Why are liberals so good at winning wars? They won the revolutionary wars in france and america, the 1848 protests, both world wars and the Cold War. The only exception I can think of is the Bolshevik revolution, but they had an extrodanarily incompetent administrator.

If you have freedom to criticize your superiors and not get arrested or shot over it, you can get rid of the problems in military logistics, strategy and tactics that are usually the small things that decide wars.

Conservatives can win revolutions too.

It worked during Reagan but hasn't since, the question is why and what changed to make this an impotent economic approach?

People only liked Reagan because he cut their taxes.

Solitude by Goethe
OH ye kindly nymphs, who dwell 'mongst the rocks and the thickets,
Grant unto each whatsoe'er he may in silence desire!
Comfort impart to the mourner, and give to the doubter instruction,
And let the lover rejoice, finding the bliss that he craves.
For from the gods ye received what they ever denied unto mortals,
Power to comfort and aid all who in you may confide.

think about it
I am not trolling, this isn't some attempt at a Wewuzian
but the Zulus were able to go toe to toe with the British Empire in the 19th century..They went up against people with guns, and although they lost in the end, they gave the Brits hell
doesn't this tell us they could of defeated the following:
>The Spartans
>Alexander's Macedonian army
>Rome

But then again, the British army was never exactly known for its quality (unless you're an uneducated normie), quite the contrary
It's the navy that made Britain's strength

In the past, during the French Revolution, people considered that mandatory conscription and wanting to bear weapons to defend the Homeland were virtues of a good democratic citizen. How come that now, most democratic countries reject mandatory conscription and the right to bear arms? What did happen during the last 200 years that now wanting to die for your Homeland to preserve its Liberty and Equality is seen as reactionary and bad?
Or, broadly speaking, how come we today dont promote the virtues of a Republican citizen, like Patriotism, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, the desire to break away the shackles of the past, an so on?

Most folks in France did not want to be conscripted. Conscription was a very big contributing factor in the civil war in the vendee.
The republican order of battle reflected this disparity between those who wanted to fight and those who did not, those who voluntarily enlisted were posted as skirmishers and light infantry, positions that required quite a bit of dedication but were actually a lot safer than standing in line with the regular conscripted infantry. You'd have dedicated revolutionaries in the line infantry, but not in the first rank.
