What did Ubisoft mean by this?
>>1357899
Do you mean, why did Ubisoft make their Karl Marx a pacifist while the real Karl Marx advocated the violent overthrow of capitalism?
My guess is that, due to Socialism currently shedding the negative image it got in the West from the Cold War, portraying Marxism (and thus Marx) positively is becoming more popular. On the other hand, the less savory bits of Marxism--the advocacy of violence as a means of bringing about the necessary changes for creating Communism--remains less than savory for modern leftists. As a result, Ubisoft likely wanted to portray their Marx as a pacifist so that they can continue portraying Marx positively without having to deal with the awkward bit where he advised murdering capitalists and taking their property.

Marx is the Muhammad of Socialism. Anything he could have said or done that we would consider wrong or bad is either ignored or denied by his adherents, while simultaniously condemning anyone who disagrees with their dogma.

Tell me about the Kalash people.
Iranian ethnic group living in the mountains of Anatolia, Northern Iraq, and Iran
Saladin was one
They're currently fighting for independence in a few places but nobody wants to give up clay despite having wildly incompatible cultures

They're in Pakistan too.
Wait, Saladin was one? Wasn't he Kurdish?

Descendants of Alexander's army, mostly converted to Pisslam by now sadly but there are still a handful of valleys that keep the old Hellenic faith.
Why don't philosophers create a system of ethics purely based on logic without any feelings or subjective inclinations? Wouldn't that ultimately solve the field of ethics?
Yeah utilitarianism is great, now please step into the torture both because your suffering gains more pleasure from our enjoyment than the pain it costs you
The word you're looking for is "utilitarianism", and that should tell you exactly why this is a horrible idea.
>>1355665
Because that doesn't make any sense. The axioms that ethics are based on are by their nature subjective and based on feelings.
>black africans never had advanced countries or empires!
When will this meme end?
There is more to Africa than the Semites and Arabs hugging the Mediterranean.
Always was more, always will be more. Nigeria will be a world power in like 50 years.

Why does God have a problem with people speaking one language?

Yes, it makes no sense to me..
People couldn't sail without at least Renaissance era mathematics.
So tell me about anarcho-communism
Can it work, if so, how?
Has it ever worked?

>Can it work, if so, how?
Council, Syndicate
>Has it ever worked?
Syndicalism and Anarchy are both two large unknowns we know are theoretically possible if you've read enough, and easily dismissed if you haven't.
Largely, you know who is worth talking to on the matter and who isn't based upon their reaction.
>>1350963
Communism is actually anarchistic no matter what shitty Leninist-bolshevik told you. So anarcho-communism is redundant.
Oh and Makhno tried to create a free anarchic state in Ukraine before invaded and annexed by USSR.
>>1350963
Can it work, if so, how?
It's an utopian system, it requires perfect contitions to work, that means that all people on planet must act like Borgs or robots - everyone must be willing to become a human-ant.
Has it ever worked?
No one tried it, but ararchism and communism were tried dozen times and every time failed. You can draw the conclusions by yourself.
The one Church founded by Christ: the Orthodox Church.
This is a choir, rehearing as a Western Rite Orthodox Cathedral in Paris, they are singing a selection from the Liturgy of Saint Germanus (a 6th Century French Liturgy that was revived by the Orthodox Church); the icons are in Western style, as you can clearly see from the carving and painted icons as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKXQUgEckfU

It doesn't matter what people on this earth claim, or which religion they align themselves with. It matters whether God has written their names in the Book of Life.

How distorted is their view of history? Aside from the obvious, of course.
I'm just gonna come in here and wait for someone to unironically defend them.

I wouldn't put it past /his/.
Allow me to kind of "diagnose" Creationists for a sec.
Creationist are obligated to uphold a mythic story conclusion in the face of reality, and thus cultivate an antiintellectual conspiracy worldview to as to reduce mental stress.
They subconsciously recognize the convincing power of robust models, on the other hand cherish emotional conviction above reason. So they think they can mimic the terminology and concepts of science, but retreat back to appeals to authority once that fails.
I still dont understand why God created us?It makes zero (0) sense.

God is all about increasing infinities.
He is Love, and the greatest act of love is to lay down your life for another.
Jesus proved His love for us when He lay down His life for all of us. The greatest act of love in the history of the universe.
He made you because He loves you and wants you to live with Him forever. In fact, because He loves you so much, He'd rather die than live without you.
So He did.
And then on the third day, He rose from the dead, and promised everyone who loves Him to do the same for them.
