Is there any hope for communism without a large societal mindset change? Or is it too ingrained as purely "theoretical"?
Asking for a friend
If I roll dubs op kills himself
>"Is there any hope for communism without a large societal mindset change?"

This board keeps getting dumber and dumber.

That "societal mindset" has been engraved in humans' brains hundreds of thousands years ago. Good luck changing that, teen commie retard.
OC btw

Are you counting the childrens crusade?
Could some of the more people here with knowledge of Buddhism answer a question for me?
I don't understand why paranirvana should be the desired goal, especially since Buddhism - unlike Hinduism and Jainism - does not believe in an eternal and underlying soul/self (atman) that literally is at the core of each individual and is transferred during the cycles of rebirth. In Buddhism, the aggregates that comprise an 'individual' are all reactions to the external stimuli of samsara: the 'individual' ceases to exist completely upon death, and reincarnation is only the awakening of 'individuality' (awareness/sentience) in a new being. So since the supposed Self ceases to exist after death, why is paranirvana - the snuffing out of this Self that will cease to exist upon death anyways - so desired?
Because it ensures that rebirth and samsara ends, thus there will be no more suffering, which is the fourth noble truth. The Buddha said that he only teaches two things: suffering, and the end of suffering.
>>1824991
But suffering ends with death, because Buddhism holds that there is no essence (atman) that 'moves on' to be reincarnated (which is what Jains and Hindus believe, and which is why they espouse liberation).
Buddhism rejects this. Upon dying, the individual ceases to be.

Makes sense all things considered.

I can't understand this, why would the Persians lose a battle and say "well, guess we lose all our territory within a thousand mile radius." No other war in history has been like this, even the Mongols had to win several battles in order to subjugate a place, but Alexander just won a battle and with is humongous amounts of territory.
Shit had a centralized government.
Cut off the head and everyone else plays ball.
And let's not forget the fact that he married into their royal family and was seen as a better son by the previous rulers mother than Darius III ever was to her.

>centralized government
Srsly tho.
Lopped the head off a highly centralized empire and took over its' already existing institutions intact.
Imagine there are only two countries
>country A and country B
>country A is Free Market Direct Democracy
>country B is Communist State
>country A is the biggest producer of food
>country B has a shortage
So, if country B produces goods to trade for food is in fact the whole State working for foreign capitalists that sell said food?
Is it mandatory then that country B doesn't trade with A so that the labour doesn't go to capitalists or invade A so that all means of production are controlled by the workers?
How would communists justify destroying country's A direct democracy as worse than communism?
Communism is a shitload of different Variants, the answer depends on the kind of commies you got.
Oldschool marxists would Just wait for the other country to collapse
Trotzkyists would be obligated to work towards the revolution in the other country.
Stalinists would trade or Go to war, according to the Situation
Maoists would do some dumb shit and provoke unprecedented starvation and bloodshed
>>1824716
>Oldschool marxists would Just wait for the other country to collapse
>wait for the other country to collapse
would never happen
>>1824719
It's what Marx thought, that capitalism ia just a stage towards communism.
He also expected communism is germany, England or another similar country... Not in shitholes that don't even have a Proletariat
What the fuck was both of those people's problem?

What weapon was this? Was it effective or was the dude just a madman?
Also bizarre weapons thread
Internet says it's a "lantern shield", not really used for combat but rather in fencing duels or just to protect yourself from criminals when walking at night in the streets.
But the article starts with "After the Dark Ages the world was thrust into a two hundred year period of incredible creativity and growth called “The Renaissance” ", so not too sure about how much credit I should give
It looks just like an oversized shoulder guard to me
>>1824469
Indian shield + Pata combination
You can tell from the armor and helm style its probably a sketch of an emgagement between hindus
The Hindus have been know to make some fun and interesting weapons

What really happened in the concentration camps?
Millions upon millions of jews were murdered and turned into ash out of jealousy of their superior aesthetics and intellect.
Or as the rest of the world calls it "the white man syndrome".

The Minoan Civilization should be given a lot more respect than it currently gets. Most people have never heard of them! People consider the Greeks to be the founders of Western Civilization but who knows where they would be without the Minoans. They were conquered by the Mycenaeans but for thousands of years before that, Minoan art and architecture influenced the Mycenaeans which in turn influenced the Greeks. Just look at this Minoan fresco, it looks Greek. The profiles of the ladies adhere to the Greek standard of beauty. The Minoans pioneered use of columns in their palaces to create open, light spaces, which became one of the cornerstones of Greek architecture. Without the Minoans there may have been no Temple of Artemis, the Greek's most iconic structure. The Minoan's writing system is a direct ancestor of the Greek alphabet. And they arrived over 2000 years before the Greeks, Europe's first Civilization. We know so little about these people but I wouldn't be surprised if you could trace a lot more of Greek culture back to them. Fascinating people and not given nearly enough credit for what they did.
They were of Turkic origin, though.

It unified Europe, at least religiously.
At least until the random splits.
>>1824358
>It unified Europe
But the Roman Empire fell around 200 years after Constantine. And then you have the East-West schism about 500 years later.
>>1824358
>random splits
Oh there was nothing random about the cause of all the splits in European history.
