Is this the modern-day Thermopylae?
>every time the Serbs took down the flag two Croats would go up to replace it and draw fire so others could gather supplies

>>3027096
No, it's just a shit mismanagement on the part of the Serbs. Morale was extremely low, the draft turnout was at 11%, the army didn't really know what it wanted to achieve, the government treated it more like Tiananmen than a battle. Milosevic thought that sending tanks would magically make them surrender, like he did when he Tiananmen'd protesters in Belgrade a few months earlier.

>invading armies usually have less motivation than defending armies in most cases.
This was a time in Yugoslav wars when the forces standing against the 'mighty' YNA werent organized as armies or units and every town was defended by ex soldiers that lived there. So of course Serbs sucked major dong because the people there were ready to die for their families.
There's something magical about mid-20th century space exploration

Why are 1930s cartoons so disturbing and alien?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xZocdDR9WM
yeah cartoons actually having 5 fingers is pretty alien
Film was a new medium, and animation especially is a vessel to channel the abnormal and unconventional. Actually, the early 30's is when animation started becoming a little less bizarre. Pure weirdness is more of a 20's and before thing. I'd say around 1933/4-ish is when many of the absurdities became more refined. The one you posted is remembered fondly likely because it exists in the weird transition period where things are the right level of intense.

What where the main differences between Marx's way of thinking an Lenin's? Which Way was superior?
>>3026864
Marx for theory, Lenin for praxis
>>3026873
Why
>>3026864
Marx's theory was more idealistic and philosophical. Humanity would one day transcend property and government, and all history is leading up to that point. A load of bollacks, but it reflected the times.
Lenin's was more political. You need to understand the French Revolution and Robespierre to understand him. The perfect world can only come about if it's filled with perfect people. Imperfection is a death sentence.
