Doesn't matter, he was slaver scum.
BROTHAAAAAA!

Funny enough, a physician of the time, who examined Caesar's body after he died, was of the opinion that only one of the stab wounds would have been fatal had Caesar received prompt treatment.
Can hardly blame them, tbh, what better time to settle some scores?
Explanation: Ottoman Turkish Janissary musicians are sometimes considered to be the first modern military bands. I'm sure the boys went wild for them!
Bonus Points: In the confusion, some of the assassinating Senators stabbed each other by accident.

That would be impressive considering the 10-year gap between the 'liquidation' of the kulaks and the Nazi invasion.
Secret self-hating Nazis, willing to commit suicide just to spite the Glorious Workers' Paradise of the USSR. Insidious!
The average value of the goods which were confiscated from the kulaks during the policy of dekulakization (раскулачивание) at the beginning of the 1930s was only 170–400 rubles (US$90–210) per household.
Assuming that's not adjusted for inflation, that would be about ~4000$ today (using the high estimate of 210$). And 4000$ of farm equipment is a paltry amount.
Goverbmenr regulation to protect the working class ans promote unions is the remedy for this which the US is sorely lacking.
Definite agree here.
If it's any consolation, I wasn't the one who censored it. I just share what I find, generally as I've found it.
"It was the KULAKS and WRECKERS which caused the Holodomor, bro, not Great Leader Stalin, Brilliant Genius of Humanity! He HAD to murder Ukrainians to stop the Nazis ten years later!"

... but we're far from the most unequal nation on earth?
Inequality is a feature of capitalism, but it's not as simple as a linear relationship between the development of capitalism and inequality.
Ah yes, the two choices, genocide or Nazis.
Jorpers says MEAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Unfortunately, I only have a very shallow understanding of Edo period Japan! A lot of these things I share because I find them interesting on a surface level, but have no deeper insight into the history of them, sadly!
Don't worry, I'm sure Stalin didn't mean for millions to die /s
There is a difference, tbf. Starting primarily in the 19th century, when material science was better understood, it became possible to engineer things with much smaller safe margins than previously. This is, entirely unironically, a good thing - pre-modern buildings, when they are not shoddily made, are typically severely 'overengineered' by modern standards - that is to say, they use far more material than is needed for what they are used for and for how long they are intended to be in service.
