I have to do it or i fail the semester this is my last chance deadline is tomorrow 5pm (about 22 hours) then i have a second 1000 word essay to pick one of these questions :

>Should a Marxist describe capitalism as just?

>Does the Marxist analysis of class oppression give a convincing account of women’s oppression?

>Should a Marxist support the idea of paying wages for housework?

>Discuss Marx’s critique of morality as ideology.

>>1582934
>Marx on Alienation.
>I'm writing a short paper on Marx, are we more alienated today than in Marx time. I need some healthy discussion here as I have no friends. At the moment i am arguing that we are less
>alienated because there is more opportunity today for someone at the lowest end of the class structure to rise in status/class economically than in Marx day.

We are more alienated today than before because we have more access to information but we stay dominated by the opressors, we live on an illusion of freedom but that freedom relies on how much money we have, i may want to travel but i dont have money...well i must obey muh masters and work more for more money...the opportunity for change of social class is another illusion, the system want us to be content with this shit so they give us false hope to believe on the elite. "Wow... some dudes left this shithole and now live well... i can do that too"...etc...etc

I can write a lot on marxism and postmodernism or whatever on spanish because that shit is my primary languaje. I studied a lot of marx when i was on the university. On english i cannot so mucb because of those edgy words that marxists edgelords use on their works.

>on the same level as Rome just cuz some dude was born there and because a few pointless battles were fought over it

>>1587831

If your'e going for China, I would honestly argue that Shanghai was more important than Peking for most of its history.

Big fan of ancient Persia here. I think the world would have been a better place if Persia was never annihilated by both the Mongols and the Muslims. Centuries of a brilliant civilization brought to ruin - a one+two knockout from the east and the west.

To add, the subjugation of Persia to the Muslims is a good example of why more "passive" religions like Zoroastrianism cannot stand up to more aggressive doctrines.

>>1584354
>Persia was never annihilated
Are you saying that as Persians were annihilated literally by Arabs or Mongols? Because such a thing has never happened.
>>1584357
Zoroastrianism was codified and put into its final orthodox state under House Sasan a few decades before they usurped power and dethroned the Arsacids; and it was never a "passive" religion. Iranians remained majority Zoroastrian till the late 10th to early 11th century and that was mainly due to the Umayyads and Abbassids not wanting to employ non-Muslims and profiting from the religious taxes they imposed on non-Muslims i.e. Buddhists, Christians, Zoroastrians, pagans, etc...

But anon....I am Orthodox :3

And I am a girl like Constie

>>Paganism is out because it's just an epic meme, anyone claiming to be pagan on this board is a LARPer who has never attended a pagan service outside of an imageboard. Anyone who's ever attended a real pagan service knows that it's the sheer definition of new-age bullshit

Oldest religions on earth are "new-age" . Kill yourself

>Can perception of history be changed through politically biased mass media
Are you kidding? Things people unironically believe because of biased media:

>The United States won WWII singlehandedly
>The Soviet Union won WWII singlehandedly
>The French Resistance was crucial to victory in WWII
>Vietnam was extremely bloody for all involved
>Vietnam was primarily fought by non-whites
>Vietnam was mostly draftees
>The U.S. lost militarily in Vietnam
>The U.S. won Vietnam
And so on and so forth. Media is absolutely shit for actually detailing actual truths.

>sniper rifles with bayonets
For what purpose?

Because there's an upper limit to the kind of punishments you can dole out, usually at some form of horrific execution.

If you start giving out serious punishments for relatively smaller crimes, criminals escalate the crimes they do commit because hey, they're going to be executed anyway if caught, right?

Do you really think a system where someone would seriously consider murdering a witness to his jaywalking to be a good idea?

And I refuse to believe you've never heard about Draco.

>>1581958
Because you get V for Vendetta when eventually people get pissed that their little brother was mutilated for j-walking.

>Ottoman Empire true successor to Rome.

*sigh* This is why I hate /his/ and think we should have flags. It essentially is just /pol/ or /int/ with dates.

Nothing good ever comes from Muslims in general.

>>1579378
What exactly entitles the
>H
>R
>E

or fucking Russia to be known as the successor to Rome more than the Ottoman Empire? At least the Ottoman Empire was occupying the space of the Eastern Roman Empire and carrying on the ideals and traditions of the Roman Empire

Read Plato and Aristotle.

Only those who perform a public service (military, work in hospitals etc...) for a minimum of 5 years should be allowed to vote.

One vote per household.

What possible metric are you using to calculate that?

Aquinas argues in favor of a generic God not the Christian Trinity. Even Muslims and Deists can use his arguments. Just thought I'd say that.

what if I just...I dunno ;)...rejected aristotelian metaphysics? :* B)

Hitler was more.... you know memeful.

He had a terrible sense of judgement. Should've allied himself with the Anglos and French or at least stayed neutral. Nothing good ever comes from siding with the eternal Kraut.

>>1577954
At the end of the day, Il Duce was more Italian than Roman.

State sanctioned violence is ok because I say so
Run of the mill violence is not okay because I say so

>>1583792
State sanctioned violence against people outside of the state benefits everyone within the state. Run-of-the-mill violence benefits only the perpetrator.
Generally speaking of course.

>>1583792
you won't get arrested for state santioned violence
