What's with this weird tendency to portray Mussolini as ''not that bad''?
1. Because he's not Hitler
2. "he made the trains run on time" meme
3. because it's easy to pity the loser
>Mussolini literally gets praise for not being as antisemetic as Hitler
Because he's generally examined alongside cartoonishly evil people like Hitler and Stalin, which makes him seem decent in comparison.
I don't really know much about Mussolini though, what was so bad about him? I just know that he was politically repressive and his invasion of Ethiopia was brutal.

Not an artist obviously, but got bored and painted the Creed. It's great to be able to look quickly to recite throughout the day.

The Three Gorges Dam literally fucked with earth's rotation bro.
I'm confused. What does it mean for workers to own the means of production? What would a communist state without a government look like? Is "workers own the means of production" just a platitude, or something more?

> What does it mean for workers to own the means of production?
No salaried employment where your boss owns the means of production.
I think the gist of Marxist Communism is to violently rise up, seize the infrastructure necessary to production from the rich, and put in any sort of system to keep the rich from reattaining any of that previous leverage over the working class.
"Workers" in this context means the new ruling caste which purports to represent the working class.
Needless to say, without free elections or any sort of checks on their power, the revolution rapidly makes a full 360 degrees.
What do you guys think about the nordic culture? The way they used to treat the womans compared to the christians, their laws and beliefs
I am a nordaboo
That's a heavy knife.
I like beer. Homebrewn mead is good too
What would your perfect new world colonies look?
Chick Cheese O Mania
All of Americas
Make cheese for starving African child's.
It would be kind of neat is Asia and Europe fought for the Americas from each side.
Have the French hold on to Quebec, the Russians to Alaska, the Germans to Venezuela, and the British to Uruguay/Buenos Aires

Life was harsh on the steppe. You were either nobody's bitch, or everybody's bitch. Every now and then someone ran out of steppe tribes to fight, leaving only the civilized world around them to target.
There's also a possibility that an invasion by Altaic speakers may have had an influence on the development Korean and Japonic language and culture.

Historical memes you want to make a comeback in 2016:
"Men who sleep with lots of women are effeminate degenerates" - the Romans.
"Any hole's a goal (as long as you're the fucker, not the fuckee)" - the Romans.
"Cats" - the Egyptians.

Why can't Christians and Muslims just get along?
>>540433
Their ideas of Truth conflict.
>>540437
They usually get along pretty well
>>540433
Because Muslims have been terrorizing Christians since 622 AD.
What's your favorite ancient troop? By ancient I mean before the use of gunpowder. Personally I like the varangian guard from the Byzantine empire. Those guys were badass. Pic related
I really like the middle eastern janasari. Taken as children to serve, and total badasses

Have you guys heard of the Sikh Nihangs? They fought against mass-converting Muslims in India. Their most famous battle is Chamkaur wherein 60 Nihangs faced more than 100,000+ Muslims, effectively killing themselves whilst taking out 100s of Muslims.

The same ones that were castrated?
If it were my choice I would want to be a longbowman. I wanted to do that so much that when I was a little kid I joined an archery club and was there for two years.
Landsknecht is a strong second, I want to look fabulous when I fight.
What is the oldest learnable language?
>>535087
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
>>535087
Well, in that sense it would be the oldest to be sufficiently preserved through writing. I hardly see the point of learning a language just because it is old

Tell me all about the 30 Years War? What happened in the 30 Years War? What was it all about and who was on what side?
It got really fucked up after those hillbillies got dropped into the middle of it by aliens.

It was hell. The German states were completely devastated, especially in the later phases.
How do we disprove solipsism?
We don't. We ignore it because it's useless in every sense of the word.
You can't. There's a tree right now falling in some forest and there's not a god damn thing you can do about it to make it exist.
Which modern ethnic group is closest to the ancient Egyptians?
Modern Egyptians
Why is this even a question? Barely 4,000 arabs even came here. We're overwhelmingly native.
All that really changed was our language and culture which already was corrupted by foreign influence.

>What was the size of the average army in the 15th century?
15th Century *Where*
Because it ranges from shit tribes with 50-man bands to Chinese/East Asian armies where 100,000 is normal for a single battle.
