Why did the Proletariat fail to rise up and seize power from the bourgeoisie? The global revolution should have happened by now, but instead the world is more unequal than ever.
Because that's not how history works.
I'm looking at you too, progress-believers.
>>77378
You're not paying attention. The 20th century was defined by the conflict of revolutionary proletarians against bourgeois states. Strong-arming, sabotage, and counter-revolution stymied these movements in the early 90s but that is a short history. It took the capitalist class much longer to establish their revolution over the earth.
>the world is more unequal than ever.
And this is precisely why history has not ended.
Because inequality is not wrong.
what are some of the most ugly and hellishly horrifying moments in human history?
>>77061
The stuff De Las Casas had to witness.
>>77061
I have to imagine that it must have been fucking terrifying for the Native American injuns to have experienced contact with Europeans.
Probably vice versa as well.
>>77061
id imagine being raided by the mongolians has to be up there somewhere, also being an innocent, free first world white person and being kidnapped by the arab warlod and forced into slavery... shits kinda fucked man. To taste freedom only to know how badly your suffering. I heard Americans even got captured.
How does /his/ feel about Stirner?

Is he the one that wrote Gravity's Jest?
This is pre-history and part of the history of humans, therefore /his/ related (that being said the sticky should probably address if neanderthals and history of all species within the homo genus are /his/ related or not).
So what is /his/' take on the out of Africa theory?
I've seen loads of support for multiregionalism on 4chan, but I don't think it's actually taken seriously by many professionals.
>>76674
first of all, yeah i would believe this and other anthropological topics are /his/ related, as long as they are not clearly meant to be offensive to a certain group (bait)
and yeah, the out of africa theory is generally accepted. its clear all humans are the same race, and it had to originate somewhere
did anyone ever try to explain WHY early humans would have left africa?
deserts and snow-topped mountains aren't exactly "better" places to live
Why couldn't the brother of Jesus defeat the Manchus and restore the Ming to temporal rule?
Restore the Ming? Just because they had long hair does not put them in the Ming camp.
The reason they lost is because they literally went against God by not having any Westerners on their side.

Because, historically, the Han Chinese have always been raped in the ass and subjugated and ruled by the nomadic tribes.
Because Zeng Guofan is a badass.

Over 350 years? You were probably more likely to be eaten by a shark.

Anyone feel the 25 year cutoff is a bit strict?
That doesn't even take as all the way out of the cold war, and a shit ton of important historical technological and social events went down in the 90s, let alone the 00s.
I think it should be a more holistic rule, that is you have to refer to something in a historical context, not "news"
For example, if I wanted to so a thread on the cultural and economic development of Hip Hop and rap music and its parallels to diffusion of other cultural aspects in the united States, I would be forced to stop at the most critical moments.
And that's just in the broad strokes.
Shit like the Rwandan Genocide,Soviet Break up, the creation of the Euro, the German reunion, everything that went down in the Balkans, and countless more capital H historical events are not allowed on the board dedicated to history.
That's not really fitting with the spirit of the board.
>>76344
I agree, it should be a 10 year cut off
>>76344
I think it should be a 30 year cut off. I really don't want /his/ to be /pol/ 2.0.
Everything is always at the mods discretion. I'm sure if we talk civilly about an actual historical happening that occurred in the last 25 years, the mods will let things go. It's just a rule in place to give a hard and fast reason to prune anything that looks remotely like bait.
Were Ancient Persians dark skinned or did they look like the man pictured here (note, I look like him too). I'm referring to the ones that inhabited Persepolis.
I recently had a debate with someone who argued Ancient Persians looked dark skinned and somewhat like modern Pakistanis:

they were black ofc

Maybe the Elamites were? I don't know.

He gives interesting criticisms of Kurgan Hypothesis, so it's relevant to people interested in European migrations too.

If France did not surrender to the germans in world war 2 do you think they could have had a chance in ending the war much earlier ?
>>75857
Not really they were bound to lose anyway it wouldn't have done anything except make hitler delay barbarosa and maybe focus on operation Sealion.
>>75857
If France and Britain hadn't stalled when the blitzkrieg was rolling over Poland they could have finished the war then and there. A swift march into the heart of Germany and they could have ended it. The soviets were of no importance, their army before Barbarossa was pathetic and had no leadership because of Stalins purges (see Winter War).
The Wehrmacht was inferior to the France-English military up until 1941. But alas, the allied commanders lacked foresight and didn't take Hitler seriously, hence the term "Phony War".
They paid the price at Market Garden and Dunkirk and caused the deaths of millions.
>>75919
bound to loose ? they had a chance did they not ?
What's the problem with her philosophy, /his/?

She takes capitalism to autistic levels, treating it like a religion rather than an economic system.

>He challenged the validity of the epic poems Rukopisy královedvorský a zelenohorský, supposedly dating from the early Middle Ages, and providing a false nationalistic basis of Czech chauvinism to which he was continuously opposed. Further enraging Czech sentiment, he fought against the old superstition of Jewish blood libel during the Hilsner Trial of 1899.
>On paper, Masaryk's powers as president were limited; the framers of the constitution intended for the Prime Minister and Cabinet to hold the real power. He did, however, provide a considerable measure of stability in the face of frequent changes of government (there were ten cabinets headed by nine Prime Ministers during his tenure). Due to this stability as well as his great prestige inside and outside the country, Masaryk enjoyed almost legendary authority among the Czechoslovak people. He used this authority to create an extensive informal political network called Hrad (the Castle). Under his watch, Czechoslovakia became the strongest democracy in central Europe.
