Why were the leaders of Communist countries so fucking retarded?
>Lets kill all agricultural scientists then collectivize, making urban workers who have no knowledge of agriculture manage it all, GENIUS!
>How is science useful in agriculture? It isn't, just fuck my shit up with Lysenkoism!
>Wow this farm is claiming it's got 50 tonnes of wheat on one acre, instead of actually verifying this or testing this out at all, just make all farms do the exact same shit they are doing!, FUCKING GENIUS
>CORN, CORN EVERYWHERE IN NORTHERN SIBERIA AND THE BALTICS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN CORN REQUIRES WARM-HOT WEATHER?
>Computers? How would computers help at all in bureaucracy, production or central planning? We are scrapping all computing programs and policy! Computers, what a load of bullshit
>Why would we build consumer goods when we can build millions of tanks and aircraft despite we already have nukes which means basically there is no chance of conflict against us ever.
>Who needs modern infrastructure? Just melt that shit down in a fire in your backyard, it'll be alright!
>Just dump toxic waste into catchment areas, it's will be alright!
>LOL ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT? BAN THAT SHIT.
What the fuck? Did they purposely sabotage their countries on purpose to make them collapse or what?

The hardest part about trying communism is trying to make literally everything centralised and efficient. Which everyone fails at to some degree because they don't go together.

Probably. Taxation, westernization, and land acquisition by British entities probably had more to do with it.

Man, for a moment I thought the Brits shoved cartridges up their asses and lit them.
They anally roasted the Mau-Mau rebels more literally, with boiling-hot eggs and stones.

The Sepahis stopped getting paid for their bonus abroad, their wages didn't ride with inflation, and the cartridges even though the casings were made of vegetable and not meat.

Arguing with a Nietzsche fan is infuriating. Any time you make a point against him, they tell you you've misinterpreted him. Any time you cite an incompleteness in his thinking, they tell you you haven't read enough of him. If you REALLY start to critique him properly, they'll pull the ultimate weasel move and claim he wasn't even a philosopher at all.
It's almost not worth it. Just put them all in the zoo where they can enjoy themselves.

>Why is the French Revolution considered more influential/groundbreaking than the American Revolution?
Without the American Revolution it is doubtable there would have been a french revolution, and even if there was it would have been delayed by a great deal. While the French Revolution shattered the concept of a infallible Monarchy, it didnt really change the political world outside of france.

I thought he is macedonians, of sure

Ancient Greece was not a political entity, it was roughly defined group of city states with a common culture. Macedonia was a kingdom in ancient Greece. Neither it nor ancient Greece exist anymore, obviously, so really nobody can "claim" him. The modern nations of Greece and Macedonia just happen to occupy roughly the same land.

>Macedonia was a kingdom in ancient Greece
Macedonia was not in Greece, it is its own kingdom. And Macedonia still exists.

Gee I wonder why.
But even so there are plenty of notable non-European philosophers, like the Kyoto School's Nishitani Keiji, Nishida Kitaro and Tanabe Hajime. You just don't hear about them.

Completely untrue, unless you restrict philosophy down to the analytic & continental. There's many other forms of philosophy.
>>
>>983549
because philosophy, as in a specific systemaic, disciplined and logic bound approach to 'thinking things', in of themselves, and in of itself, beyond religious context, is a tipicaly european thing
theres examples of it in other cultures but they are usualy one off things
taoism or texts developing buddhist thought or vedic texts etc... and teachers, arent realy philosophy in the strict sense, you could say they 'reflect a philosophy' simply in the sense of a particular paradigm of thought

Killing Hitler isn't morally justifiable
The categorical imperative says that the way to test the morality of an action is to think about what would happen is if everybody did it
Kill Hitler because he's a murderer - killing murderers is right
Everybody kills murderers, everybody becomes a murderer and gets killed
World is fucked

The categorical imperative is flawed because it assumes that everyone doing the same thing is somehow ideal. But it's not - specialization is one of the defining characteristics of civilization.
