In how they actually work.
Yes but their conquest was typical mercantilist
Other than the Metropole is farther away.
I agree the distinction doesn't really make itself evident
they didnt want more men, instead they wanted trading privilleges and exclusive zones
martial vs. mercantile?
No, they pretty much showed up with a few hundred guys and took over your small City....
nah
yeah
it was all the same game
for everyone
i dont think martial vs mercantile is good division
British were both martial, and undoubtedly seafaring and commecial
just best-fitting what you said
fair enough
The only difference is Athens appointmented a military governor above the city government
And Sparta just appointed a military governor
I just mentioned Dugins position, I do not necessarily agree with it, though it has alot of merit
But nothing could be done without him.
Or if he died, chaos ensured usually.
I also don't think Russia today is an archetypal example of a continental idealistic nation, when i think of it, no nation is today
yes, Dugin is philoislamic
he is Eurasian after all
The vast majority of Muslims are not traditional anymore
As they gain literacy
They pick and choose like everyone else.
Compare Aceh to the rest of Indonesia
I like this essay by him but it rings slightly hollow
opportunistic
hahahahaha
They pretty much are fundamentalists and would just sack it
If the government fell
The rest saxkinf the fundamentalists who are unpopular.
Islam, just like Christianity, has passed the point of it's possibilities, this is the only thing that Evola perhaps didn't understand
Also most of the places were Islam thrived were never honest societies
nope
Which is unrelated to the religion
Both Christianity and Islam HAD traditionalist schools, however, these existed IN SPITE OF their non-traditional teachings, not thanks to
they were literally underground movements
