Oh my God lmao, do you even know what you're talking about? Or am I being memed here?
>>1146821
The failure of the revolution and the big shit that happened in 1929 did that, not Rosa.
>>1146821
Better than reformists whose violent ways pave the road to Nazis.

I dunno, I think I may have missed the part where they took orders from krelm and acted violently enough to give the Nazis own murders some legitimacy.
>>1146894
>HE ACTUALLY SAID IT THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
Rosa luxemburg didn´t support Lenin.
Also the revolution was completely justified. The socialdemocrats had killed a shit ton of germans by supporting the war.
>>1146894
You didn't miss it because it didn't happen.
Rosa Luxemburg was murdered in 1919, some years before the Kremlin started trying to rule over the communist parties, and some more years before the nazis started being a significant force.
>>1146423
>Are there any historical events that legitimately make you feel sad to know they happened?
The conquest of Eastern Europe by the USSR for half a century.

Rhodesia was a doomed shithole even before Mugabe and Britain stood to gain nothing from bailing them out. Even if they did end up getting their own Nelson Mandela to save them you'd still cry about how its as bad as south Africa today.

No, executed. The standard punishment for treason is execution. I'll acknowledge that even if my own personal hero(Codreanu) died in a similar way, though at least he didn't start a violent revolution after a cataclysmic war.

There is no difference. Don't legitimize murder by the state by calling it a fancy name. Death is the result. Murder.

It's the fall of the Kaiserreich that makes me sad
The fall of man.
When governments started to become more democratic. Look, the longest lasting and largest empires were absolute monarchist, but when empires decided to instate a constitution or become a republic they soon fell, divided or were conquered.

That would had pawed a way to mexican irredentism, and you don't really want that. Today it is perfect as it is, Texas seceeded on its own from Mexico, and Cali was turned into one of the wealthiest places on Earth. More mexican clay would mean mexico actually has a viable claim, which could had buttfucked the US in world wars.
>>1150690
Mexican military was dogshit though. They barely beat an outnumbered French expeditionary force with US support and supply and they couldn't squash commie rebels during the fin de siecle.
>>1150464
Not him but in his defence Rosa was trying to achieve a Communist revolution. The SDP wasn't interested in that anytime soon, because they were Social Democrats who had little interest in ending Capitalism in Germany, Rosa knew that after the war Germany had maybe the best opportunity to have a revolution than it may ever have. Giving up and saying "oh well we're all tired from the war, guess we'll just have to settle for welfare capitalism from now on" would have been absurd.

But more importantly, why does it matter?

yeah the fall of the weimar republic is quite sad, but wholly intriguing and has long been a fascination of mine personally. the republic was probably the first truly democratic system in the modern age. too bad it was exploited so ruthlessly by the far right. it was such a cataclysm of culture and liberal, modernistic spirit.
nevertheless, other sad events.. well...desu, there are a lot more events i wish never had happened. then happened and felt sad about it. the history of humanity is bloody and fraught with a constant struggle between egotism, class wars and heavy handed manipulation. the only hope is in the future. and how the next generation can try build a better world. not saying everyone is bad, but yeah.. im a negative cunt, cause there are a lot of negative aspects of the world we live in today.
hmm.. open question.. would anyone say we are living in an age of disillusionment?
due to the constant stream of in your face marketing, the hypocritical political and social dynamics we live by, and yada yada

German society can't function unless they're under the heel of a strong ruler
Alexander dying. Imagine for a moment he stuck around for another 20-30 years. He conquered the known world in 10. India would have been his, and with that, he'd have conquered everyone worth conquering. I mean he could have tried his hand at China but I doubt even *he* would think that was feasible or worth it. I'd just be happy with him ruling for long enough for the indo-European cultural continuum to coalesce into one cohesive unit. Like, they would all see themselves as subjects of Alexander, the man who rules the world. Think of how much trade and technology could have benefitted.
Also. Think of the religion; one guy conquers the entire world, establishes his capital in Babylon, thought to the the first city.... He truly would be considered a God among men, and knowing him he would have crafted a persona/cult about him that would literally enshrine himself as the one true god, or at least the king of gods. People would start to realize all their gods are indo-European gods with cultural variation. All Alex had to do was claim he was the son of zeus or whatever sky god.
So much cool shit could have happened
Phocas's jew-plot to unseat Maurice in 602.
Byzantine emperor Maurice was doing great as an emperor, with his one blemish being he didn't negotiate with the Avars for the lives of his 10,000 men, who were all slaughtered. However, he sort of made up for this by planting a Byzantine-sympathizing Christian on the Persian throne. This ended all hostilities with Persia and they staight up just gave the Byzantines Armenia and Georgia as a present. Things were going pretty well.
Enter phocas. Fucker pulls some littlefinger shit and captures Maurice's whole family. He then blinds, castrates, and tortures them to death one by one (he had 10 sons) in front of him before executing Maurice and declaring himself emperor.
The Persian Prince is apocalyptically cross with this turn of events and immediately declares a war of revenge on the Byzantine empire to unseat Phocas. It takes him 10 years of horrible all-out war, but he finally succeeds in getting phocas deposed.
Both empires are weakened and tired, completely unable to deal with the Arab conquest that opportunistically begins immediately after their hostilities cease. Islam would never have spread so far so fast if it wasn't for the traitor phocas's perfidiousness.
These two men dying. I genuinely well up seeing them die and reading about it.
Diego de Landa's autos de fé. Basically, found all the Mayan shit he could, burned it. Found all the people who could write mayan, burned them alive. Found all the people who could read Mayan. Burned them alive. Burned anyone caught speaking Mayan or worshipping anything other than the Franciscan interpretation of Christianity. The pope (at the height of the inquisition) had to write him and tell him he was being too brutal, and to at least give them a chance to convert.
