Yeah it was basically Japan in the 50s hyped up to 1000, leftists were accurate during this period too.
yes the Public Security ministry was using the terrorists as proxies
But Japan industrialised extremely quickly after the Meiji Restoration, didn't they?
so they sent Kei to trick the commie girl into leading him to her contacts
and tracing it back to the specific bureaucrats
Why do people hate Molyneux when he's allowed to be this based and remain a blue tick?
during the Cold War the Japanese and Americans used the Yakuza to scare and murder Communists
as for the Meiji question
molymeme is alright
his libertarianism is kinda dumb
Japan started industrializing during the 1860's but didn't really reach adequate levels until about 1900
in 1905 when they were fighting Russia they were far less industrialized
and relied on British and American shekels to expand their army and navy
@Emperor of Atlantis Yes, they also used them as bodyguards during presidential visits.
in 1894 for example, the Chinese were more industrialized and had a bigger army and navy
Still, that quickly, in a few decades?
everyone expected China to win that war
the issue is that the Chinese government and bureaucracy were incompetent and corrupt
Unlike now
yeah Japan industrialized as quickly as Germany did
Italy was completely unable to for some reason
the Japanese have always been really efficient
molyGOD
Chiang Kai-shek is overrated.
when the Portuguese brought guns in 1542
the Japanese were outproducing Europe during the 1570's and 1580's
Tbh I feel like for most of human history we've been carrying the Italians.

The EU basic exists to carry Greece and Italy, and their tanking economies, at the expense of more industrious European states.
read Nicholas Farrell's Mussolini
it is by far the best source on the subject
Mussolini not only completed Italian unification
he was also the best ruler the Italians had in all of modern history
Italy was just REALLY fucked
secular fascism is not enough though
yes I agree
whoops
