Horseshoe theory posted:Isn't Person of the Year Time magazine? Lol, correct on which magazine it was (brain fart), but I still stand by it was likely not ironic. drat, he stole POTY from this guy: quote:If Francisco Franco had won the Spanish Civil War after his great spring drive, he might well have been Man-of-the-Year timber. But victory still eluded the Generalissimo and war weariness and disaffection on the Rightist side made his future precarious. BadOptics has issued a correction as of 20:32 on Dec 10, 2023 |

Time's selection of Hitler as man of the year in 1938 was absolutely not praising or honoring him. They called him an enemy of the freedom loving world who's actions "left civilized men and women aghast." I mean it was probably a controversial pick to sell magazines, but the reasoning he was influential though negatively so and it wasn't a paean by any means. IDK if you'd call that "ironic" but it wasn't meant to be an honor.

Given that the US sits atop a world-spanning empire and so favors stasis, any figure who truly defines the headlines for the year will be a villain from the perspective of the US almost by definition

Regarde Aduck posted:at least a small part of why the British military is a shambles today is because there's still an old boys aristocracy club at the top of the hierarchy that runs everything like a business and is best friends with all the tory paedophiles Our military seems to draw its officers from a very small number of upper-middle class families where serving in the forces is considered practically a hereditary duty. I've known a couple of people like this and both of them were posh, rather eccentric and utterly divorced from mainstream British society. In the event of some popular uprising ever taking place in the UK, these'll be the guys organising the death squads to terrorise the plebs back into their proper place.

it's common to sort of sneer at commisar militaries and political schooling etc., but keeping the armed forces politically reliable is genuinely a big deal and non-trivial (as we can see in ukraine right now, in fact!). western militaries have tried to solve the problem either by drawing their officers from social elites who have a naturally vested interest in the social order or by just making them all basically mercenaries and assuming that we'll never find ourselves in a situation where that's a problem, and revolutionary armies have tended to use the military as a major lane of upward social mobility for ambitious and clever people from inauspicious backgrounds. having to constantly negotiate with a semi-independent or politically active military is a huge drag on the political economy of a country, as can be seen in e.g. egypt and much of latin america until quite recently

As Tankbuster will tell you, expanding the profession of arms to New Men poses risks unless the military is a machine for the integration of their group into society and promotion of their interests. In Canada, commissioning French Canadian officers was made possible after the 1970’s because Dextrase and others showed they were politically reliable and anti-seperatist. Since then, they made up a huge share of the Army, but they home is in Canada, not Quebec.

In regards to the NS pipeline, it is simple. If it were not blown up or some other act of god disabled it, Gazprom/Russia would still be required to pay Germany and any other EU states they had deals with for failing to provide what was stated in their contracts. Gazprom has by far benefited the most with the pipeline being blown up.

Phigs posted:Just started reading some Engels because of our discussion of materialism and spirituality and whatnot and I have to say why the gently caress do people send newbies to Marx? Engels is so much more spirited and inspiring and talks exactly the kind of poo poo I was lamenting I don't hear more often out of communists. Engels was Marx’s editor and main intellectual counterpart. Whenever he felt the man needed to have a fire lit up his rear end (because Karl was perfectly able to have a deluge of righteous fury to complement a point) he would troll him to get going lol And that was due to a deep awareness of how much more he was able to develop and advance theory. Volumes two and three of Capital are great works of edition because Engels was no intellectual slouch, but without Marx to wrap up, there was no way to not have expressive gaps

Egg Moron posted:Looks like the thing that makes the most economic sense for Ukraine is to just get as much of itself integrated into Russia as possible The best choice would be for Kiev oblast to be "Ukraine" and thus burdened alone with all the completely unrecoverable loans. The rest can be spun off and join whatever sovereign neighbours want them. The general idea is something similar to phoenixing an insolvent fly by night construction company owned by a dodgy bloke with a history of failed directorships.

Clearly you make this Lviv, Kiev is too productive to want to leave behind and Lviv would join Poland if left to fend for itself. That keeps things profitable for you and creates a poison pill for Poland.
