I think Hegel could count as an absolute madman himself.
>>437179
Marx was even madder

Yea, Marx is probably one of the weirdest thinkers ever.
>>433305
Came to post him
>>437193
Proletarian praxes as an unfolding of the potential telos of the class makes pretty good sense if you aim to abolish capital, have an awareness of wage labour production, and if you analyse wage labour production through the value form. Usually you only need two out of three for Marx's quite humble teleological claims to make sense.
Remember that the other options than socialism are barbarism (ie: a collapse into a lower order of labour productivity), or a steady state of capital. And few people support steady state analyses.

You realize that you're presupposing that 'aiming' to eliminate capital is a rational attitude, right? I have an awareness of wage labor and its relations to other modes of production, as Marxists understand them to work. I find Marxist ethics absolutely repulsive and i dont understand how 'proletarian praxis' could possibly be used to justify a purely theoretical claim like 'history is going to end when one class exists.' I think free markets are better than command economies, and you'll have to do something other than whine about the theft of surplus value if you want to convince me that Marxist teleology is anything but a way to justify the contradictions of a political philosophy that aims to dominate the bodies and minds of every person on the planet.

Is there a more absolute madman? Some may claim that. They are wrong.
>The last Sui emperor, Sui Yang To (A.D. 581-618), took the throne after murdering his father and older brother. He had a queen, two deputy queens, 6 royal consorts, 72 concubines and 3,000 palace maidens but even that wasn't enough to satisfy him sexually. He had a particular thing for teenage virgins and reportedly used a "virgin wheelchair" to capture them. According to a palace historian after the girl was seated "clamps would automatically spring up to hold arms and spread her legs apart, while the mechanized cushion would place her body in the right position to receive the royal favor.

Andrew Motherfucking Jackson.
>>433305
Can someone tell me what amazing feats this man achieved?
I'm reading the wikipedia article of him and he seems like he was a fanatical monarchist.
>>439272
Don't forget he's also made significant contribution to differential geometry and physics.
>>441793
This.
trying to remember the name of this absolute madwoman from a noble roman family who had an affair with the pope amongst other important people in the papal state
>>441978
Interesting note on the "shot in the heart" duel.
Apparently, waiting for your opponent to fire first was considered a bitch move because if his snap shot didn't do the job you could just calmly line up your sights and murder the sob.
But Jackson gave no fucks because corpses don't talk shit.
Also I forgot this guy's name, typed in 'crazy american merchant from history' and he came up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Dexter
>In one notable episode, Dexter faked his own death to see how people would react. About 3,000 people attended Dexter's mock wake. Dexter did not see his wife cry, and after he revealed the hoax, he caned her for not grieving enough.
>>442029
Many keks anon, thank you for sharing. Reading about his antics was a treat.

> Dexter wrote a book about himself – A Pickle for the Knowing Ones or Plain Truth in a Homespun Dress –
>The book contained 8,847 words and 33,864 letters, but no punctuation and its capitalization seemed random.
>In the second edition, Dexter added an extra page which consisted of 13 lines of punctuation marks with the instructions that readers could distribute them as they pleased.

this guy
>>437626
Nah. His scorched-earth campaign was strategic not total.
>>442001
Well, the duel in question, Jackson knew his opponent was faster. He knew that if he let him use that speed it more than likely wouldn't result in accuracy, and he was right.
>>442029
> Because he was largely uneducated, his business sense was considered peculiar. He was inspired to send warming pans (used to heat sheets in the cold New England winters) for sale to the West Indies, a tropical area. His captain sold them as ladles for the local molasses industry and made a good profit. Next, Dexter sent wool mittens to the same place, where Asian merchants bought them for export to Siberia.
>People jokingly told him to "ship coal to Newcastle". He did so during a miners' strike at the time, and his cargo was sold at a premium. At another time, practical jokers told him he could make money shipping gloves to the South Sea Islands. His ships arrived there in time to sell the gloves to Portuguese boats on their way to China.
>He exported Bibles to the East Indies and stray cats to Caribbean islands and again made a profit; eastern missionaries were in need of the Bibles and the Caribbean welcomed a solution to rat infestation. He also hoarded whalebone by mistake, but ended up selling them profitably as a support material for corsets.
>>442029
>His relationships with his wife, daughter, and son also suffered. This became evident when he started telling visitors that his wife had died (despite the fact that she was still alive) and that the woman who frequented the building was simply her ghost.
>>443099
He is strangely good at selling shit.

