Not really as it used to be French

>>2992826
It's an imperfect comparison, but a valid one.

One interesting thing in Quebec is that the national government is using immigration to water down the French-ness of the population, which is why the the secession referenda failed. I'm not aware of Iraq, Iran, Turkey, or Syria doing that.

probably yeah

So is this an attempt at a 'fuck the Mexicans!' thread or something?

That's a rather low standard

Yes!
In the Ottoman Empire white slaves were the most expensive of slaves, with virgin, young, pale, European girls being worth the most and the equivalent of 1000 pounds of meat. The Sultan personally had a harem dominated by his favorite slaves, which tended to be of Circassian, Balkan and Levantine origin. These women tended to be favored for their intelligence and the Sultan would pick one to birth the new Sultan. Progressively the next Sultan became more white" as time went on, and the mothers would exert copious amounts of influence on their children's actions, almost directly.
White male slaves had a more diverse set of roles; while some did farm work for nobles, usually consisting of a rather relaxed working schedule and semi-generous conditions, many came into the employment of the Sultan himself. The Great White Eunuch(official name btw) and his counterpart, the Great Black Eunuch, presided over the hundreds of black and white eunuchs who worked for the Ottoman government. White slave eunuchs tended to be employed in statistical, diplomatic and more required fields while black slave eunuchs increasingly were given parts that were closer to the Sultan, such as being in charge of the harem, one of the most important pieces of the grand Ottoman puzzle.
Finally, white slaves in the Ottoman Empire have their most notable roles; as Janissaries.
Trained from birth by force, they became the feared backbone of the Ottoman conquests and were employed as far up until the 1830s.
Though not often neutered, they were forbidden to have families and the increasing pressure to have families lead to their dissolution.
European children were kidnapped from their village in place of taxation and occasionally at random and imo found greater purpose then getting raped in the backwater of Europe.

the english word for slave literally comes from the arabic (and other) slave trade of slavs

I found this on wiki about the New Guineans, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etoro_people

The biggest problem the IJA had during WW2 was re-supplying their troops once they were planted on islands. American submarines would surround islands held by Japan and make it nearly impossible to bring in reinforcements. Japan's main way of getting around this was to have additional troops ride in on IJN destroyers. Destroyers are fast enough that submarines pose very little threat to them. The problem with doing this is that, well, destroyers just really aren't very good as troop transports. They don't have a lot of spare empty space for storage. You can't fit tanks or artillery inside of a destroyer, so troops are getting dropped off with light weapons and that's about it.

And then you've got the eternal problem of getting food & ammunition to troops once they've been dropped off. The best way to do this would be to simply bring in much-needed supplies on cargo ships. But again, submarines make that very difficult. Japan often tried to resupply troops by having destroyers swoop in near the island and dump food into the ocean in watertight packages, hoping that it would drift ashore where soldiers could collect it. The problem with this is that sometimes packages would drift out to sea rather than towards the shore. An even bigger problem is the fact that American soldiers can pick up these packages just as easily.

So really, it doesn't even matter how good you are at fighting if the enemy is able to completely control the environment around you. Sometimes, instead of attacking Japanese soldiers directly, Americans would just firebomb whatever food sources they could see on an island. Once potential food sources have been eliminated, the Japanese defenders are in a hopeless position because they can't bring in food supplies, whereas U.S. marines could easily bring in food on cargo ships.

This pretty much.

The combat prowess of the IJA didn't count for anything because their logistics were shit, just think about it for a second. In the early battles of the Pacific War, US Soldiers and Marines were going up against battle tested veterans of campaigns against the British and Americans. A lot of them put up stiff resistance but at the end it was all for nothing because Japan couldn't resupply them with the food and ammo to keep on fighting. Now what you get is Japan losing its veteran and NCO pool while the US Army and Marines built theirs up as well as losing valuable supplies to naval raids on their cargo ships.

Japan was fucked from the start, I don't think they could've maintained supply lines after the Battle of Midway.

Originally did good at jungle warfare against the Europeans such as UK at Hong Kong and Singapore but the European armies of the far east were poorly organised and had shit moral, after reorganization (seen for the UK under General Slim) the Japs weren't as effective being defeated badly at the battles of kohima and imphal (the two most underrated battles of ww2 imo).
In respect to fighting the Americans >>2990970 hit the nail on the head, the IJA would get trapped on the islands without resupply because the IJN would get their asses kicked by the USN. Further more the IJN and IJA hated each other, their rivalry was fucking insane like in the US the marines and Army have healthy competition with one another. In imperial Japan the two services would deny each other resources and funding with the IJN becoming the favorite child and the IJA suffering because of it. This can be seen with the IJA's shit tanks which were not up to western standard so when they faced the well trained new Commonwealth Army and the well supplied US marines they were mauled.
Tbqh the IJA is probably the most underrated and well performing Axis military service of ww2 and thats coming from an Anglo who is still bitter at the fall of Singapore which was a fucking embarrassment.
In spite of lack of funding and supplies they still did better than most other Axis forces even though they fought from 1937-45.

The 2010's is the most aesthetical decade because it can contain pretty much every aesthetic throughout history. The 1940's didn't have the aesthetics inherent to later times but present time can contain any aesthetic up to this point insofar as they are preserved. In short, as long as past aesthetics are preserved, present time will always be the most aesthetic.

Exactly, real Communism has never been tried.

>>2990122
No, because Marx was wrong on the "immiseration of the Proletariat". Wages in Europe largely increased in Europe starting in the 1840s, thus gradual things like unions and such were seen as good enough.

>Has Communism ever been implemented in a First World Late Stage Capitalist country

Let's unpack this.

First: Communism is not an ideology, it's an endgame. The word you're looking for is socialism.
Second: First World Late Stage Capitalist country
This only refers to near future scenarios, at a stretch you could say it's present, but be prepared to plead that case.
So your question is now: "has socialism been implemented in some future state like Marx said it should be?"
