Could not compete against the free market system.

>>531885
Of course, communism isn't made to compete. It's like comparing grenades to houses.

Example:

War is bad for the people, but good for the economy (capitalist). So when there are wars (or proxy wars), capitalism (for the economy) will always profit and communism (for the people) will suffer. And because it's easier to start wars, capitalism will reenforce nationalism and radicals, leading to war and capitalism coming out "more successful".

Resources wasted on war, are resources that could be put into education, health system, science and agriculture (etc.). All of these things are good for life, war is not. But the artificial concept of nationalism blinds people, and leads them to reevaluate their "priorities".

Currently the west is the best (economically speaking), but if that changes, we will be the ones that suffer and slave for others. Then We won't be saying that capitalism is the best, but we won't have to power and position to say anything at all either.

But yeah, as long as we have gigantic shopping centered and other mass consumerists distractions, we do have a fantastic life. Woo Mc Donalds!

>>531885
Oh boy, propaganda memes.

Not only is this is this obviously historically incorrect, it doesn't even hold up to rudimentary analysis. China is stronger than ever. Cuba, the conservative stalwart is still chugging along. North Korea is probably the worst off economically but that clearly is not stopping it. The USSR at its end was one of the most liberal of the Soviet style countries.

I'll agree but we should say that we owe it to greek and christian philosophy both, they have been intertwined from the beginning.

I like how you started off with Christainity and Judaism and then switched straight off to Christainity, while posting a picture of a mosque. Also, skipping over enormous intellectual, military, political, etc. events and just chalking it up to 'Christainity' while demonstrating nothing of the sort.


4/10 personally enjoyed, despite knowing it was stupid.

>>531806
Not even close. Your pictures is also misleading considering the Muslim building is 700 years older than its Christian counterpart.

Islam being a system of governance quickly expanded and united lands that had been some of the richest in the Roman Empire (east and west) and the entire area of the sassanid empire. They simply had a better infrastructure at their disposal.

Best islam is dead islam.

>>531806

Yes, Christians took over the lead by late 1100s. Afterwards, there was a transmission of inventions from Europe into the middle east, not the other way around.

>the Muslim building

Dude, Dome of the Rock was built by Byzantine craftsmen and is considered a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture.

>>531773
If there is a God, then agnosticism is fake.

If there is no God, then agnosticism is fake.

One is true, the other isn't.

Therefore agnosticism is fake.

>mfw agnostic about agnosticism

Does that make one an agnostic agnostic?

>agnosticism isn't real
>agnosticism might be real

>>531773
Meant there, not their.

>>531780
Is there any evidence supporting theism?

Is there any evidence supporting atheism?

No?

Then neither can be stated to be true.

Assigning things to Thales and Pythagoras is a bit silly senpai

Same reason Tajikistan's borders are fucked. Divide and conquer. Also Russia's economy was down the shitter in the 90s while its army was occupied fighting Chechens.

>>531779
>its army was occupied fighting Chechens
And Moldovans.
And Georgians.
And Tajiks.

Armenians and Azeris just took care of the fighting part themselves, so Russia now supports the weaker side in order to make the region permanently fucked.

Armenia is basically encircled by enemies with zero perspectives but Azerbaijan can't resolve conflict with Russia backing Armenia.

Muslim scum, but not terrible Muslim scum, apparently?

he was black

Overrated as fuck compared to Khalid bin al Walid.

if you're gay you can't have kids to spread the religion to

They're all closeted, just check them cardinals and their cardinal sinz

>>531432

Cause religion is about banning stuff.

>>531372
homosexuality is found in ''nature'' => homosexuality is acceptable for humans

>>531388
please do not read about cannibalism of spiders.

>>531388

what are you on about?

the reasons for that question can and have filled books

even the gist of those reasons would be enormous

>Christianity

Living forever in paradise sounds good to people with short lifespans and live in complete hellholes

>Islam
Same as above, plus 4 wives and slaves

>Buddhism
Ceasing to ever suffer sounds good

>Why is the vast majority of Europe Christian and not Norse/Roman/Celtic, for example?
A mixture of wanting access to the christian mediterranean wealth, forced conversions, and asshole pagan gods being unappealing to one who directly loves everybody with no need for blood and suffering

>why has Hinduism remained so strong as a religion?
Hinduism can absorb anything and still be Hinduism

>Jesus?

Avatar of Vishnu

>Buddha?

Avatar of Vishnu

>Atheist?

Still a legitimate path

>Jewish?

Still a legitimate path

>Zoroastrian?

Still a legitimate path

Good theological frameworks supporting them, large canons of texts etc.

Julian the Apostate was trying to fit Roman Paganism into a neo-platonist framework -- shame he died before it could be finalised.

War crimes and international justice didn't exist back then so no.

>>531527
War crimes certainly did, go watch Breaker Morant.

Romans build enough infrastructure there to help them become the top dog.

>>531265
So what happened to Italy and muh Byzantines?

>>531269
Well Byzantine was the top dog for long before France, until it fell to different religion. And well Italian towns (Venice, Florence, Milan) were really powerful, but because nobody managed to unite these city states (because they were so powerful, nobody wanted to succumb under rule of anyone else) they eventually lost the quantity>quality war.

Who's us? This past decade will be seen as the time of the "smartphone"/technology revolution when technology became smaller, faster, and more powerful.

>>531183
Historians don't work that way mate. History has existed since the early 19th century with works like Ranke. Given the history of ideas there are two outcomes: either history fades as an intellectual fad, or it transmogrifies into something we cannot expect to know.

>>531199
The study of past has been happening longer than that Rankedroid

Europe was entirely Christian in the 13 century besides Muslim Spain.
Also women doing what?

>>531058
Please be helpful.

Hey man... you forget witch hunting... and there have been pagan rites in southern Italy as far as 20th Century (see, e.g. Ernesto de Martino's ethnography on the subject matter).

Wizardry, witch-hunt was a thing... it was part of christianization.

I believe a lot of pagan practices survived for a long time in Europe. I am sure some of you have done research on the subject.
