But they were Romans?

Do laymen not realise that the Eastern half was in existence before the fall of the West?

Go away, retard.

England because they got to boast about Agincourt and Crecy for the rest of fucking time.

The duchies of Franconia repelled the invading forces and took a major step towards nationhood, having rallied behind the idea of a french "nation".

So if you want an answer in form of a nation, then that nation would be the future nation of France.

>>1648244

France obviously since England didnt get control over northern France

>>1646763

To name a few

1. Failed policies driven by ideology not pragmatism.
2. Goal-based economic plans which incentivise local beaurocrats to cover up failures and fake overproduction.
3. Lack of skilled people, because said people either left or were killed as class enemies.
4. A bunch of autists at the very top who shit out one crazy idea after another and refuse to accept that they don't work.


Commies usually try to deflect that by blaming weather conditions and other things. They cannot however find an explanation why for example famine was absent from Polish parts of Ukraine which had the very same soils and climate.

The great famines of 1920s and 1930s were after the civil war.

Try harder, comrade.

Its a term by the alt-right to create a nouveau degeneracy list.

Otherwise known as they wish it was the 1950's.

Are you describing Cultural Marxism, or the people that use that term?

Now, addressing Nietzsche: Nietzsche does not actually make an argument through either inductive or deductive reasoning, or even "dialectic", he just uses rhetoric. Some will mentions he was a competent philologist, but Nietzsche, at least in his philosophical writings, does not employ any rigorous philological method. This is not innately bad, since Nietzsche's intent was to write a philosophical work of music, so to speak, as opposed to an argument. His work is intended purely as an artistic exercise. But it becomes a problem when his readers use him as an authority for anything, when he is cited as an authority for how society,religion, morality, culture, psychology, or history works, then it is a problem. Because Nietzsche's work does not offer anything in the way of an academic understanding of this. It's like citing Shakespeare's historical plays in discussions about Caesar or Henry V.

Anyway, that's all.

>>1645407
> However the problem is this leads him to an assumption of historical determinism. If there is one incontrovertible axiom, one inevitability, it's randomness.
Have you studied statistics? Did you know that radioactive decay, out most accurate way of measuring time, is based upon a series of independent random events?

>probability
>the bigger something is the more random
>drivel
Oh wait, no you haven't.

I'm not saying that Marx was right. There very well may have been multiple possible direction, but those come from self reinforcing phenomenon reaching critical mass, not from large scale randomness.

>>1645410
Nice false analogy there.

>>1646162
You're dumb and retarded, did you think your little critiques deserved a bump?

>>1646198
>Have you studied statistics?
Yes. And while some statistical thinking is beneficial, in excess it actually leads to a huge weakness concerning the totally unpredictable.

>Did you know that radioactive decay, out most accurate way of measuring time, is based upon a series of independent random events?
Yes, I know. Surety of casino profit is also based on a series of independent random events. You might re-read the OP. I didn't say randomness was only big, I said very clearly that rather that the bigger the randomness, the harder it is to account for and predict. The more incremental, the easier, especially when you have all the variables. Marx is making predictions for models that are subject to very, very big randoms, and with countless unknown variables and possible outcomes.

Is european civilization a continuation of mesopotamian civilization?

>>1644484
Yes and no.

Minoan and Mycenaean civilization is only about a thousand years younger than Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations.

And because of the rough terrain of Greece, it was always more decentralized and focused on trade rather than religion or conquest.

Europe has a very expansive and unique history and has been home to many great philosophers.

There is more recorded history in Europe than anywhere else in the world.

They were just really powerful bombs, that's all. Japan was facing inner turmoil wether to surrender or not long before the bombs dropped. When they did, and the Soviets declared war the same week, the game was up. Just accept it.

They were needed to force a surrender, some will point out that Japan wanted to surrender. This is not true, some high ranking Japanese did, but many did not, and the population would have fought on at their order.

Also, the bombs simply had to be demonstrated in order to make a point to the soviets. Imagine if they were never dropped, despite testing in empty deserts, the true destructive power wouldn't be seared into peoples minds and they would have probably ended up being used during the cold war.

>Has anybody read Marx and still stayed a true capitalist?

I had the reverse phenomenon. Marx's completely missing the point of Marginalism led me to realize how bunk the foundation stone of the whole thing is.

Marx was right about literally everything

It depends who you hate more.
If you hate French people, then Normans were 100% Scandinavian.

Normans, Franks, Angles, Saxons; they're all just a bunch of honkies to me.

You mean these obscure college campus retards /pol/-tards constantly compare themselves to to claim superiority?
