How would the Zulu kingdom have fared if Shaka wasn't murdered?
>Implying Eurocentric /his/ wants to talk about Bantu people other than to repeatedly criticize their lack of technological advancements
Try going to reddit, you might actually get a response there.
I don't imagine it would stay very stable, and Shaka will die eventually whether he's murdered or not. Without a figure like him a lot of the empire would fall apart, and could become a European protectorate, but from there remain independent, especially once decolonization happens, as a small state.

Was mythology ever meant to be simply entertaining as well as spiritual?
Was mythology ever meant? You can compare it to our memes that kind of just exist without much meaning attached.
yeah why the fuck do you think greek and nordic myths are fantastic stories?
Poetry, prose and art on the subject are entertaining and engaging as well, of course.
Was feudalism a regression of civic organization compared to the Roman civic machinery? Were the Byzantines a feudal kingdom?
>Were the byzantines feudal?
Yes, but with more written laws and tradition.

Why did they send a runner to Sparta instead of a horseman?
>>884012
humans have sweat glands, although their top speed is slower an athlete can run nearly all day without overheating
>>884022
Cavalry would ride for 50-60 miles a day.
>>884012
They had infamously shitty horses back then, especially everything south of Thessaly. It's entirely possible they had 0 horses, and if they did, they might not have been the quality to keep up with an ancient Olympic distance running champion.

Is Fascism really capitalism in decay?
have fascists ever come to power at a time or in a place where capital wasn't under threat?
>>880432
No. There is no correlation whatsoever between the political beliefs of fascists and capitalists.
If anything, representative democracy is capitalism in decay.
>>880432
No. Capitalism in decay is third-world countries going to shit while the first-world faggots drink champaing and watch tv bullshit and then whining when the shit they are responsable for come knocking the door. Hope refugees destroy europe...
How did slaveholders rationalize the bondage and abuse of their own brothers, cousins, and sons?
>>880328
Well they paid for them.
>>880328
the negro is a pack animal
t. slaveholder
>>880328
People back then would beat their white family members too for disobedience.
But to answer your question more directly: enslaved children of masters would often be house servants and live under the same roof as their dad. Masters almost always denied their kinship with these slaves, but often privately recognized them and gave them privileges not afforded to other slaves. A few even freed them and bought them land out on the frontier or in the North. However if the slave ever tried to assert their relationship to their master they could be disowned or beaten for damaging the master's honor since sleeping with your slaves was considered trashy by polite society.
Is post-scarcity an economic topic, or a philosophical one? Does it make sense to say that there is a post-scarcity economy, because economic phenomenon itself emerges from scarcity?
It's a physics topic.
It can't exist.
>>880098
>Does it make sense to say that there is a post-scarcity economy, because economic phenomenon itself emerges from scarcity?
No it doesn't, it emerges from the creation of value. We already live in an effectively "post-scarcity" society, when was the last time anyone starved to death, and yet the economy is bigger than ever.
tl;dr- wants > needs
>>880098
>Is post-scarcity an economic topic, or a philosophical one?
I would say more of a philosophical one. Economics is the study of scarce resources so if you stop scarcity, you kind of stop economics.
>Does it make sense to say that there is a post-scarcity economy, because economic phenomenon itself emerges from scarcity?
It doesn't make sense.
