The year is 1345. You live in Europe. You have 1 year until the Plague hits and kills nearly everybody. What do you do to maximize your odds of survival?
Move to Cracow, apparently.

What makes a person good?
Why?
I have come to think that one of the elements of being a good person is doing good things, as in helpin others, not doing wrong things such as breaking the law or hurting others in legal ways, etc. This conclusion comes from the premises of:
1) good things are good
2) people enjoy good things
3) the more people enjoy good things, more good there will be
What other elements can be logically traced into the goodness of a person?
More importantly...
If a person is by default, bad. And that person hates herself for that, therefore deciding to deliberately become a better person in their own selfish interest to feel better about themselves, and does indeed become a better person, wouldn't that make the person even worse? After all, what this person does is good - but its selfish, escapist intentions are bad.
Would that be a bad good? Or should I say, a good bad?
Don't mind the hottie, I just need attention in this thread.

How well-integrated were Jews in prewar France and Germany?
From 1880-1932, could Jews ascend to the upper echelon of the nobility? Were there any Jewish counts and marquesses?
How visible and how severe was anti-Jewish prejudice on the European continent prior to the Nazi terror?
Would it be scandal for a Jew to marry into Christian nobility? Did a scion of the Rothschilds or any other wealthy Jewish dynasty pull that off?
>>936526
Prime Minister of France when Germany invaded was Jewish.
Jews were usually isolated in jewish communities, somewhat like muslim communities of today except that the jews didn't harbor terrorists.
>>936564
By the 30s Jews were basically invisible in Germany, which frightened the Nazis and helped them garner success
Why do these two countries have such a similar history and fate?
>Land Inhabited for thousands of years BC.
>Both form pretty decent kindgodms for a time before they get dominated by a huge empire (The British and the Ottoman)
>Lots of similar events happening at the same time - 1916 Irish Easter Rising. The 1916 Illindensko-Preobrajensko rising.
>Both suffering famines and crisis at the same time. Become a country at the same time (1937 IRE, 1936 Bulgaria).
>BOth in a very similar position right now. BOth shit.
>People drink and fight a lot.
>Lots of forests and songs.
Why?
>>943636
Ireland is doing pretty good though also I don't know what the irish did with the birts but the bulgarians chimped out and massacred muslims left and right when they got independance.
>>943636
Alright I'll play, but:
>become a country at the same time
>1936 Bulgaria
What do you mean by this?
>>943648
1922 Independence, 1936 no longer a Kingdom, and accepts constitution.

Hi /his/, I have a sort of a specific question:
What happened to the german POW held in the Soviet Union after they were released? Were they allowed to go back to the other side of Berlin or Germany if their families were there?
It would be very fucking sad to be finally freed only to discover you can go back home.
>can not go home

Any communists here? I want to have an intelligent conversation about the history of communism.
Pls no flaming.
>>940822
Do communists see Stalin as a true communist? Or did he deviate too much from restoring power to the workers?
Was the USSR at any time the workers utopia it was supposed to be?
If so, were the atrocities committed necessary or did they detract from the ideals of the country?
I've never had these questions addressed in a non bias way. I'm curious to see how communists feel about the Soviet Union
>>940841
I really hope this isn't what this thread turns into
why don't you talk about the future of communism
oh wait there isn't one
What were the causes for the French and American revolutions? Did they influence one another?
>>939392
The people were done with the bullshit and acted on it
American revolution = massive tax evasion
French revolution = a gigantic chimpout fueled by egalitarian enlightement writers
Also ignore this post: >>939399
It's never "the people". In France it was violent mobs concentrated mostly in Paris while the rest of the country didn't give a fuck. In America likewise, a handful of population was loyalist, a handful was secessionist, and the absolute majority of people just didn't care.
Basically the french won the revolution for the colonies whih plunged france into an economic shithole and after a few years of shit harvests the hungly plebs of paris began to riot for food which lead to some shitty decisions and you know the rest

>>935218
That sounds like the whole field of philosophy, trying to sell your inherently worthless thoughts in a world which changes through action.
All right /his/ ! Help me to create the perfect dictatorship. If you were the non-elected leader of a country, what would you do ?
>inb4 kill the jews
Keep in mind we're humanists and all and care about the well being of the many. So, I would suggest to :
1. Keep corruption under tight control. This is the biggest flaw compared to democracy where the ranks can be more easily kept fresh.
2. Make the economy work, because people tend to be less noisy with a full belly. Hitler was supported by the majority of germans because he gave them work and money to buy food after all, and we can see how much of a success the USSR was with no toilet paper to wipe yourself and empty shops.
3. Use propaganda. You don't want to get kicked because you know better than anyone else how to rule the country so you have to shit on democracy once in a while to remind the people how much they owe you.
I have a hard time about repression though. How would you treat dissidents without turning your country in a Pinochet Chile shithole tier. Training your dogs to rape the opposant's wives is fun and all but it's completely unnecessary. Is exile or prison sufficient ?
Would that work in the light of history and precedent regimes ? How far could the country run ? What are the biggest problems ? Is fascist corporation a good economical system ?
For political dissidents just disappear them and release evidence that they've been working with the country's enemies
>>942986
Yeah ok, but to what extent do you consider a person dissident for example ?
Mandatory draft/clerkwork
Average amount of social welfare
A scapegoat
At least attempt to be as independent as possible, because you will get fucked up by the eternal anglo
