No, it would lead to a civil war. Even the putchists realized that.

I'm listening Monteverdi's masterpiece, and what is considered by many the first opera ever written, l'Orfeo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBsXbn0clbU
Since Monteverdi's time many things have happened. Opera has seen it's apogee and decline. Today it is considered a niche genre, with a small but enthusiastic public.
The thing is, the majority of operas staged today is by composers from the 19th century and earlier.
Is it possible for opera to make a come back with new composers and new styles, not just a copy of the old ones? What would you suggest for a modern composer to captivate a generation of listeners that listen to music on YouTube and on their phones, are easily bored and have low attention spam, and the reason many even listen to music at all is because of the cultural stereotypes they wish to identify themselves with? Is it even possible?
Disclaimer: performing arts are humanities; therefore this is a humanitites thread.

Post your favorite historical uniforms or general garments from certain cultures.
My favorite historical garments/uniforms would have to be everything the Armenians ever wore.

Who was right?
I'm going with Hobbes, though I don't like his solutions of absolute monarchical control, I share his cynicism.

Hobbes clearly makes stonger arguments and is the superior philosophy but Loke has made more of an influence on Western/Anglo political thinking and practice

OUTTA MY WAY GERMANIC FUCKING SHITS
excluding the meme just how well trained/equipped was the average soviet soldier?

By ww2 standards pretty average
>>
training would vary throughout the war - on average less trained than the early-mid war german soldier, but better trained than late war germans
the same more or less goes for equipment, contrary to the idea presented by the documentary 'enemy at the gates', the soviets were fairly well equipped in terms of firearms
the cases of insufficient guns are in highly specific circumstances such as individual small units encircled during the debacle of barbarossa or civilians with hand me down and insufficient equipment pressed into service in dire straits in early stalingrad
the above also applies not only to firearms but other equipment such as winter clothing or camouflage tools, both of which were generally available in much larger quantities than the germans had
last but not least, food - early on it was a mixed bag at best, not in terms of quality but rather availability of proper rations that would last in battlefield conditions, however, with american shipments ramping up from 1943 onwards, that too was smoothed out
tl;dr well enough

It's the most visible thing, as we don't have detailed biographies of each persons' life,
nor very much demographical data to go on for earlier civilizations.

History is about various individuals and groups trying to gain power over other individuals and groups, war and money are jist means to an end.
