Kaiser was just sort of there not exercising any power

the Russian Empire collapsed

in 1917

and making relatively useless suggestions

same thing happened in Russia

bruh this 'finders' story is nuts

new MM

also Japan while technically an abolute monarchy

the Emperor almost never exercised any real power

pretty much everything was done by the state apparatus

@Smoke pretty much pizza gate part 1

underground tunnels

and this is largely how it was in Japan since even like the 900's or so

a rape school

Cover up

Conspiracy

where as in China it was the exact opposite, where the Emperor exercised direct power

Sex for favors

time to go boondock saints

that's why I wouldn't call Japan an Absolute Monarchy tbh

so for Mao it might be a cultural reason as well

if you look up say Qin Shi Huangdi

@Smoke aaaa all those ppl are dead fren your hunting ghosts

<:black_pill:565703068478341151>

he basically did everything himself

Okay, I said they lasted for centuries. I didn't say they never collapsed. China isn't Socialist anymore. Soviet Union stopped being Socialist long before it collapsed. My point is, you give Communist dictators absolute power, they run shit into the ground. Why did Monarchs never go full commie, and centralise everything? And run shit into the ground? What was their main incentive to delegate tasks to others, give people more breathing room?

and he micromanaged all sorts of details

including things like mobilizing the army for war

same thing for other Emperors like Hongwu and Yongle, during the Ming Dynasty

well I'm sure there are many traffickers out there. I'm still learning the story

in fact neither Hongwu or Yongle ever had a prime minister

in China it is customary for everything to be one giant apparatus or bureaucracy

with the various ministers acting like an extension of the Emperor

usually when ministers had their own say

it was a sign that the state was doing badly 😄

@Weaboo Kempeitai u can look at other causes tho

ut oh

and/or that the Emperor was an incompetent
