Probably not since North Korea is 99% Korean while the USSR was a multikulti shithole.

Yes most likely I think. There would have been no Polish October, 1953 GDR or 1956 Hungary uprising.
Kadar was released after Stalin's death to pressure the 'Stalinist' Rákosi. The USSR then had to intervene to depose Nagy but then Kadar assumed leadership. Under Molotov, Kadar and Nagy would have been condemned as the revisionists they were and Yugoslavia would have been
This is like Spain could have been

If you say that all of our actions are determined then your statement is determined, but for a statement to have truth you have to have had reasoning. Without free will there is no reasoning, because you can not choose it. If there is no reason you cant appeal to reason
Unless reasoning is just "justification"
when in reality you were going to make an action no matter what, it was to your own benefit that you justified it with reason, and reasoning.
OP here, for any statement to have truth, we have to assume that the statement was considered against other possible truths, and the most reasonable one was selected, or chosen, which requires free will. Otherwise, words are being spoken and have nothing to do with truth. Then, words that promote the truth of determinism cannot have truth to them.

>for any statement to have truth, we have to assume that the statement was considered against other possible truths
Or again, its just justifications.
No matter what I was going to type this.
For my own benefit I considered alternatives that never happened, because this was going to happen, no matter what.
Does democracy go against human nature?

Yes, especially if you program the masses to be ignorant.
no, it´s a cultural achievement of societies

Why dont we have a board project? My vote would be a historical version of encyclopedia dramatica, except with less edgy aged memes.
It might even bring extra life to things like picture related. Once a group of innocent retards ordered to throw snowballs at eachother becomes legendary aryan brothers giving their life to defend an idea.

It would have to revolve around USA history, WWII, Cold War and Crusades, since those are the only things people here know about

More or less, yea. It's a shame but that's what happens when you split from the Church for temporal reasons as the Roman Catholic Church did.
Ten differences between Orthodox and Catholicism.
1. Orthodox reject inheritability of sin. Death and suffering are human nature, we only don't suffer them when partaking in perfect synergism with God's energies, which we haven't since the fall.
2. The Orthodox reject the "satisfaction theory of atonement". The Orthodox subscribe to "Christus Victor" (the idea of atonement illustrated in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe).
3. Hell in Orthodoxy is not separation from God. Hell, like heaven, is experiencing the full radiance of God's light and presence, but with a negative relationship so that it is like fire.
4. The Orthodox reject the idea that our understanding of dogma develops. The idea is to keep the exact same understanding the Apostles have, invented terminology is not meant to develop the understanding, but to PROTECT it from being "developed".
5. Catholics define usury as excessive interest, Orthodox define usury as any interest.
6. The Orthodox reject the Catholic idea of supererogation.
7. The Orthodox reject Purgatory. The Orthodox do, however, distinguish Sheol (called "Hades" in Greek) from Gehenna.
8. Orthodoxy places enormous emphasis on fasting, in fact more than half the days of the year involve some sort of fast. And there are even some days which are total fasts, no intake, period. Two consistent fast days (almost every Wednesday and Friday, no meat, dairy, eggs, fish, oils or wine) trace back at least to the Didache.
9. Orthodox draw most of their priests from the married laity, but most of their bishops from monks.
10. Infants can and do receive Holy Communion
From my post in a previous thread:
>Protestants
They make the fatal mistake of rejecting the first 1500 years of Church history and this ignore, or rather pick and choose Tradition. Tradition is an essential part of the Church, and is a cornerstone of the early Church that Protestants claim to have revived, but haven't at all. It is the teachings of Christ, His command to the Apostles to spread the Word, and thus Apostolic Succession. This authority is part of Tradition, and eventually lead to the Cannon of the NT. The NT wasn't assembled as a "believe this and reject all else", but rather it was assembled and accepted over the centuries of the early Church by the same criteria as rooting out heresies - what is accepted and practiced by all Christians all over Christiandom? Only what came from Christ via His Apostles would meet that criteria. Heresies such as Iconoclasm, Monothelitism, Monarchism/Adoptionist, Gnosticism, Papal Supremacy, and Sola Scriptura/Sola Fide did not fit this criteria and we're all innovations, thus heresies and not accepted. The Orthodox Church has survived all these adversarial ideas.
Why did France never really match it's previous power and influence after 1815? Were they late to the industrial race? The Second French Empire was a joke compared to the first.
>>1794047
German nationalism and Russian expansion made them irrelevant in Europe. British naval power made them irrelevant overseas and dependant on them for maritime communications. Late access to Industrial Revolution and demographic growth all over Europe had France ceased to be the prime European state both by population and economy. Diplomatically France had pissed off everyone and remained essentially isolated and a lapdog of the British Empire until Russia sought an ally to counter German influence.
Napoleon ruined France position in Europe forever.
>>1794047
Napoleon made equal inheritance a thing meaning families didnt want to have a lot of kids to prevent their land getting split into smaller and smaller plots. Slow population growth meant wars hit France harder than other European states, and it also meant there wasn't a large labor surplus so industrialization lagged behind too.
Birth rate collapse.
>french conquer Jerusalem from poorly organised Muslims
>completely ignore that after they always got btfo every other crusade with some exceptions
Why are the crusades so overrated?
>>179396
>French strength 15,000
>Muslim strength unknown
>Muslim losses 10,000
Can easily deduce they had over 30,000 men
For an fan of the Ottoman Empire (whose entire military history consisted of such "victories" among many shameful defeats) that would look like an epic victory, but for the rest of the world not so much
>>1793989
The king got captured, doesn't matter if it's an """"le epic victory"""". It's a massive embarrassment and the enemy now has leverage over the war
>>1793962
19th century romantic medievalism treated the crusaders as heroes while ignoring the failures
Asians love visiting Europe for its historical cities and city centers. They drool when they come here and their social media feed is on fire as soon as they're here.
Yet where are theirs? Going to Seoul, you'll find a temple here and there, and a palace, but everything else is gone.
Same for basically every other East Asian country.

Why has European pride been completely destroyed in modern society? I'm not one of those to ride on the coattails of my ancestors, but it's quite obvious that if Europe and its children united we could dominate the entire world and we would live in absolute paradise from the enslavement of other races and the theft of their resources.
Why has the tribal nature of man died? Why have we been sissified?

What could the political system of the USSR under Stalin best be described as? (i.e. the transition from a backwards agrarian country into a technologically advanced global superpower)

I don't know the posters name, but I feel it would be a good topic to talk about.
How do we know if history is real? How do you know it's just the equivalent of video game lore?
>>1793271
That was just an edgy shitpost. I don't buy into Fomenko's theories. They shouldn't be taken to seriously.
Still there may be a grain of truth in the fact that many things in history are based on little evidence and assumptions, and at some point we may talk about things that never actually happened.
That doesn't mean everything is fake.

>tfw your namesake hurricane is fucking devastating.
If a bunch of Indians get killed by a hurricane, and none of them have writing, nobody notices.
Also, nomadic people probably aren't as likely to live near the coast compared to sedentary people.
