What's your favorite socialist revolution? I prefer the Latin American ones.
>>39346
The Czechoslovakian one that Dubček supported.
>>39346
The Bernie Sanders one will "trump" them all.
No one has ever turned an economy this large socialist.
>>39346
To be honest, I really like nearly all of them.
Now for my favorite Socialist leader. This sassy lil nigga
What things in history defy most viewpoints of history, yet are true? For example, there is a Christian people in the middle east that continued to exist as a small minority with a separate language and shared heritage even after centuries of Muslim rule. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_people)
Anything like that, that seems to defy logic.
Easter Island heads aren't a real mistery.
The island used to be full of wood which the natives used to lever the rock with.
The fucks chopped all the wood and eventually had wood wars (huehue) until they had to leave the island.

How is a group of Christians surviving in a Muslim nation that surprising? They'd be guaranteed a semblance of toleration as 'people of the book'. Egypt has a population of Coptic Christians, Zoroastrians are still a thing in both iran and India, hell there's a remote tribe in Pakistan that claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great's soldiers and follow a pre-Zarathustran Iranian religion.
I'm having that tribe as my one BTW

how in the shit did they leave the island?
they probably lived there for a fuckton of time, did they actually make boats and just flee to what today is the Chile?
let's get a Rhodesia thread going

Has shitposting in some way or form always existed? Look at this shit http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm
Eternal shitposting. Shitposting transcends time and space.
>>39052
So what causes the natural human urge to shitpost?
And why do some countries i.e Australia feel the need to shitpost more than others?
>>39052
I was wondering when this thread would be posted.
Let's discuss Cossacks. Post stories, music, and comment on modern Cossacks emerging in Russia and Ukraine.

Cossack's are too underrated desu
i know that you'll consider this question a bit dumb, but were the cossacks following islam or something?
Why is there so much focus on Hitler and the Holocaust in the American school system? Year after year, we were reminded of the nazis and what happend to the Jews. However, why did we not ever learn about how many died under Stalin rule? Or during the rape of Nanking? Or under Pol Pot? Or under Mao Zedong? Why are the Nazis so vehemently vilified when other countries have done so much worse?
They want to demonize the true hero, Hitler, to make themselves look good for stopping him
white guilt
its in the media, news, literature, education system, etc etc
Mainly because WW2 was the most important event of the last century. You learn about the other things in more detail at university.
What the fuck is it?

Talk about the Konigreich. Keep discussion before the end of WWI. Post links to good resources. How different might things have been if Wilhelm had died before his abdication in 1918?
they were shit and their nationalism was laughable. literally comparable to MURICA fags today
totally deserved the international newspapers making fun of them with satire articles

http://www.deutsche-kaiserreich.de/
This site contains some pretty cool information and original imagery on Prussian provinces and towns (as well as all other member states of the German empire).
>>38881
How was their nationalism laughable? From all I've seen, standing against as many countries as they did in WWI and holding their own for so long is fairly respectable.
Is this doomed to be yet another conservative-oriented board? American historiography and its regulatory institutions, such as the AHA, are still hung up on the collectivist aspect of history. These are people who still think revisionism is a segregated practice/school of history.
Are there any post-structuralist historians here? Where my post-marxist bros at?
do you really need another liberal hugbox on the internet?
>>38686
All I'm asking is where the theory-related discussions at, and how can we move forward form the yoke of monumental history the west has become so addicted to.
currently busy reading actual historical documents
in the long run this board will be run by people who know what they're talking about, like /lit/. still in the grace period for now
>wasted fuckloads of money on building Versailles instead of improving infrastructure and economy
>went into pointless wars like absolute madman and lost almost all of his colonies
>expelled Huguenots which were probably the most productive population group in France, thus impoverishing the country further
>actually called "the Sun King"
Can someone explain how is this faggot considered to be one of the greatest rulers ever? French...

Versailles solved long term problems with binding the French aristocracy to the crown by concentrating them geographically, making them easy to kill/attainder, and by making them compete for royal patronage in a non-military context.
For fucks sake, actually read about it first you stupid cunt.
He conquered Alsace
It's all that matter
>>38592
That was a smart move in theory but in reality it turned into unnecessary money drain for the kingdom because now every single nobleman wanted to leech off the king

So what did these guys do all day anyways?
Something uncomfortable, probably.
>>38385
Mostly administrative work, wrote poetry about never surrendering since it had been 200 years since the last time they actually had to fight a war.
>>38385
Sit around, decide some things about local fiefs, train a bit maybe if they were the fighting type.
They were low-tier nobles. Not a whole lot to do compared to the rice farmers they owned.
In his magnum opus, Milton Friedman famously stated that greater economic freedom eventually leads to greater political freedom.
Does history prove his hypothesis true?
I'd like to make the case that it does, and cite three historical examples. Athens, the United States, and post-Pinochet Chile. What did these states have in common?
All of them were rooted in autocracies, but became democratic societies due to the influence of the bourgeoisie along with the heightened consciousness of an enriched lower class - both brought about by free trade.

History doesn't "prove" anything.

Economic freedom leads to monopolist corporation that backed nazism.
