The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists for while we maintain such a stand the enemy cannot and will never force us to our knees.

What about Austria?

I’m whichever one is .

The question is, am I him against Mankho, him getting the icepick, him writing about leading red army, or him writing about Stalin?

To my knowledge, most of it from antiquity was lost. Whish is what Ibn Khaldun was speaking about, not the scholarship for the Islamic period.

“In a way [my undertaking] is an entirely original science. In fact, I have not come across a discussion along these lines anywhere. I do not know if this is because people have been unaware of it…[but] perhaps [people] have written exhaustively on this topic, and their work did not reach us… The knowledge that has not come down to us is, after all, larger than the knowledge that has. Where are the sciences of the Persians…the Chaldaeans, the Syrians, the Babylonians…the Copts and their predecessors? The sciences of only one people, the Greeks, have come down to us…as for the sciences of others, nothing remains.”

Ibn Khaldun, 1332-1406 (as translated by Rosenthal)

Allende just needed more people’s militias

That’s a good question.

Cheap pound of pasta+jar of tomato sauce+can of tuna is around $4 or $5 which is about 2000 calories.

Cheap cheese burger is around $2 which is about 400 calories

For the price of a single McDonald’s meal I could make a whole bunch of different cheap shitty meals at home and in way greater quantities

That’s definitely true in the states too.

I’m guessing us US people either are more treat addicted, have less skill at cooking, have less free time to cook or are more likely in “food deserts.”
