Plato is a faggot but so is OP.

>>865037
5/10 bait, maybe someone will fall for it

>>865039

I think of the two OP is a much bigger faggot.

Britain itself is a small bunch of islands.
During WWII these islands were blockaded by the Germans making it hard to get all of these resources and men to and from these islands.
Also a large chunk of British overseas territory was attacked and/or taken by opposing forces.

Germany on the other hand was landlocked, and once it had conquered western Europe it was free to move manpower and materials around the continent as it liked.

I think you might have over simplified your view on Britain during ww2

Britain and it's empire outproduced Germany by close to 2:1 margin.

Literal bandits and marauders and little else. So yeah, scum.

Oh shit! I didn't realize there was a Benardete lecture up. Are there any others?

i've never seen a thread abuot classicists here. i want to get into it myself, where do i start?

>>856569
Are you asking where should you start with studying the classics?

>>869102
>philosophy notes a little while ago
Which?

>>869110
he walls of text that a few anons responded to. It is entirely possible you had not seen them at all.

>>869116
Link to the thread?

There wasn't really a clean split and there's evidence that the Christian faction that became the RCC aggressively converted or stamped out pretty much anyone who disagreed with them.

>>867782
Christians and Jews had a long and complicated relationship even back then. For a good portion of early Christianity, you first had to convert to Judaism. For much of Roman history before Constantine, neither religions were 'oppressed'. They were tolerated so long as they paid a special tax to the Empire in loo of emperor worship.

>>867958
There was a clear split after Bar Kokhba

What makes you think he read Hegel?

If anything he read Heidegger properly.

>>867602
He went on about thesis and antithesis and shit

>>867607
Hegel didn't do that, tbqh. Not to a noteworthy extent, especially compared to other philosophers.

Mondragon Corporation
Kibbutzim
Worker Cooperative Movements

Depends what you mean by "socialism."

Here's the meme-level response, because I don't care enough to post anything substantial:

I'm American, so I think the military budget needs a severe cut. Use that to give some tax relief, welfare, pay the national debt or whatever is needed. That budget is a wasteful goldmine.

>In your country, do you feel the taxes on the rich are too low/high?
The whole taxation system and administration is broken as hell, so it doesn't matter.
>Do you feel the poor get too many/few benefits?
Whatever the agenda, shit never gets done. So, doesn't matter again.
>What would be your ideal layout for this?
Non-economic measures, like strengthening law and bureaucracy, transparency accountability, etc. Deliberative and participative action.

Why have the bourgeoisie not yet been overthrown and liquidated.

We're olympus

>>864585
Both comparisons are way of. Closer role to Athens would be /a/.

Byzantium

Now hear me out. We're very new, we've got an interesting topic that should have been given a board earlier (Byzantium was relatively new, and was located in a great place) and we're very much interested in History, while Byzantium was fairly important, from what I hear.

>rome
>does not control rome

There's no empire anywhere in the area anymore though.

>>864207
There's the EU.
Arguably, if you want to include Anatolia, you could expand the definition to NATO and it's Mediterranean Partnership Program it holds with Israell, Jordan, Morroco, Algeria and Egypt, but this would expand the definition of Roman Empire to North America, which, altogether with the Meditteranean/Europe, is more Atlantic than Mediterranean. No wonder it's called North Atlantic Treaty Organization, so the EU would be a better call, despite not holding ME and NA.

>Why was sub-Saharan Africa not developed (historically) as much as their Eastern and Western counterparts?

Tsetse flies, malaria, yellow fever, lack of any staple crops until the southeast asian crop package arrived, regular coastline, no calm rivers, 2nd or 3rd lowest world population density, etc.

>Why do we not see or hear of great empires, cities, architecture, or historical figures?
Because assuming you're not from Africa its history if irrelevant to you

Much like how Americans know fuck-all about siberia, polynesia, and australia

Or sometimes europe for that matter unless they're heritagefags

>>863975
but I'm aware of the greeks, romans, ottomans
