First of all I don't think size really mattered at all. China had been a huge country under an efficient central governments for millenias, much more than tiny Japan in fact. I think the real deciding factor was that Western attention towards China led to the opium wars, widespread Opium addiction, and the Taiping rebellion which all destroyed state capacity.

The self strengthening movemeent occured in the middle of a civil war and the tailend of the opium wars, and with Britain's full attention. The meiji restoration in contrast happened in a period of relative peace at home, while the potential colonizer (America) was at war with itself.

this is emu

just let out a big ol sigh

Aw they didn't have a Nikah Mu'tah option for the Muslim brothers?

Not as progressive as I thought. You should go to Holy city of Mashhad and visit Imam Reza's Nikah Mu'tah offices. All activities are deemed halal an Allah certified.

Maybe she told Hillary to read the bread book!! Who knows that would be great for the left

I’m not actually Muslim I just like making you think I am because of your schizo replies I just happen to speak some Arabic

Ok qutbist

You don't subscribe to Nikah Mu'tah?
Do you think this sunnah of the prophet is good for society?

🕋

Book 41, Number 6951: Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger(may peace be upon him) as saying: The Ka'ba would be destroyed by an Abyssinian having two small shanks.

Allah forgive my people

🕋 is overrated. If you walk to Karbala In Arbaeiinn to visit Imam Hossein grave the Thawab "reward" is 40x that of spinning around Ka'aba in Haj

Thoughts? @FranquitoReynolds

What does being a third worldist mean?

The Hadith is considered authentic

That you believe the first world working class has no revolutionary potential and that this won't change in the forseeable future, some more extreme versions even claim there is no such thing as a working class in the west

Mao and Castro were secret Posadist

Thank you

Are there any ideas within this in regards to what it would take for the first world working class to actualize its revolutionary potential (and I guess if I'm asking that I gotta ask why it's thought there is such limited revolutionary potential)

Also is there any thoughts in regards to working class people from third world countries that get displaced by the activities of the first world and end up laboring in first world countries?

Finally a fresh schizo take

What legal euthanasia does to a mf
