Participant” Yes, it was definitely a coup as it’s the only way these characters can get into power. You can add Castro, Mao and Lenin to that.”
In fact you are wrong about Castro and Mao. They were of course nationalists, not communists, and were carried to power by majority peasant support, not by coups.
Lenin and Trotsky did stage a coup.
In fact also, your ridiculous notion of socialism and communism being different things is pure Lenin.-

” Every society is built on culture as its foundation. This includes language, religion, identity, values, traditions … Dilute or remove these and the foundations on which that society was built collapses.”
Culture is not the foundation of a society but the expression, the superstructure, produced by the economic base. “The morality of a given society is the morality of its ruling class” – those who own and control the means of production. Identity, values etc., whether supportive of, or in opposition to, the prevalent social structure are all superstructure.

ParticipantThe Coptic and Armenian Churches, which include the Ethiopian Church, separated from the Byzantine Church in the 5th century. They were the Monophysites, the opposite to the Nestorians. The Nestorians migrated into Central Asia, Tibet, Mongolia and China, where they were well established by the time of the T’ang Dynasty. Many of the Mongols were Nestorians before conversion to Buddhism.

ParticipantThe 18th century told us most of this, and yet here we are, in 2026, not only promoting old myths, but coming up with new ones even more ridiculous. Anything but reason! (Just as, in social science, anything but socialism!)
