100 years ago, on January 21st 1924, the greatest revolutionary genius in history, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, died. To this day, no other communist revolutionary inspires such hatred among the bourgeoisie. Lenin's ideas were a correct development of Marxism and took socialism from theory to reality. The Russian Revolution was denounced and vilified because its example was a deadly threat to ruling classes across the capitalist world. Lenin has been caricatured and demonised, especially during the Cold War period. Lenin stood up for the working class all over the world.

Would it be fair to say that for at least the last 2,000 years, the world has revolved around China in one way or another?

Why have the Chinese historically always been so bad at war?

Even going back to antiquity, chinese "victories" are like
>we want this greek city in bactria
>they have better horses than all of china
>let's send 30k men to take the city
>they failed
>send 240k men to take the city
Like, I get that stagnating military theories from literally every group in the region aside from steppe nomads all fighting in more or less in the chinese tradition is a big problem, but the baseline chinese tradition also seems to be bad

Germanic heritage of Italy

Why did the Germanic tribes not leave a genetic impact on the Italian Peninsula despite historical evidence of Germanic settlement and migration to the region? Is there a historical reason behind it? Was the constant Byzantine attempts at conquering the Italian Peninsula behind it?

2nd sino-jap war

No.6926181 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Why did the japanese sperg out and try to conquer the shit out of everyone during the 1930s? They just simply thought territorial expansion was good for japan? It seemed completely random aa japan was basically isolationist for most of it’s history. Was is because they finally united as an island?

Also- why was china so weak for so long and then finally became a military threat after ww2? China’s military seemed like a joke until after the war, when we all know they eventually became a superpower of sorts?
