You're now Pope Urban II before the First Crusade. What do you do? Do you stay on course and follow the same route he did or do you do something different instead?

Most highly developed countries go irreligious, the majority of the population is not interested in Religion anymore. The notable exception is the United states. How comes?

Because the US is a nation of immigrants and every year they accept millions of religious immigrants with high birthrates (Arabs, Mexicans, Black Africans)

What does /his/ think of modern day primitive people? What should be done with them
? Should their way of life be preserved? Should we study them to get a better idea of how our human ancestors lived?

There is no such thing as a primitive human in current time
They should decide what they want to do
They should decide what they may or may not want to keep
Tribal people are not static and have the same dynamic culture as the rest of us, humans were not dumber or less than long ago, we are much the same then as now.

requesting reading lists or recommendations for books that will give me firm understandings of Marxism, socialism, communism, capitalism, and political theories in general too.
Thanks.
[Inbe4 the "Short Intro" series- I already have those on a number of topics and they are as titled just short introductions. I want to be able to debate these issues with the firmest possible grasps of them].

Nice dubs
But these mostly sound like the primary sources, or the writings of Marx himself. I'm sure I'll prolly read them at some point but I'm after literature that discusses these theories critically
Let's post great anthems.

If Nazi Germany won world war 2 and took over Europe , would the Nazi rule be eventually overthrown or dissolve?

It would take a significant amount of changes in history to create a scenario where Nazi Germany would not only win World War II but control the entirety of Europe--even in the sphere of alternate history it'd be very hard to present a guess or prediction based on such a broad premise and to provide a viable path by which this would happen without risking it just becoming fanfiction.

>>469472
No it fucking wouldn't. You faggots are the worst.
If you don't have anything to say in an alt hist discussion don't say it at all.
Not everything is "Totally implausible and just speculation".
Here's a radical totally tubular idea for this thread. If Japan decided not to bomb PH and the U.S. doesn't enter the war.
There you go, Germany wins. It's not that insane to think.

Well I don't know what they did wrong. They conducted business, built shit, and made shit cheaper. They are only worthy of scorn if you believe in creationism tier Marxist economics.

Linguistics of /his/, how about creating a sex-based language?
That is, you express meaning and ideas from different sex positions and activities during the physical act of love.
We just need to develop a limited set of primitive actions, and combine them to form words.
Examples (to be performed on your partner):
- Spank ass
- Touch ass
- Touch clitoris in circle motion
- Put dick in mouth

Slapp.
Ksapp.
Ksayscro.
Liding.
Sl- denotes spanking. -app denotes the ass.
Ks- denotes touching/grabbing. -ay denotes clitoris.
-scro denotes in a circular motion.
Li- denotes dick. -ing denotes in mouth.
Things like of, the, and and would be eliminated for simplicity; primitivity.
Ksay naja! (Touch my clitoris harder! = Touch clitoris hard!)
Ksli mana, ruing mana zha. (Touch my dick softly, then put it in my mouth softly afterwards. = Touch dick soft, put mouth soft after.)
Things like that.

if he died for his own sins, to demonstrate that there's no reason to fear death. Just like Socrates died for the same reasons. Did the powers that were, the Pharisees and Sadducees, have him crucified because he was a free-thinker like Socrates?

I've never seen somebody be so wrong so quickly.. Children have a better understanding of this than you. At least fire up google for a few minutes before parading your ignorance, son.

>Socrates died to show us theres no reason to fear death
Didn't you ever read Crito?

How was Socrates death in any way a message about not fearing death? He only was fine with it because his feet hurt and all these sophists weren't true Athenians

For me, Manfred von Richthofen.
He was a legend, fought bravely, and did his duty to the last.
