancestors are from the foothills of that region. Times of wealth and prosperity and times of great poverty. Just a rich well documented history in general. It's nice we have access to it in ways we don't to the Gauls, Inca, and other societies where records are lacking.
>>2773238
Humans originated there.

The intro makes me think of Victorian London. I probably heard something similar in a movie that takes place there only more lazy.

Why was stoning a punishment in ancient ME? And still is today in some muslim countries. It just seems to barbaric to use as a punishment
>>2772964
My theory is because its a group activity.
>>2772968
This probably. People loved watching executions, so getting to participate is that much better.
>>2772991
I mean life was fucking boring back then. It was the highlight of the week to get to stone someone. People probably spent the entire week looking for the perfect stones.

Extreme regret that he did not smother Wilhelm in his sleep as a boy.
What do you think was the point of no return for the Roman Republic? Where would you say either the economical, political or social situation was such that the death of the Republic as such and the rise of the Empire was more or less unstopable, if ever? The Marian reforms? The huge input of slaves from the Punic wars and those that follow? Was there a chance for a stable Republic even at Philippi?
I know it's a vague question, but I'm interested in this more or less in the same way people wonder about the eventual decline of the Empire.
>>2772911
It became inevitable as soon as the Second Punic War ended.

Hasn't heard of the Grachhi obviously

>Hasn't heard of the Grachhi obviously
Who the hell hasn't heard of the Gracchi? It's a cliché.
fuck, sorry for that name, i forgot to remove it
>>2772869
It wasn't that fast? You have to understand that even places that were nominally christian still had the old beliefs being practiced in secret or even sometimes openly.
>>2772886
I know about this, but there werent any religious uprisings as i know, except for Baltics. Also what about Muslim conquest of Persia.
So what about this guy is all that important? Is he just some far left guerrilla fighter, because what i read it just seems like that's all he was, as well as a ""human rights"" speaker, even though he was part of the Cuban Communist revolution and supported the Soviet Union it seemed.
Why is he considered such a influential person in history, South America, realistically is not the much of an important continent. The only country that even went full commie in the first was place was Cuba, so did he only have on real success? A success that nearly led to the extinction of the human race. I just don't get what's so important about him.
He's considered a martyr for liberation groups in central and south america, especially given that the south is still being impacted by the effects of the cold war to this day.
He's more of a figurehead than anything although he led a bunch of revolts down there.
he looks pretty
Last romantic professional revolutionary, like Garibaldi, Mierosławski, Waryński. Had limited success and good looks plus a nice photo. Essentially Big Boss
Was Africa as developped as Europe in the 16th century?
Which part of Europe?
Which part of Africa?
Eg Ethiopia or Kongo were probably more "advanced" (whatever the fuck that means) than Ireland or Lapland, Spain or France were probably more advanced than the bumfuck tribes who populated Central and Southern Africa
>>2772584
Africa was more developed than Europe until the 19th century when the white man stole Africa from us.
THE EARLY MEDIEVAL PERIOD HAS BEGUN.
There's dozens of different tribes/kingdoms/empires to choose from, so pick one and lets get started. I'm taking the Norsemen (Norway), all others are up for grabs.
I'll start when 5-10 or more have joined the game.

I see a lot of people saying that the French Revolution was one of the worst things to happen to Western Civilization. I've begun reading Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution but it's a slog.
Can anyone explain why people think the Revolution was so bad?
>>2772558
Watch the 1989 movie if you don't want to read. It's ob youtube.
Instead of a peaceful transition to constitutional monarchy it became a tyranny with many counterrevolutions throughout the 19th century. They went back to when they started many times. The revolution was a failure.
>>2772558
The ideals of the Revolution are what modern society is based on, and even though it devolved into an autocracy, said autocrat (Napoleon) spread this modern thinking around all Europe. In the short term, for the French people, it failed, but in the long term, for the world as a whole, it has been a massive success, and arguably one of the most important events in history.
I think the reason people don't like it, is that we have a lot of monarchists here (who'd obviously be opposed to tearing down traditions and instituting republics) and because of general ignorance on the subject.
How could life for the average person in "western civilization" possibly have it worse, than a peasant in renaissance Germany? It is nostalgia for what one has never, and will never experience.
>>2772558
Also, read Evola.
It's basically the point of no return of western civilization. It's when ideas about justice and law being the result of an agreement between citizens rather than absolutes started to emerge. This tended to spread even more ideas that justice and goodness are relative - leading to modern times.
Good guys lmao
Wtf I love nazis now

>Where's the pic and bubbles for the bad guys? XD
You just see this or maybe you are under impression that team with Stalin in it and his cripple bootlicker are the good guys? lmao
Was Stalin a "great" leader?
in the ancient sense of the word, of course
>>2772444
the greatest there has been after Napoleon. He's the most important figure of the 20th century in my opinion.
not that I like the man or what he did. Most of the world would have been better without him. but he did achieve more than any other leader in recent history and i admire him for that.
>>2772444
Stalin would be history footnote without his greatest lackey
What would the German forest look like when the Romans first marched into it compared to today?
>>2772382
Caesar describes the geography and culture of Germania in the Gallic wars.
Northern Europe looked more like Yukon or Siberia does now. Thick taiga forest.