Does it have to be historical figures?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Salvador
Here is a selection of his antics
>In 1989 he was moved to Long Lartin, and settled in well at the prison until he "went over the edge" and ran riot in the nude, clutching onto a spear he fashioned out of a broken bottle and a broom handle.
>On remand in Woodhill he took a civilian librarian hostage, and demanded an inflatable doll, a helicopter and a cup of tea from police negotiators.[78] He released the hostage after being disgusted when he broke wind in front of him.
And perhaps best of all
>Five months later an Iraqi hijacker bumped into him in the canteen and did not apologise.[93] After a long period of brooding he then took two Iraqi hijackers, along with another inmate named Jason Greasley, hostage in a cell.[94] By his own admission he was "losing it badly" and ranted about his dead father, saying that any "funny business" would result in him "snapping necks".[95] He sang and laughed and forced the Iraqis to tickle his feet and call him 'General'.[95] He demanded a plane to take him to Libya, two Uzi sub-machine guns, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and an axe.[95] He released Greasley, but began chanting "I want ice cream".[96] He felt guilty after hitting one of the hostages with a metal tray and therefore insisted the same hostage hit him over the head four times so as to call it 'quits'
>>445603
Oh, and most recently he went on a rampage after seeing the results of a soccer game. During it, he slipped out of his cell naked and greased with butter, fighting the 12 prison guards until they were finally able to restrain him. This all at the ripe old age of 61.
Not an absolutist, definitely a madman.
>>433236
This fucker here
In 1171 Byzantium arrests all venetian citizens in the empire, including him, because it's assblasted venice won't suck its dick
It's said he lost his vision while either escaping or arguing with the emperor (he's around 65 years old at this time)
Massacre of latins happens and he's sent as ambassador
He's elected Doge, goes to war for Zara but loses
Crusade happens, it's supposed to start from venice, knights get there but they don't have the money for a ride, so he asks them for help to get Zara as a payment.
They accept and siege the christian city, pope excommunicates all of them, but then removes it for the non-venetians
While there, deposed prince of constantinople shows up and asks for help to get back the throne, crusaders go "fuck it" and accept
This guy now past 90 years of age leads the troops and sacks the city (reminder he can't see shit)
The ebin latin empire is formed but the b*lgarians take advantage of the war and rek it, Byzantium takes back constantinople
He dies when 98 years old

Seriously though, I know the guy who runs the madmonarchist website and is a huge nerd about these guys. He presents a pretty strong case that Sternberg's exploits have been incredibly overexaggerated by invested second-rate scholars citing each other to bolster their unjustified exaggerations.
He was nutty and horrible, but not nearly as is often portrayed.
"sanity is for the weak" -pretty interesting viewpoint
>>441876
Ungern-Sternberg managed to control a good chunk of territory in Mongolia/Siberia for several months, but these are extremely remote and sparsely populated places
>fanatical monarchist
Pretty much. He wanted to reestablish the Mongol Empire
>>445955
Guy pretty much put the last nail in the Byzantine coffin. After that sack they were circling the drain. They fucked with the wrong Venetian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Blood
>Blood used the mallet to flatten St. Edward's Crown so that he could hide it beneath his clerical coat. Another conspirator, Blood's brother-in-law Hunt, filed the Sceptre with the Cross in two (as it did not fit in their bag), while the third man, Parrot, stuffed the Sovereign's Orb down his trousers.
>Blood was not only pardoned but also given land in Ireland worth £500 a year.
