ITT: Post the dumbest historical figure you can think of.
Crassus was a good commander who was beaten by a great one.
>>1047162
Stole mine
>>1047162
>one can at least say they haven't had any famine since
>>1047145
>>1047145
Please explain how Crassus is literally the dumbest historical figure you can think of. Do you only know three historical figures or something?
>>1047162
This.

>>1047162
Cultural Revolution did absolutely nothing for China, fucker should've just stepped down after the shitfest of the Great Leap Forward
>>1047162
He couldn't have been so stupid that he engineered a famine by accident, right? Every commie regime involves some form of deadly famine at some point, so is starting a famine part of gommunisd rulership doctrine or is it just communism's fault for being flat out retarded?
Tl;Dr is there somehow an administrative benefit to intentionally starving the populace? Or was Mao/Stalin/everyone else retarded?
Am I missing something?
>>1048548
blind ideology combined with shitty organisation. stupid cunts raised the crop quotas to maintain the illusion that they were making more in communes than ever before, but that led to more people starving to death
>>1048568
Don't forget Lysenko's shitty biology.
>>1047162
This is my vote, yeah.
Pol Pot's pretty up there too.
>>1048548
It was both Mao AND his advisors.
Mao made a bunch of shitty retarded policies on things he had no knowledge about, but the yesmen who actually were in charge of that shit just told him it was working swimmingly because they feared what would happen if they informed him it was killing his own people.
>>1047162
DUDE INDUSTRIALIZATION lMAO!
>>1048607
>lMAO
U MAO? Well you should be ashamed of yourself
>>1048464
>Leading seven Legions into the desert to be slaughtered by horse archers.
Probably the dumbest of Military blunders to date along with Battle of Karansebes.
>>1047145
>Literally the richest person ever
>dumb
You must be talking about his death in Parthia, which is more pride and ambition than stupidity
>>1047145
I liked him better when he was a general in the War of 1812, he began to be a degenerate when he was responsible for the Trail of Tears and the the mass murder of Indians
>>1048893
> Conquering stone age savages for the prosperity of your own people
> degenerate
>>1048982
>shit on top of the Constitution by going against a Supreme Court ruling
>destroy the national bank
Jackson fits in this thread.
>>1047165
Do you even aten tho
>>1048861
He was a rich asshole; people tend to hate those people. He basically modernized the firesale. I think people are just hating on him because they realize the parallels to trump, what with them both being outspoken real-estate guys who want to keep the barbs out and fuck around in the middle east
>>1048861
Richest person ever is mansa musa m8
>>1049002
>destroy the national bank
>bad
>>1048831
To be fair, Surena had some brilliant ideas famalam.
>>1048474
Don't forget those times he set back the Chinese nuclear program by several years because he told the scientists to investigate his own personal ideas, and also to explore their own personal ideas, rather than follow 'western science'.
Then there was the whole anti-Einstein campaign.
>>1047165
Who is this?
>>1049914
Akhenaten, a pharaoh from 14th century BC who wanted to abandon polytheism. he is known for building a city in the middle of the desert which was abandoned after he died
>>1047145
pepe the froge
Do actual retards count?
>>1048548
Mao and Stalin saved China and Russia from future famines,there have never been any famines since their rule on their countries
>>1050612
Why are commieboos so delusional?
>>1050626
>lets insult them and not actually try to refute them xDDDD
>>1050612
>implying it was not Zhou and Deng that saved Zhongguo from retarded Mao's policy
>>1050646
still socialist
>mongols BTFO your entire civilization
>hurr it's cos we didn't believe enuff hurr
Truly the Glenn Beck of Syria
>>1047162
Who's worse, a man whose gross incompetency killed millions, or the idiot who actually managed to lose to such a person?
>>1048542
>Cultural Revolution did absolutely nothing for China
I'm pretty sure the cultural devastation counts more as "massive damage" than as "nothing".
>>58527887
The Aten is the one true God, tho
>>1047145
a man who owned approx 25% of the whole country couldn't have been an idiot
>>1052115
It's not that hard when you are that stupidly rich and you team up with your two best buddies to take over the world.
>>1052498
>it's not that hard
Okay, well let's see you do it wise guy.
>>1052522
He pretty much was his era's equivalent of Bill gates. Give me 80 billions of US dollars and I'll take over 25% of my country if you want to.
>>1050612
Oh, and please list your source for the population count, please. I'm sure it isn't a controversial census conducted by the Soviet government and most of the people involved in it weren't killed on the orders of Stalin
>>1052555
More like Donald Trump.
>>1049914
King Wewuz
>>1052979
Fuck you.
>>1052951
I compared him to Bill Gates because he was pretty much the richest man in Rome/the world. Though I think Bill Gates is the second richest now.
>>1050646
huh he's actually rather handsome
>>1049054
>what with them both being outspoken real-estate guys who want to keep the barbs out and fuck around in the middle east

Go back to red dit
>>1053112
It's a shitty unfunny meme that you retards are spamming 24/7, give it a rest.
>>1053134
>you retards
nice one. Except i don't spam anything, you fucking faggot. Im simply stating that its retarded to get mad at memes, you little twat
>>1053142
Fuck off, you racist fuck.
>>1053190
>you racist fuck.
Why don't you fuck off to reddit? Seriously, if this place triggers you so much. This isn't a safespace. Faggots like you shouldn't be here if you have thin skin for memes
>>1050749
i mean, if you want to be stupidly technical, there is still time for them to win. Republic of China continuously became Taiwan at some point. If China ever has a revolution or a civil war, Taiwan would have a golden opportunity (assuming US support)
>>1049057
Actually, Crassus was more wealthy than Musa, the former was worth 2 trillion, while the latter was 400 billion in comparison in modern USD.
>>1049057
No, it was Ceaser, then Crassus, the idiot you just named wasted all of his fucking wealth and didn't change anything.
Land is money, above all else.
>>1053190
Wow you best be trolling.
>>1047145
He will always be the dumbest in my hearth.
>>1050690
He was sort of right though
And afterwards the Islamic worlds entered an age of expansion nearly as great as its initial one thanks to the mongols converting
>>1048893
fuck Indians, fucking tree niggers
those were Jackson's best accomplishments
>>1049058

The Republic of China lost by any definition of the word.
It continues to lose now since the Liberal Cunts in Taiwan want to drop the "Republic of China" act and become some new, made-up nation, while the right wing nationalists struggle to maintain the vision of being the "Real China" among an uncaring youth.
Chiang and Sun Yat-sen are rolling in their graves by now.
>>1047165
The fuck happened to his chin... I can't even...
>>1048463
Don't know much about this guy, how big of an idiot was he? I am assuming it has to do with him needlessly attacking tribes and making a shitload of enemies or something.
>>1053619

Serves them right those child killers
