Stalin. Hardass motherfucker who had his revolutionary start on the streets.

>>888528

1. JOSEF STALIN WAS NOT A REVOLUTIONARY, BUT A DICTATOR.

2. ADOLF HITLER WAS BOTH, A REVOLUTIONARY, AND A DICTATOR.

3. ADOLF HITLER BEGAN HIS SOCIOPOLITICAL CAREER "FROM THE STREETS" ALSO.

Hitler, he was in the german military during WW2

Yes. Things exist if they *are*--independent of the mind
See above
'Why' is a meaningless question in this instance. 'How' is a more appropriate one. In which case, that discussion still goes on.

Define exist. What makes something exist and what makes them not exist.

Why do that when I can join Makhno in building a free state instead

Because the Black Army didn't form until 1918.

No. I'd (begrudgingly) be for the constitutional monarchy set up in 1905. Communism is a scourge on the earth.

The kind that pisses everyone else off.

>but longbows look cooler than crossbow

Longbows can be more powerful and require less skill, but those tiny bolts have less range and crossbows can't be fired as quickly

But yeah,

>neurons are responsible for qualia

It was always there in Bolshevism and it started in Marxism, the idea that the ends justify the means.

>>884550

What? No? I'm not good enough in English to articulate my thoughts here but that's not true. Some radical means were taken to overthrow Nikolay II but then Bolshevism under Lenin wasn't close to Facism at all. Lots of factions (soviets) with lots of different ''écoles de pensées'' (lines of thoughts?). That's what Stalin did. He exterminated the divergences. So yes OP Stalin transformed Bolchevism into Facism (but no need to add ''slavic'' in front, or if you do so you must add a regional prefix to any form of government - American democracy, Canadian democracy, Spanish facism, etc.)

>>884578
Did Lenin and his Bolsheviks crush the autonomy of the soviets fairly quickly?

>>884517

Because they had a lot more penetrating power. Especially by the early to mid 15th century, armor existed that was basically impervious even to point blank fire from longbows, and if you had a 1000ish pound draw crossbow, you could maybe kill someone at close range, maybe not.

Guns became prevalent because when they hit people, they could actually kill them. And even "accurate" bows had relatively shitty ranges and lethalities. The overwhelming bulk of casualties in pretty much every medieval battle were done hand to hand (usually while chasing down fleeing people)

>Also why didn't they re-introduce the bow during later eras when most armor had been dropped by infantry?

Because by then guns had advanced still further, and were definitely ahead in things like accuracy and range. Not to mention the pool of people with skillsets of bow use had pretty much dried up.

STOPPING POWER

What's interesting about this is that in Asia fire arms weren't used as much as in europe due to early fire arms being much less effective than mounted archers

Most of the Total War Games are legit, personal favourites are Empire: Total War and Shogun 2.

Also EUIV, or any Europa Universalis.

Nice bait.

Prior to the "enlightenment" mass-murder did not take place under a single Catholic monarch in the French Kingdom. The High-Medieval Period was by far the most peaceful era of France's history before the modern day.

But for morality as skewed as yours, killing millions of people for your definition of a "better world" is cool I guess...
