Will I learn anything from reading Plato, Aristotle and the like? Or should I stick to the stoics?

Yes, you will learn many things.
You should put the Stoics to one side for now, and only read them if you find it helpful and comforting on a practical level.
The greatest texts produced by humanity were written between the 5th and 3rd century BC in Hellas and China. The stoic works from that period are lost, at least for now.

If the Franks had converted to Islam, would something like the Crusades still have happened, as a violent fever of particularly aggressive Germanic/European hajjis wanting to kill Jews and Shiites?
Take into consideration that the Normans were an irritation against the Byzantines in Sicily and that their heritage was basically a mix of Viking and French.

Consider this.
If the Germanic tribes never became Christian and invaded Rome as Pagans would something like the crusades have still happened?

How would Poland have fared had the they asked for Romania's help? Was it really a smart choice to simply use them as a neutral buffer and a route to supply their troops from the south?

The Romanian army would not be able to save Poland. They would have to fight the Soviets and the Germans at the same time, and their army wasn't very strong.
>>
>>3155769
The Poles had one excellent opportunity to crush Germany, and that was by siding with the technologically sophisticated Czechs. But instead they stabbed the Czechs in the back in exchange for a tiny sliver of land that they lost again when the Nazis turned on them.

What's the run down of his forces pre glorified ambush and take down of the RAPACIOUS German Mercanaries?
I see it like this
>weak
>cold
>starving
>injured
>dwindling
Yet they somehow cross the Delaware and within a day engage in an ambush/ capture or one of the most badass fighters of the time.
Why do I have a hardtime buying this?
Did Washington have reinforcements Im not accounting for?

Spanish civil war and the outcome of national syndicalism

In this thread, i would like to discuss the premisses of the spanish national syndicalist movement that took place in the XXth century in Iberia (during the 30's, being of utmost importance for the analysis of the spanish civil war from the nationalist's perspective and context) as well as the outcome of the said civil war and the repercussions it had in the Iberian Peninsulae. Exercise of hipothetical and fictional outcomes are allowed in this specific thread.
>Key historical figures (for this discussion):
1. Ramiro Ledesma Ramos; founder of the JONS (junta de ofensiva nacional-sindicalista); 1905-1936
2. Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera; founder of the FE (falange espanola) 1903-1936;
3. Onesimo Redondo; important member of the JONS even tough with a more nationalistic-catholic aproach; 1905-1936 (was married to Mercedes Sanz-Bachiller Izquierdo)
4. Francisco Franco, leader of the carlists (conservative monarchists) and of the nationalist army, 1892-1975
>I will start by stating a brief explanation on what was the national-sindicalist movement:
The national sindicalist movement was created by Ramiro Ledesma Ramos (a young spanish intelectual and philosopher who was seen with great-esteem by his professors) accordingly to the rise of nationalist and fascist movements troughout europe… seen as what could be perceived as a revival of XIXth century romantism, an analogy that i personnally like.
Ramiro Ramos devised a movement of his own, he understood that national movements should be directly applied to each countries specificities so he endorsed most of his ideas from leftist thinkers and economists but culturally chose to remain against globalism, internationalism and fiercely pro-nation sieged on the spanish historical base.

Later on, Ramiro Ramos allied his forces with Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of a more conservative fascist faction, the FE (spanish phalanx). Together they gained a lot of power but in the end (some claim due to personal reasons) they went separate ways with Ramiro Ramos accusing Primo de Rivera as a "sectarian conservative" and like the other european aristocrats that founded fascist movements (like Edward Mosley in England) he claimed that he was too disatached from the struggles of the people to have a true revolutionary line of tought.
Later on due to this fragilisation, both of them died during the war while Francisco Franco, a pure conservative, took advantage of their deaths to rise in power, endorse the national-sindicalist and falangist aesthetics and pervert it towards some kind of ultra-reactionary catholic dictatorship… In other words, Ramiro's fears had come to life. The nationalist revolution was lost to the hands of the reactionaries.
I will close this small dissertation by admitting that Ramiro Ramos's politics were way more cohese and interesting but even if he won his rule would be of short duration because he had plans of engaging the WWII by Hitler's side resulting in the devastation of Spain, unfortunately.
Thank you for your attention, feel free to discuss and construct your own opinions on the subject.

Why would we want to see things from the nationalist point of view when it's far more interesting to study the revolutionary government, where it succeeded and how it failed because of rampant interference from fascist governments in the region.

The iconic image of Guevara is a brave fighter who would do anything for a good cause. So it's only sad how, analyzing his history, to see how he got used by everybody.
It's no coincidence that Guevara most common things are phrases and photos. Souvenirs used from time to time for all sort of purpose. But in the end, just a romanticized canon fodder
