True fact: American Communists played a notable role in the struggle against slavery.

From Philip S. Foner biographical introduction to Friedrich A. Sorge's "Labor Movement in the United States":
>The Communist Club of New York was not only the first Marxist organization in the Western Hemisphere; it was the only socialist (and labor) organization that invited blacks to join as equal members. Its constitution required all members to "recognize the complete equality of all persons—no matter of whatever color or sex." The club was also in the forefront of the struggle against slavery, and its members played an important role in mobilizing the German-American workers in opposition to the "peculiar institution." ....

>By 1860, these workers had become committed to a radical antislavery position. Moreover, men like Weydemeyer, Douai, and members of the Communist Club, including Sorge, formed a significant force in the Republican Party, seeking to push the party in a more radical direction, particularly in the direction of favoring the total abolition of slavery.

>When the Civil War began with the attack on Fort Sumter, most of the German radical organizations disbanded because the majority of their members enlisted in the Union forces. The New York Communist Club did not meet for the duration of the war since most of its members had joined the Union army.

We all know communism gathers all of the "undesirables" to for a political movement. It's the fact that after they take power, they kill all of the undesirables and then some.

Reminds me how Czech crusaders refused to continue from Venice by ships to Holy Land and returned home because they never seen sea before and were afraid of it.

yes

Roastie have always been fucking privileged compared to men who've been oppressed.

We have had to fight wars and conquer great lands and work fucking hard, while they relax and do FUCK ALL.

>Have women in Europe historically been oppressed, privileged or a mix of both?
Yes. (Anderson, Bonnie S. and Judith P. Zinsser. A History of Their Own: Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present)

What a vacuous question.

>>585279
Yes, because science is part of the humanities.

I always considered humanities to be arts, history to be social science. You can discuss the humanities in a historical context of course and I think that may have been an intention behind this board, but as it is now it's overbroad.

the dichotomy is flawed from the very beginning and creates a ghetto of knowledge that's "unapplicable"

I find it hard to apply advanced mathematics but nobody would dare to call it "humanities"

the Chinese have a thing about them being the most important thing in existence and not really wanting to bother outside their own sphere cause what's the point, they already have All under Heaven.

There's a commercially published crackpot theory that the Chinese treasure fleets discovered the Americas a few decades before Columbus got there. Largely discredited, however, but it may provide leads on your question.

>>584919
This. Why bother? There nothing we needed from the outside and when outsiders slow up they only want to trade with our merchants for accessories anyway.

>>584752
Robert Graves attempted this for Europe.

He produced a religion about sex cannibalism, women murdering men, and animal totems.

His "historical method" was to get high, read poetry and make stuff up. I'm not joking.

It isn't possible.
