First of all there exists some pseudo-antithesis between Marxism & Capitalism.

The economic factor exercises a hypnosis and a tyranny over modern man.

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.

Marxism does not differ very much from the "Western" views of prosperity: both Weltanschauungen [worldviews] essentially coincide, as do their practical applications. In both Marxism and free-market economies we find the same materialistic, antipolitical, and social view detaching the social order and people from any higher order and higher goal, positing what is "useful" as the only purpose by turning the "useful" into a criterion of progress, the values proper to every traditional structure are inverted.

Capitalism is not necessarily preferable to socialism. Marx, whom can be quoted to devise any sort of 'Marx' of your own, once said that capitalism develops the productive capacities needed for socialism (and later communism) to take off.

To answer your question, I've noticed that one of the popular lines of enquiry is "why hasn't socialism replaced capitalism yet?" Antonio Gramsci wrote about hegemonies and consent (I somehow got a First in an essay marked by a Marxist even though I critiqued Gramsci - the academic referenced Gramsci a lot in his work), and David Harvey wrote about the 'Spatial-Temporal Fix' in that 'capitalism' prolongs itself by moving into new spaces (such as the developing world) or invests into long-term projects in order to restore declining profit margins.

I kinda agree. England was enjoying a winning streak in the late 1600's and early 1700's. However, England won because they chose the right alliances, and France fought wars either alone or with a single ally or two.

I'd consider France, without alliances, to be the greatest power; I don't think any nation would win 1 vs 1 at this moment and that will be true for many, many years ahead.

England is rising at a really fast rate, but it is far from superpower status (England is the quickest grower by far in this period however).

________

Meanwhile, in the year 1700, Charles II, one of the worst King to ever rule Spain (mentally retarded and infertile), finally dies after a grueling reign of 35 years (most expected him to die in at least 5 years). The Empire of Spain was losing things left and right, and the bureaucracy and military significantly decayed during this period. Spain in the 1700's will enjoy a devastating succession war and inner tensions thanks to the legacy of Charles II.
___________

Ottoman Empire is not yet the "Sick man of Europe" but it will be in 50 years. For now, it is still a superpower in sheer size and manpower; it still beats Austria and slavic nations (including Russia) in a fairly solid fashion.

___________

Austria up to this point enjoyed a good amount of victories as it chose the right alliances and diplomats. However, it will be shown that by the early 1700's, Austria's military is decaying and waning as it lost wars that Austria fought alone or with only a few allies. It seems like it can't hold itself up. The Ottomans still beat Austria when her allies are not available.

>Why is he a meme on here?
One person routinely spams this board with posts about him, then posts replies to his own posts to make it seem like Mosley is some sort of hot topic. In addition, this spammer creates numerous pictures of Mosley in an attempt to reinforce the already forced meme.

It's a shame that /pol/-tier memes are being forced on every board.

>Can somebody explain this guy to me?
He bought his way into parliament and was unable to handle his own mediocrity.

>Why is he a meme on here?
He's a british fascist.

>Why was he such a failure?
Because the white armies organised to defeat the general strike represented the real spirit of British fascism.

>Why is he included in the list of top ten saddest anime deaths?
Because a hundred thousand londoners turned out to beat him to death.

>Can somebody explain this guy to me?

A member of British parliament who never quite could fit in, yet still had the respect of his peers. During his career he originally was elected as a Conservative, before a brief flirtation with Liberalism, eventually sitting with the Labour party becoming an early advocate of Keynesian economics. When his party was elected to government in 1929 he was given a titular ministerial position, but with responsibility for unemployment. He eventually fell into conflict with his seniors in the cabinet who rejected his policies of mass public works to decrease unemployment and bring profit over time repeatedly, resigning his position in 1930. He finally left the party on 1931 when his policies were rejected narrowly by the national party convention, taking 6 other members of parliament with him to a form a new party, the 'New Party'. After an opportunity to visit Mussolini in 1931 he believed that the only future was fascism, and set about creating his own model of British fscism, renaming his movement the British Union of Fascists, the moment his career died. Mosley's own policies slowly became neglected in his own movement, with members of the old British fascistii becoming the dominant force by 1934 along with future splitters, and the party which had slowly began to grow and had some press support, lost all credibility with the increasing opposition to fascism abrosd, and antisemitism being brought to the table, but he never left and remained as leader until the end when he was imprisoned in 1940. By the end of WWII he was nothing more than an old establishment voice that the new far right used to announce their policies, after two failed attempts to run for parliament again in the 1960s he left Britain for the final time to live out his years suffering from Parksinsons, dying aged 84 in 1980.

A man who wanted what he saw as the best for his country, who destroyed his career and reputation in the process.

Check the Basques and the proposed 'Vasconic' languages. My question is whether the Picts are a non-IE group?
they predated the Celts and were eventually Celticized. Perhaps Basques are distant relatives.

We don't know a hell of a lot for certain--there are a lot of interesting data points but a lot that we can't reach firm conclusions about.
We know that agriculture was not an indigenous development; it spread to Europe through a major wave of migration from Anatolia. Oetzi was a representative member of this farmer population; Sardinians are the closest population today, though not as representative as is sometimes suggested.
We don't really know the origins of the Vasconic or Tyrsenian language families. Vasconic could be indigenous or could be from the Anatolian farmers. Tyrsenian could be from them as well, or could be from a later wave of migration in the Copper Age. Hard to really say as of yet.

>I shudder when I think of the catastrophes of our time. For twenty years and more the blood of Romans has been shed daily between Constantinople and the Julian Alps. Scythia, Thrace, Macedonia, Dardania, Dacia, Thessaly, Achaia, Epirus, Dalmatia, the Pannonias— each and all of these have been sacked and pillaged and plundered by Goths and Sarmatians, Quades and Alans, Huns and Vandals and Marchmen. How many of God's matrons and virgins, virtuous and noble ladies, have been made the sport of these brutes!

That sounds like a libertarian paradise come true.
But seriously, I think that, if you go for a more long-term kind of apocalyptic end of civilization, I think the late bronze age crisis is the worst: civilizations in the balkans, anatolia and the levant ceased to exist in a period of a hundred years. Among this you have volcanoes, destruction o crops and bands of pirates, mercenaries and raiders roaming the Mediterranean looking for something to loot. The only civilization that barely survived were the egyptians,but only after a brutal war with the sea peoples. it also ended the period of charioteer warfare, because the social class that conformed the charioteers were destroyed.

They mixed with Iberians and together molded the modern Spaniard.

conquered by Persia, conquered by Macedon, and later finished off by Rome.

Though that isn't to say it was a weak society, Carthage is arguably Rome's most powerful challenge in their rise to power, with Carthage trading blow for blow and lasting 100 years against them.

But yeah in the end they lost to simple conquest, as most nations did.

Also they weren't as Militaristic and didn't take the Punic War as seriously as the Romans did, The Fact that The Cathagians reached Italy Made the Romans fanatics while many in Carthage went out to hinder the efforts for their own political Gains

The guy talks about high middle ages, where West discovered (from arabs and greeks) a lot of the lost works.

He could try to make an argument with Caralus Magnus, but I think just using High-Late Middle ages to refute dark age meme is a bad sport.

Saying this as a PhD fag who doesn't believe in the dark ages meme.
