    Franjo Tudjman was something of an evil psycho, and was definitely a Communist even during the 1990s.

    Nazism and Fascism were a natural reaction to Bolshevism. Had USSR not been formed in 1919., Second World War would not have happened even with the Great Depression.

    Ustashi movement did as much good as it did bad, and bad things they did were likely nowhere close to what they are officially ascribed.

    Was this a joke? Because the viewpoint that it was not is promoted by literally entirety of the mainstream historiography.

    Franco's victory may well have been a better outcome for Spain than the alternative - in short run at least.

    I do believe Mongols may have been an outlier, at least for Europeans. Christian Europe in fact had very strict rules of combat which were designed to reduce suffering of innocents. They weren't always honored, but it was expected that civilians for example would enjoy a level of protection that...

    Revisionism is the very basis of history. Anything that is recent is basically politics: lies, damn lies and propaganda. Therefore, revisionism is absolutely necessary. I mean... yeah.

    Problem is that intellectuals are fucking retarded. They tend to live in their ivory towers and forget the reality of human nature - reality that any self-respecting historian, or any 70-year old granny from bazaar, would be able to tell them: When you look at intellectuals, well, there is a...

    Except that never worked, and coinage would always - and very quickly, too - get devalued in the market to its actual value. There is a reason why the best Roman emperors were ones which either maintained or reestablished the gold standard. Because debasement didn't work, while at the same time...

    As bad as Pavelić was, he does not deserve any shit over Italians taking Dalmatia. And Tito and Yugoslavia only returned Dalmatia and Istria to Croatia because Pavelić did it first. Also, Italians should have kept Istria.

    What is most surprising to me is northern Croatia. I expected it to be deep red.

    Slaves were used on trade galleys. It was only warships that used free men for rowing. Logical, because military rowers were professionals.

    True to an extent. But since evil system will always end up with mass murder, it is far better for it to show its true colors sooner (e.g. nazism) than later (e.g. liberalism, progressivism). That is what I meant.

    To quote myself again: Any mass murdering system cannot last for long. Meaning that open mass murder is not the worst thing that can happen to a country. The worst thing to happen to any society is a system that causes a long-term destruction of a system of values... because such a system then...

    Hedonism however stems from individualism. Major problem with democracy and any similar system is that humans are naturally short-sighted, unless (and oftentimes even when) given a proper incentive. So if you teach people that individual is the only thing that matters, or even that individual...

    Pavelic "only" killed people. Tito did that, and turned Communism into something good in heads of many people, and instituted a system which is continuing to destroy Croatia even today.

    I didn't. I took it from Wikipedia or somewhere - it is historical Coat of Arms of Matthias Corvinus: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coa_Hungary_Country_History_Mathias_Corvinus_(1458-1490)_big.svg
