Because command economies do not give everyone what they need, and therefore there will be scarcity.

>see massive uproars in places like Vietnam
You mean like thousands of Southerners placed in reeducation camps?

Also Vietnam followed China's economic model you know.

Need and want btw*, meant to put that as an edit.

Frankly, probably not, I'd be too worried the aliens would be showing up to take over. And what better way to destroy a native population than to have them do it themselves.
Now, if they actually show some proof they're benevolent and just trying to help, sure, but I'd also be wary of trusting someone who's basically saying "Well it worked for me!" when my biggest complain with most ideologies is that they exist in a vacuum and setting that has never appeared before in human history. In case anyone was wondering, I'm fairly conservative and I don't see liberal ideologies ever working out long term as long as humans are humans in all their selfish, short sighted assholery.

Maybe.

How do I know that the alien is all-knowing?

But hoplites also had mini skirts, and some were faggots too.

>Tea Party
I don't think the Bostonians who threw tea into the harbor that night hated "mudskins" that much, considering America's good relations with West African Muslim countries early on, disregarding (or even taking into account) the Barbary Wars.
Or are you breaking the 25-year rule?

>>987279
In what way is he breaking the 25 year rule my reddit friend?
He isn't asking about the history of the 2010 tea party, he's just comparing a guy from two millenia ago to a today's party so he can understand the situation better and mayhaps even draw parallels

>>987284
>reddit
What?
The comparison breaks the rule.

>>986938
Because the French got btfo by the English. And this defeat was added to the long and growing list of pathetic French defeats.

Why would anyone be proud to be or celebrate these losers?

>>986938
>any white Americans boast about their German, British, Irish or Polish heritage, but where are the French-Americans?
In Canada

I've got some French in me
It's the worst part of my heritage

The leaders of the Reformation hated monasteries. Probably because of muh faith alone and all that.

What exactly is the point of monasteries?

Check out The Great War's episode on his actions in WWI, he's pretty based

>>985820
He is mainly over hyped because he launched his invasion of Egypt early, in summer 1942, when he was supposed to wait 3 months so that the Axis could capture Malta, better securing Axis supply lines in North Africa. Instead, he decided to press his advantage and invade Egypt. After his gamble failed, he whined a lot about how his troops weren't getting enough supplies and he needed more tanks and oil, even though the Axis was trying to get these to him, but the ships were being sunk because.... the paratroopers that were going to be used to capture Malta had to be diverted to help Rommel, and the supply lines couldn't be secured.

He was a very good general, as shown during the battle of France and the North Africa campaign. Every general makes mistakes though, so yeah.

>>985820
He was a top 10 German general, but not a top 5. Overall overrated.

A few years in a comfy white collar Federal Prison ain't worth blowing your brains out over even if you were framed.

>>985669

it was the principle of the matter

>>985285
>some reason

Because getting framed for something and killing yourself over it on live T.V. fucking blows, maybe?

>qualia
This word just sort of makes me nauseous whenever I see it now, even though I used to find it fascinating.

>>984123
That sounds like an interesting experience, thank you for trying to share it with us.

and a non-noble non-peasant and non-knightly class and you've got a thing.

>>983799
where the hell have you heard that.

It is almost inevitable for an agrarian society to evolve into a feudal society, especially post-Roman societies.

To maintain an empire the size of Charlemagne's for example, feudalism was a requirement.

>>983813
What? I don't care about the struggle of the proletariat, it just happens unless the society is influenced by another that has progressed past feudalism.

It is the only logistical way for a society to function during those time periods, even China ran the exact same way.

Fucking revisionists hating on colonialism.

>English history

Haha. Les bains?

Henry VI

There's no other correct answer. There were plenty of tyrants, but this guy was an absolute nullity and England paid the price. Shame because his father was a champion.

Aethelred was pretty shit, but I'd agree that it would have to go to Henry VI.
Other close runners up are Stephen, John, Henry III and Richard II

CK2 /gsg/ at /vg/ has all of it in a Mega.

There's no chance whatsoever this is comparable to Religious right Muslims or Christians raging at people for asserting a secular stance mainly based on what the archaeological and historical sources say rather than the Religious ones?

>>982735
It definitely is, but in the case of Indology it's also tied in with post-colonialism. As in, are Western academics still viewing India from a colonial perspective and are either purposefully or unintentionally degrading India?

>>982719
It's anecdotal evidence but whatever; we had a lecture by Indian ambassador on his country in my university. It was generally okay but man, did he dive into some WE WUZ shit at times.

>We invented geometry and shiet several thousand years BC
>Except Western fucks don't trust oral sources
>Fucking Western fucks
>Vedas are basically ancient textbooks
>They have the speed of light incorporated in them and shiet

>>981654
No. Paul did.

None of them. Christianity arose after his death and was spread by the apostles. >>981654

We need to define ''religion''.
