The supreme truth of history, as illuminated by Karl Marx (PBUH)

1.Social progress is driven by progress in the material, productive forces a society has at its disposal (technology, labour, capital goods, etc.)
2.Humans are inevitably involved in production relations (roughly speaking, economic relationships or institutions), which constitute our most decisive social relations.
3.Production relations progress, with a degree of inevitability, following and corresponding to the development of the productive forces.
4.Relations of production help determine the degree and types of the development of the forces of production. For example, capitalism tends to increase the rate at which the forces develop and stresses the accumulation of capital.
5.Both productive forces and production relations progress independently of mankind's strategic intentions or will.
6.The superstructure—the cultural and institutional features of a society, its ideological materials—is ultimately an expression of the mode of production (which combines both the forces and relations of production) on which the society is founded.
7.Every type of state is a powerful institution of the ruling class; the state is an instrument which one class uses to secure its rule and enforce its preferred production relations (and its exploitation) onto society.
8.State power is usually only transferred from one class to another by social and political upheaval.
9.When a given style of production relations no longer supports further progress in the productive forces, either further progress is strangled, or 'revolution' must occur.
10.The actual historical process is not predetermined but depends on the class struggle, especially the organization and consciousness of the working class.

>any kind of materialistic worldview
>ever

what are the upsides? surely it would warp the metal of the spike or the spear handle itself?

not to mention it would reduce the piercing power of the spike itself

>>873136
This would be a very stupid idea, I doubt anyone pulled that off.

>>873136
While that might be good for the spook factor and all, would it really function well as a weapon?

>>873073
...because they're Arab? And Turk? And Muslim?

What kind of a fucking question is this OP, of course they're different. Did the Ottomans have a Senate? Did Alexander conquer the world for allah?

>>873083
I meant in terms of how one set is portrayed as a group of barbaric savages, while the other is portrayed as a bastion of civilisation.

You're spot on OP. None of them were Christian and they all practised a savage oriental religion built on murder and pederasty.

DUDE BELIEVING IN THE GROUND AND PRINCIPLE OF REALITY IS THE SAME AS BELIEVING IN LEPRECHAUNS LMAO

Guy has no idea what fucking planet he's on

>>872898
>>872903
What the fuck are either of you on about?

>>872898
How do they differ then?

Steel helmets didn't really become necessary until heavy artillery came into the picture. The chances of a musket-ball hitting you in the head is close to zero, and a steel helmet wouldn't have done jackshit to protect you (most musket balls were 40 or 50 caliber by today's standards)

Steel helmets are mostly to protect from fragmentation caused by artillery.

>Why did Napoleonian armies used a Shako

Command and control.
Also the fact that most battles in the napoleonic wars were decided by charging after a single volley, and this allowed them to scare the enemy more.

>>872647
Wow, I didn't know musket ball were so powerful, I'd had thought that modern rifle had more perforing power. Still, the Shako is completely impractical, heavy and difficult to make. I guess the fab was really important at the time.

>>872650
Ok, but putting a useless burden on your soldier seems very impractical to me

>true that African Americans are physically superior because only the healthier ones survived during Atlantic Slave Trade, causing bottleneck effect?

No, because genes don't work that way. You need 1000's of years for significant genetic differences to appear among a population.

Kenyans are great long distance runners because they are tall and (some) live at high altitudes. West Africans (where most slaves came from) have more muscle mass on account of the rampancy of malaria in the area. Sickle cell disease is an adaptation that renders one all but immune to malaria but harms vascular health. To adapt to this natives evolved more explosive strength instead. The West Africans who don't have sickle cell disease are typically good athletes.

>>872334

Do you even know what a bottleneck effect is? Let's do a really simple example. Let's say we prevented every single person with blonde hair from reproducing. Would there be a change in the rates of blonde hair for the next generation?

lol imagine them if they knew what pokemon was

>>872179
Oh my look at these Eagles.

Why does R2 look like ass and cardboard for me? what mod is that anon?

The problem with most atheists is that they only really look into very shallow and superstitious concepts of God.

The problem with many theists is that they follow a shallow and superstitious concept of God.

If Unicorn-deniers and Unicorn-believers were honest with themselves, they would be Unicorn-agnostic.

I find it so irritating when a Unicorn-denier talks down to a Unicorn-believer. Neither of them has evidence to prove his point.

In this universe, we are a tiny spec.Our planet is like a dust particle in comparison to the rest of the universe, and yet Unicorn-deniers think they know for certain there's no unicorns? Fuck off.

Unicorn-agnostics are the only group of people who are honest and rational with the current scientific knowledge we have.

The man who say "I don't know" when faced with an idea that he does have knowledge on is at least honest.

tl;dr: Both Unicorn-deniers and Unicorn-believers are dishonest.

>>872115
Every atheist I know or have talked to online says they are agnostic when asked. Agnosticism vs gnosticism answers a different question than theism versus atheism.

>For example Did the Chinese know of Rome
Yes. Rome and the Eastern Roman Empire/Byzanties is called Daqin/Fulin.
>and Medieval Europe?
Chinese took the word of the Muslims and called everyone there "Folangqi." From the Arabic "Ferenggi," meaning "Franks." Byzantium is the limit of fucks China gave about Europe during medieval times.

I dont know. Why the fuck not I guess.

Maybe you're biased by being a human and therefore search for meaning where there isn't any, since understanding causality and searching for meaning has been necessary for our development.

>What is existence?
A meme made up by humans that fails to address the way things are and posits unfounded claims about the way things could be.

Whatever you want fampai

It blew up on your hands, faggot

They could have trained soldiers to work on these guns and relode faster the the guns they used in those times and at a faster rate and both types of guns would probably cost about the same to produce.

>the winchester rifle didn't come 5 years earlier

When do we learn about Japan??

FUCKING BRITS RUIN EVERYTHING!

Italy was in world war 2?

I assume that due to the English language being changed through conquest ect they just got replaced
No clue about why they aren't still in Scandinavian

>>871443
are those the pronunciations next to the letter?

>>871689
No, just the names. Though they are linked to the pronunciation of them.
Æ = "aa" like in "that"
Ð = "th"
Þ = "th"
Ƿ = "W"

Naw, nihilism just goes through Hegelianism and gets better.

eat a big tupperware of mushrooms alone in your apartment and then ask yourself the question the next day

>>871027
You think about it for a while but then you move on with your life.
