Israel: kikes, never trust them.
Spain: anarchist revisionism. Totalitarianism disregarding human rights, and private enterprise.

What must be questioned is not the value of this or that economic system, but the value of the economy itself. Thus, despite the fact that the antithesis between capitalism and Marxism dominates the background of recent times, it must be regarded as a pseudo-antithesis. In free-market economies, as well as in Marxist societies, the myth of production and its corollaries (e.g., standardization, monopolies, cartels, technocracy) are subject to the "hegemony" of the economy, becoming the primary factor on which the material conditions of existence are based. Both systems regard as "backward" or as "underdeveloped" those civilizations that do not amount to "civilizations based on labor and production"—namely, those civilizations that, luckily for themselves, have not yet been caught up in the feverish industrial exploitation of every natural resource, the social and productive enslavement of all human possibilities, and the exaltation of technical and industrial standards; in other words, those civilizations that still enjoy a certain space and a relative freedom. Thus, the true antithesis is not between capitalism and Marxism, but between a system in which the economy rules supreme (no matter in what form) and a system in which the economy is subordinated to extra-economic factors, within a wider and more complete order, such as to bestow a deep meaning upon human life and foster the development of its highest possibilities. This is the premise for a true restorative reaction, beyond "Left" and "Right," beyond capitalism's abuses and Marxist subversion

>And since I cannot pour faith into their hearts, I cannot nor should I, force anyone to have faith. That is God's work alone, who causes faith to live in the heart...We should preach the Word, but the results must be left solely to God's good pleasure."

-Martin Luther

The difference between Rome and the Reformers was the difference between coercion and liberty.

>>847909
Not saying Lither didn't have good points, and the church certainly did some very bad things. I'm more interested in talking about how it was the Protestant Reformation that allowed Christianity to turn into how its seen today, i.e. the evangelical US churches.

>>847909
>Prepare to type up a serious response
>See a Jack Chick tract
>Stop
Even if that's true, coercion and liberty are not so much a dichotomy as a dialectic

Ancient finnish empire.

Slant eyed knights.

>>847480
slant eyed knights with worse but arguably better looking armour

>>847472

Probably not. They were pretty good at killing peasants and they practiced drawing their swords really fast. Even with all their hand-to-hand training they wouldn't be able to just superman their way into a peasant pike brigade. Instead they were really good at archery (and marksmanship, once the matchlock was introduced). They were also formidable on horseback.

During a samurai duel you could maybe see a guy get cut in half with one slash. However they often didn't wear armor during duels so that's not really a surprise.

In a one on one situation, your typical samurai had the training and experience to easily defeat the average peasant soldier. However, multiply the number of armed peasants and this becomes more difficult. It would've been pretty difficult for a lone samurai to defeat five determined men who were armed even with improvised weapons.

>>847118
probably one made by a modern smith. metal work has really improved since they were practical weapons

>>847118
You mean 'favorite sword', right? Type XVIa

I once watched a one-hour documentary of a modern French guy hand-forging an entire sword with case.
Breddy cool.

Economics is a Popperian science nigger.

Anyway, nation building is political economy.

Because it was a period of intense prosperity precipitated by the economic boom of the postwar economy that largely served the interests of white men. Like a third of the US population ascended into the suburban middle class between 1950-1970. Union membership was high and wages grew, the government heavily subsidized education and housing through the GI bill, establishing hundreds of thousands of veterans, segregation and northern racially exclusive practices ensured a large working class in major cities to work in the service sector/shitty underpaid jobs.

The predominant narrative, the white suburban middle class one, was most ingrained in our culture through the media and other nostalgic recollections that began right around the emergence of the countercultural movement in the 60s, which most Americans despised.

Because of fucking faggots that saw happy days and some old james dean movies and decided it was cool.

Despite being born after the 50's.

Slippery slope.

>>846388
The encyclical came out in 1968, almost 50 years ago.
Now look at what it said and see if it's warnings exist at all in modern day.

It's far past the timeframe for "slippery slope" to be immediately applicable in discussion.

>>846418
Well it's not like in all time periods up to now, all men cherished their wives, and only now do men feel suddenly abusive. Now at least women have a say in the pregnancy situation.

Ultimately our society is better off with access to medical treatment than having it be banned by religious institutions.

It wasn't just that he was gay, it was his experiments into construction of hydraulic penises that really got him into hot water.

Being gay doesn't make him more interesting. I'd be more interested in a film where a computer is the main character than I was in a film where a homosexual fell in love with a computer.

>>845827
>Being gay doesn't make him more interesting


And it wouldn't. The fact his gayness let to betrayal and abuse by his own country does.
It really is one of the more biting tragedies I know of. A mind so brilliant and capable ruined by something so petty.
