because it goes by the assumption of the guilty until proveb innocent which is agaisnt the ethics of our justice system, hence people oppose this contradiction

The power of surveillance inevitably is a corrupting factor and not a moral force for good. It caters to citizens seeking to turn on their neighbors and destroys any sense of sanctity for the individual.

Fuck off, comrade.

It would work with minimal murder and rape if there are only 20 people in it, but I can't be sure.

If you had like 200 skilled workers in a very fertile island, with a very rich mineral supply, cut off from external interference, sheltered from any and all natural disasters, it could last for a few generations before inbreeding became too extreme or a state-like bureaucratic machine emerged to regulate the production which would increase with the population of workers.

They are non sentient beings that we will ensure do not fall victim to natural selection.

I love meat as much as the next guy but when I think about it it truly is unsettling that we raise an entire species with the sole intention of eating them on an industrial scale.

Oh well tis life.

I love eating meat too, but at the same time I believe animals deserve to at least die with some form of dignity.

There were Numidian auxiliaries and at one time I believe that a legion was raised in Numidia itself but I find it highly doubtful any subsaharans were legionnaires, except in extreme circumstances

This. It really depends whether you consider Nubians and Ethiopians to be "black. There were unlikely to be any negroids, save possibly a literal handful of exotic slaves.

The idea that human nature is good stretches back to Plato and Aristotle, who argued that human nature is social and people tend to get along with each other. Science supports this viewpoints with studies that show that young children empathize with others who are in distress, suggesting that they were born with a concern for others.

St. Augustine argued the opposite, that human nature is sinful, violent and greedy. Scientists like Richard Dawkins seem to agree with him, arguing that humans evolved to be selfish because this is the only way that natural selection could have worked.

He meant that despite the massive intellectual feat that Marx's Capital represents, the Marxian contribution to economics can be readily summarized as virtually zero. Professional economics as it exists today reflects no indication that Karl Marx ever existed. This neither denies nor denigrates Capital as an intellectual achievement, and perhaps in its way the culmination of classical economics. But the development of modern economics had simply ignored Marx. Even economists who are Marxists typically utilize a set of analytical tools to which Marx contributed nothing, and have recourse to Marx only for ideological, political, or historical purposes.

Almost everything he wanted - minimum wage, work place standard, maternity leave, equal opportunity for the genders, retirement funds, labor unions, etc, almost all of it was implemented.

Only his most extreme suggestions weren't.

>>2144831
Not economics largely, that's mainly political. Him wanting those things is him not contributing anything to the field of economics

also:

>"However, the democratic petty bourgeois want better wages and security for the workers, and hope to achieve this by an extension of state employment and by welfare measures; in short, they hope to bribe the workers with a more or less disguised form of alms and to break their revolutionary strength by temporarily rendering their situation tolerable."

>Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain!

Not exactly a false flag, but it was most likely an unfortunate accident that was gleefully exploited to further press for war against Spain.

Well all best knowledge and that court hearing suggest the Reichstag Fire was genuine, although I have always had doubts but the evidence is the evidence.

Also, this one is also nice. It's a short summary.

Joke of Europe which did nothing noteworthy in it's entire history.

/his/ hates him because he didn't do any original research of his own, and offered a trite pop history version of events to appeal to normies.

/pol/ hates him because he disagrees with their preferred "because they were niggers" explanation of history.

>>2150974
>and offered a trite pop history version of events to appeal to normies.

But was he lying about the facts or did he simplify the events?
If it's the second then it doesn't sound too bad. Kinda like a Michael Stevens but for history.

>>2150998
Not him but there's many inconsistencies in Guns, Germs, and Steel.

For example, in the epilogue he totally disregards the various Islamic empires in the Fertile Crescent.

It's important to remember tho, you're reading a book based on history and sociology, written by a biologist/ecologist. It's a no-brainer as to why environmental determinism is a meme.

>Why did they tolerate this living disease as long as they did?
Because the single fucking thing he got right was being ruthless enough to ensure everyone was terrified of him, and paranoid of each other.

There has to be more than that. I refuse to beleive the entire party was a bunch of spineless cucks too afraid of death to assasinate him.

Wages and their value were relatively stable in the Stalin years. Despite collectivization, agriculture more or less stabilized for him in the post war years.

Among the rank and file and soviet citizens, the purges were actually pretty popular.
It of course wasn't nice to be on the receiving end, but if you and your mates didn't like a guy because he was the laziest labourer in the mine and grumbled too much about his party duties it was pretty easy to denounce him. I mean, I don't fancy the idea of having people offed for being mildly annoying, but hey the past is a foreign country, they do things differently.
