  2. He said most. He included a map with african states. Maybe half would had been more near to the truth. He's not an ignorant idiot, he may have mistakes, but clearly is well documented.

  3.  @Ebroglio2  you are blaming a person with low psychomotricity that makes typing errors of be a fool? For you Stephen Hawking must be a liar. English isn’t even my tongue. Yes, states existed in many places of Africa, but not in many others. And i said that countries wee colonized no matter their general culture complexity. Stop seeing giants, Qixot. For certain, ive read a traducted mali manuscript. Did u?

  4. There are far more reasons than that. Ethiopia wasnt an european colony an wasnt in a better state until recently. All empires are built in blood. Nothin good? For you infrastructure, medicine and modern tech should all be abolished no? You seem the type of people that inspired the character of Koriba.

  22.  @markcangila1613  mmmmmm absolute monarchy based in a salvationist religion is good?
    1
  23.  @markcangila1613  mmmmm, well. Communists should cite more examples of disagreements instead of show their leaders as unquestionably obeyed. I call it religion for the lots of coincidences it has with the abrahamics. Can you cite the same for free market?
    1
  24.  @markcangila1613  Only one example isnt enough. Looks more like an exception- One problem i have with communists is their hipocrisiy, they say to despise monarchies, but half of their rulers are monarchs. I agree market doesnt self regulate, its a chaotic system. Similarities: -They have semythic bearded prophets: Abraham, Moshe, Yoshua, Muhammad, Marx... -They gave sacred texts that their followers study. -They view the world as good beleivers and evil unbeleivers. -They believe conquering and converting people is good and use it for justify their crimes. -They beleive only them have reason and hates other faiths. -They beleive by following their faith will achieve a paradise that in fact never arrives. Unbeleivers are taget of slavery -They have institutions for hunt and expropiate unbeleivers and disidents: Inquisition, minah, cheka... -They beleive in a supreme all powerful trascendent being that gives them law and protection. God. In marxism God is the state. -People name their sons after the saints. Do you want more? Write so much is boring. And this one isnt abrahamic, but the supreme leader is the incarnation of the God, with all powerful volunty, and makes the state be ruled by high bureaucrats and experts in faith, whose orders must be obeyed by the workers without question. So, it too copy the faraonic regime. So, for me is clearly a religion. Another of their hipocrisy, blame religions when they follow one too. That is another, all them are highly hypocrite.

  25.  @markcangila1613  1 Marx could had not been semytic or be shaved. Coincidence. 2 Sacred books. Marxist likes to deconstruct everything, except their sacred books. 3 4 5 Most religions arent so arrogantly xenophobic, dont wanna dominate world and enables others to have their own faith, that is an abrahamic trait. Coincidence. 6 Russians were. Not really, most ancient cultures didnt beleived in progress, that is too an abrahamic idea. Coincidence. 7 Many doesn't, but the fact is that has happened much. Many free market suporters are against explotation, and that doenst mean capitalis is against it. Coincidence. 8 I dont speak about normal police, about religious police controling sacred ideas. Neither police is used for dictaminate expropiation, although once decreed it enforces it. Coincidence. 9 A Anywhere those guys became powerful? Or are just dreamers?. B No state society is the paradise that never arrives. The great scam those faiths are based. Coincidence. 10 Ive hear of a guy that named his sons Vlad, Illich and Ulianov. Too a marxist character of a show called his son Fidel. A politician in my country has the name of ilustrious local marxists. Coincidence. For certain, the fact that my father called me Adam for the economist make me think free market (second to science) is his reiglion. But I dont see other paralels. Wrong. 1 Stalin stablished a cult personality and ruled as an absolutist faraoh. 2 The Kim dinasty are adored as gods in northKorea. 3 Turkmenistan has an absolut monarch with cult personality system. 4 Like Mao 5 Like Gadafi 6 Like Sadam 7 Fidel Castro. 8 Hugo Chavez stablished a similar cult aparate, and he has been posthumously deified. 9 Azerbaijan is ruled by a dinasty. Sounds very monarchic. Isnt curious how the postsoviet states and similars are so similar? You gave 1, I gave 9, and Im sure I can find more.

  45. A guy whitewashing the hisory of the people the govern says were hsi ancestors? Seem the level of bloodlust in other parts os America and the many skulls found, why not? According what ive read, mayas or andeans sacrificed moderately. But mexicas had an industry of sacrifice. In fact that idea is primitive, Old World too was fond in human sacrifices, but as it get more developed, it left them. See, mesoamericans sacrificed people for superstition. Inqisition sacrificed them for ideological control and get wealth for elites.

  46. Well the article mentioned they had found genes for melanine that showed that the skin was either black or brown. In fact there have been found paleolitic europeans with haplogroup C, as australoids or mogols.
