Sounds pretty spooky mate. Mind elaborating?
Why did they send a runner to Sparta instead of a horseman?
>>884012
humans have sweat glands, although their top speed is slower an athlete can run nearly all day without overheating
>>884022
Cavalry would ride for 50-60 miles a day.
>>884012
They had infamously shitty horses back then, especially everything south of Thessaly. It's entirely possible they had 0 horses, and if they did, they might not have been the quality to keep up with an ancient Olympic distance running champion.

What's with all the atheist shitposters lately?

mate that post has nothing to do with atheism, it's a valid theological question, not to mention its a bit weak to throw any question criticising accepted dogma out the window as atheist shitposting
Is Fascism really capitalism in decay?
have fascists ever come to power at a time or in a place where capital wasn't under threat?
>>880432
No. There is no correlation whatsoever between the political beliefs of fascists and capitalists.
If anything, representative democracy is capitalism in decay.
>>880432
No. Capitalism in decay is third-world countries going to shit while the first-world faggots drink champaing and watch tv bullshit and then whining when the shit they are responsable for come knocking the door. Hope refugees destroy europe...
How did slaveholders rationalize the bondage and abuse of their own brothers, cousins, and sons?
>>880328
Well they paid for them.
>>880328
the negro is a pack animal
t. slaveholder
>>880328
People back then would beat their white family members too for disobedience.
But to answer your question more directly: enslaved children of masters would often be house servants and live under the same roof as their dad. Masters almost always denied their kinship with these slaves, but often privately recognized them and gave them privileges not afforded to other slaves. A few even freed them and bought them land out on the frontier or in the North. However if the slave ever tried to assert their relationship...

Is post-scarcity an economic topic, or a philosophical one? Does it make sense to say that there is a post-scarcity economy, because economic phenomenon itself emerges from scarcity?
It's a physics topic.
It can't exist.
>>880098
>Does it make sense to say that there is a post-scarcity economy, because economic phenomenon itself emerges from scarcity?
No it doesn't, it emerges from the creation of value. We already live in an effectively "post-scarcity" society, when was the last time anyone starved to death, and yet the economy is bigger than ever.
tl;dr- wants > needs
>>880098
>Is post-scarcity an economic topic, or a philosophical one?
I would say more of a philosophical one. Economics is the study of scarce resources so if you stop scarcity, you kind of stop economics.
>Does it make sense to say that there is a post-scarcity economy, because economic phenomenon itself emerges from scarcity?
It doesn't make sense.
Why are planned economies generally so inefficient?
I'm an economic illiterate, but I really don't understand why it's so hard.

Have you ever played Dwarf Fortress?
Your fort starts small, 7 Dwarfs. You can make whatever they need. Your food stocks will soar (You can make more food and booze than your Dorfs will EVER eat). Everyone can get a tricked out swag pad filled with gold statues. You can mine mine mine until your heart is content. Sure, it takes a long time, because again, you only have seven Dwarves, but with enough time you can get those seven Dwarves whatever they want.
But as time goes on, you get more Dwarves. And they need more food. They need lots of rooms. Suddenly, you...

>>879925
I don't know why people like the Nazi uniforms so much, they're really pretty ugly.
Just like USSR. Prove me wrong.
Protip: you can't.
>>879586
Given your terms are vacuous and your claims about external reality aren't grounded in the documentary record, you've denied the possibility of "proof" or rather "evidence of bad narratives" at all, and therefore cannot be proved wrong because you're not thinking in the least historically.
Fuck off to the other place where such fallacious reasoning is the norm.

Who was the dictator?
Why was the GDR able to create a western standard of living while the other eastern bloc countries, and even the soviet union, failed horribly?
