Tell me about the Socialist Republic of Vietnam /his/
What did they do without our freedom?
They grew with free healthcare, less poverty and real freedom.
The savages raped the poor fools who didn't get to escape and ruined the culture of Vietnam

So, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. I am looking to learn a bit more about the SA and the early days of the NSDAP. Most books I have read gloss over 1919 - 1933 to get into the real minutiae of WWII and Nazi Germany.
I asked the guys over at /lit/ for any books that focus on the SA and the street battles with the communists as well as the organisation as a whole, but they had nothing. Perhaps the historians can help?

If Muslims do not worship Muhammad because he is not divine but a man, then why is creating images of Muhammad so forbidden?
because it's like a saint not divine but saint
They are scared people will worship the pictures
It's not forbidden
Did he do anything wrong other than piss off people who had more interest in controlling other states than their own by throwing out their policies?

*Laughing in Helicopter*
As I get it people could just walk into a factory, occupy it and later get ownership of it because there was laws that confiscated factories if they weren't in function for to long and that the state wouldn't do anything about the occupiers.
Which of course fucked the right of private ownership in the ass.

He was a 8/10 leader.
What is debatable was his quality as a policy maker.
When arresting political opposition during the Great Purge, why did Stalin require his opponents to 'confess' to crimes they either did/did not do, as if they had the illusion of choice? They were fucked either way, seems bizarre considering.
It gives "legitimacy".
By confessing guilt, the death becomes a punishment instead of an assassination.
Most people willingly confessed crimes they didn't commit because they thought they were advancing the cause of communism.
Yes, commies are this retarded.

>His posthumously published book, The Phenomenon of Man, sets forth a sweeping account of the unfolding of the cosmos and the evolution of matter to humanity, to ultimately a reunion with Christ. In the book, Chardin abandoned literal interpretations of creation in the Book of Genesis in favor of allegorical and theological interpretations. The unfolding of the material cosmos, is described from primordial particles to the development of life, human beings and the noosphere, and finally to his vision of the Omega Point in the future,...

>William Adams (24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620), known in Japanese as Miura Anjin (三浦按針: "the pilot of Miura"), was an English navigator who in 1600 was the first of his nation to reach Japan. One of a few survivors of the only Dutch East India Company ship to reach Japan from a five-ship expedition of 1598, Adams settled there and became the first ever (and one of the very few) Western Samurai.

There have been lots of crowd crushes in the last 200 years, and the number is increasing. They seem to become more common all the time.
But what actually causes them? How can people walking into the back of other people actually cause fatalities?
I underatand that people can be compressed enough to be unable to breath, but what possesses the people at the back of the crowd to keep pushing forward even when the crowd stops moving?

Lima 1964 was supposedly caused by drunk fucks pissing from the top stands, then police fired tear gas. Death toll above 300

The imitative ray.
>>1061717
Once you surpass a critical density of 7-8 people per square meter, individual movement becomes impossible. The crowd begins to behave like a fluid. Individual people collapsing can lead to propagating "waves" in the crowd, creating temporary areas of higher and lower density.
This gives the people at the back the illusion that they are moving forward. At the same time they have no clue what's happening at the front of the crush.

A lot of time to kill between sails, a lot of time to kill while on the boat, doing bullshit chores, banter with the lads, shooting a gun once a few months, acquiring STDs the rest of the time.

>The Agrarian Reform Law of August 1946 nationalized most property of religious institutions. Many clergy and believers were tried, tortured, and executed. All foreign Roman Catholic priests, monks, and nuns were expelled in 1946, and the Jesuit and Franciscan orders were banned. Religious institutions were forbidden to have anything to do with education.

What the heck is up with all the pirates in the ancient world? It sounds like the Romans struggled with piracy a lot, what with Cilicians and Mamettines rowing about; were they shore-raising pirates or did they just take down ships? It seems like the Caribbean age of piracy was a flash in the pan compared to Mediterranean piracy. Anyone got any good material or theories on the Hyksos/nuragics/boat people?
What Hyksos have to do with piracy? They were nomad Semitic tribes from Palestine, IIRC.
Also don't forget Greeks, they were the primal pirate nation in the Mediterranean during their Dark and Archaic ages.
The thing you've got to understand is that these weren't Pirate Pirates in the sense of the golden age of piracy in the early modern period. Most of these dudes were fishermen who lived in coastal communities, piracy was their way of getting stuff they otherwise would have no access to. Rome pacified the mediterranean primarily by invading and conquering the places that were supplying the pirates, not by creating a navy to constantly patrol the sea.

Well that may be cause you are comparing a timespan of thousands of years with other of just centuries.
Lets discuss this, since its most important thing about history imo.
To which extent are people made to do things they are doing by their environment and from which point the choice is up to them?
First of all, there is the moral look. I know most of you consider this stupid, but for me its kind of important. I mean you got Lincoln and Hitler as good/bad guy in history, but if Lincoln was born in traditionalist Germany circa 1920 and Hitler in multicultural New York prior to civil war, they could as well switch places and we would be worshipping Hitler and demonizing...

any way, all choices are themselves conditioned and contingent, you could almost say no one realy ever does anything, all things, actions, behaviors, basicaly just happen, and this could be logicaly and empiricaly prooven, but at the same time it would be a rather screwed up way of regarding human life in practical terms, especialy in terms of relations to others and things like personal responsability
in a sense,...

theres nothing 'rasist' or whatever about this when you think about it, its more like a appeal to a reasonable dose of equal oportunity hatred, its perfectly logical to describe human beings as large intelligent beasts, and that makes them, by default, and without negating any positive aspect, a potential danger and a problem
in other words, its specificaly ones humanity, ones basic human-beingnes, not the lack of it, that makes him or her a potential danger and a problem
and with regards to populations...
