States can already set their own minimum wage, just not below the federal minimum wage of 7.25.

Really vulcanizes my vagina.

I wonder how the US will cope with the increasing use of automation in the economy. Some jobs are more difficult to automate than others, but how long will the trend of automation continue before joblessness due to automation reaches a point in which the government is forced to act. Will they simply tax it to prevent the shift in the workforce for as long as possible? Will they introduce a living wage? Will the oligarchical mess we and our predessesors made simply collapse in itself?

Depends. I live in Pennsylvania so I remember learning quite a bit of colonial history (including local history), but I can understand someone in Missouri or California not learning much of it in school.

There were no "Americans" before the independence movement. There were Virginians and New Yorkers etc... etc...

>However, it was WW2, not WW1, that the Germans managed to slip ships out of the North Sea and go raiding on British convoys with more than just u-boats. How the hell did that happen? What changed that let them get out?

Two main reasons:

1: In WW2, the KM objective was to intensify convoy raiding as much as possible, even with the addition of surface ships, because they knew they'd never be able to directly challenge the RN in open battle. In WW1, with a larger fleet, they believed they could directly challenge the RN in open battle, and so sought to defeat the RN, instead of go convoy raiding. Another major factor here is that in WW1, the KM had only a few small ports in northern Germany that they could retreat to, so without colonial infrastructure, if they made it past the blockade, the RN could quite literally chase them around the Atlantic until they ran out of coal, by stationing a large fleet close to the German mainland, forcing them to either spend the war cooped up in a neutral port, or fight an engagement at the mouth of their own ports, while in WW2, all of the northern European coastline, from Norway to France was occupied, giving them hundreds of potential retreat points, and making the RN preventing their retreat much more difficult.

2: In WW1, Germany was the only central power with anything resembling a battle-ready fleet, so the RN could concentrate its efforts on the North Sea blockade. In WW2, the RN was engaged against the IJN in East Asia, and the RM in the Mediterranean, both theatres requiring the spreading of RN resources, manpower, and ships, leading to a much smaller North Sea blockade force.

>>2856318

The answer is that German WW2 battleships were just really damn fast compared to most other battleships. Scharnhorst and her sister both topped out at around 31 knots, whereas most British battleships topped out around 23 knots. The switch from coal to gasoline as the primary power source also allowed for much greater range, allowing a small group of warships to operate much more independently than was possible during WW1. But Britain's superior numbers still meant that German ships were mostly confined to the Baltic Sea and North Sea. They did occasionally get something into the Atlantic, but that was a rare and risky thing. After Bismark was lost, no more sorties into the Atlantic were attempted because they simply couldn't afford any more losses.

>The switch from coal to gasoline as the primary power source also allowed for much greater range

This is not really true.

The Konig-class dreadnoughts were equipped with coal fueled steam turbines, and had a range of about 8,000nmi, while the Bismarck, with its oil powered boilers, only had a range of 8,500nmi.

The only difference was the efficiency of the ranges, the Konig-class being capable of such range at a cruising speed of around 12 knots, while the Bismarck's cruising speed was 19 knots.

As far as I know it was this idea that the northwest coast of America and the west coast of Canada were so different in their own cultures that they wanted to split off into their own nation with liberalism and shit. The same idea had been also sort of preached with the concept of the state of Jefferson

Muhammad was a white man
>While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: "Who amongst you is Muhammad?" At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, "This white man reclining on his arm." The man then addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib."
A white man who owned black slaves
>I came and behold, Allah's Apostle was staying on a Mashroba (attic room) and a black slave of Allah's Apostle was at the top if its stairs. I said to him, "(Tell the Prophet) that here is 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (asking for permission to enter)." Then he admitted me.

Muhammad was a white man who owned black slaves

He was a proud claymore-wielding, red-haired Irish warrior chieftain.

This reads like a chronicle of pure idiocy:
>Mussolini's Under-Secretary for War Production, Carlo Favagrossa, had estimated that Italy could not possibly be prepared for major military operations until at least October 1942. This had been made clear during the Italo-German negotiations for the Pact of Steel, whereby it was stipulated that neither signatory was to make war without the other earlier than 1943. Although considered a great power, the Italian industrial sector was relatively weak compared to other European major powers. Italian industry did not equal more than 15% of that of France or of Britain in militarily critical areas such as automobile production: the number of automobiles in Italy before the war was around 374,000, in comparison to around 2,500,000 in Britain and France. The lack of a stronger automotive industry made it difficult for Italy to mechanize its military. Italy still had a predominantly agricultural-based economy, with demographics more akin to a developing country (high illiteracy, poverty, rapid population growth and a high proportion of adolescents) and a proportion of GNP derived from industry less than that of Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Sweden, in addition to the other great powers. In terms of strategic materials, in 1940, Italy produced 4.4 megatonnes (Mt) of coal, 0.01 Mt of crude oil, 1.2 Mt of iron ore and 2.1 Mt of steel. By comparison, Great Britain produced 224.3 Mt of coal, 11.9 Mt of crude oil, 17.7 Mt of iron ore, and 13.0 Mt of steel and Germany produced 364.8 Mt of coal, 8.0 Mt of crude oil, 29.5 Mt of iron ore and 21.5 Mt of steel. Most raw material needs could be fulfilled only through importation, and no effort was made to stockpile key materials before the entry into war. Approximately one quarter of the ships of Italy's merchant fleet were in foreign ports at the outbreak of hostilities, and, given no forewarning, were immediately impounded.

>On 2 February 1940, however, Mussolini approved a draft contract with the Royal Air Force to provide 400 Caproni aircraft; yet he scrapped the deal on 8 February. The British intelligence officer, Francis Rodd, believed that Mussolini was convinced to reverse policy by German pressure in the week of 2–8 February, a view shared by the British ambassador in Rome, Percy Loraine.
So even as late as February 1940, Mussolini had a chance to back off and join the other side.
What a buffoon.

It was always the case, because Socialism was always global in scope and aim. Socialism wants a One World Government that controls the means of production.

>>2855814

No it doesn't, there are plenty of closed borders socialists, they're just out of fashion with the youth so you don't hear much about them. For example, Jeremey Corbyn, the leader of the British Labour Party, is in favor of restricting or outright ending immigration because he understands that immigration only serves to drive down wages and harms the working poor.

there was no multiculturalism in marxists states, there was just a sort of national identity folklore with lots of ''brotherhood and unity'' or equivalent, the whole point was your culture didnt matter, youre gonna do as romans do while in rome and thats that, integrate assimilate, cause no problems

>>2855669
There's a possibility that the Soviets would turn on them because the German communists were anti-Leninist. It's also likely that the capitalist powers would put pressure on Germany or invade it, then blame socialism when it collapsed.
