Okay Stalin, I'll remember that. Except... he died and so did his nation... Could be a little more to it?
I appreciate your might is right angle but there's more to success than might alone. The Christians for example are a historic example of people who gained significant influence without actually being a part of votes, words or law. Christians live on today where as Rome is dead for example. You're mostly right but not entirely.
I agree with this. Thought always precedes action. To reduce the whole world into power dynamics is to play the Marxist game. Power is a huge factor, but without ideas, good or bad, that power doesn't last very long.
Your opinion or my opinion is irrelevant, reality doesn’t care, you ignore the mechanisms of civilization at your own peril.
Mamby pamby land < reality
Christians were massacred for centuries until they gained enough political and military power to have a influence in first the senate and then on the emperor himself ...
The stupid story about Constantine converting after a revelation... it’s just ancient world political propaganda by the Roman empire’s CNN... he converted because it was a smart political move and he needed the now militarily powerful Christian nations to expand the Roman Empire.
Stalin lived and died in power for most of his life ... I think he known more about political power than a lawyer killed in a política purge ... one ruled and the other not ... I know it sucks ... but whining at reality never altered history.
