The average GDP growth rate between the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s weren't that different, and already on an upward trend before Deng Xiaoping did his reforms. Average growth was slightly higher, but more so because they stopped making stupid mistakes than because of some amazing reform, as liberals depict it.

Someone else remember the "Slavery wasn't profitable but a net loss" schizo here on /his/ a few years back?

>>17833360 (OP)
Christianity caused the downfall of Rome

>>17834052
So, global influences in general, scientific progress, etc, pushed China's economy forward, not specifically Deng Xiaoping's policy.

>>17834052
All apologize to this man right fucking now.

>>17834075
Wait what? Gib me context

>>17834075
that’s just true from an economic standpoint, you’re undercutting workers by using slaves and therefore drawing less funding into the industry

>>17834180
there was a guy who spammed the same thread several times a week, sometimes several times a day where he claimed that owning slaves in the American South was a net loss for the owners and posted ridiculously high prices for food per slave to prove his theory. If you replied to the post in any way that wasn't 100% in agreement with him, he went on to pull even more schizo calculations or rambled incoherently against the source or argument presented.

>>17834187
his "argument" was that providing a worker/slave lodging and food for work can never be profitable ever under any circumstances, which doesn't even make any sense because almost every person on earth right now gets enough money for lodging, food and additional money from one single employer.

What? I've never heard anyone tell that myth before. Is this from an obscure darknet forum only 3 separate people have ever visited?

>>17834103
I'm sorry. You were right about the liberals.

Are you the guy that's always asking to debunk Fomenko but no one ever can?

>>17834075
A few years earlier before him there was a guy saying that slavery drives down median wages that would go to workers. He was a little bit sharper.

No, I think Fomenko's hypothesis is retarded, I thought that was made clear enough.

>>17834212
Who or what is Liao Hao?

>>17834240
So how come you never go to those threads and debunk them?

>>17834249
I went once and argued that global weather events synchronize the Chinese and Western timeline and he (or someone else in the thread) simply denied that.

Curious. And who exactly tells this myth? Is it made up too?

>>17834254

I've never told it, ever.

>>17834259

>>17834264

I've never seen ANYONE say that. Maybe you're thinking of "Jesus was white", but no one in history has ever said EVERY Bible character was White.

>>17834253
>global weather events synchronize the Chinese and Western timeline
Which global weather events?

>>17834311
The entire Late Antique Ice Age, Volcanic Winter of 536, 1257 Samalas volcanic winter, if you take astronomical phenomena: Supernova of 1054 most prominently.
All of them occurred in those independent timeline of events simultaneously: Which means, the winter of 536 was 1489 years ago in China and in the West+Arabia, the Supernova of 1054 happened 971 years ago in China and in the West+Arabia.
This gives us independent fix-points that disprove a shorter timeline for the West.

Also when we calculate the movement of the moon back we can identify a few Western solar eclipses recorded in antiquity. Same with Halley's comet: In 66 AD the sight of a comet was described, in 66 AD Halley's comet came back near earth if you calculate its movement back.

>>17834212
It just hit me. Did you mean Liao Hua from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms??

>>17834343
>Volcanic Winter of 536
Theophanes puts this a century earlier. Other Byzantine's do too.
>1257 Samalas volcanic winter
Irrelevant. Fomenko, and most other phantom time theorists, put all of the changes happening in the 12th century and earlier.
>Supernova of 1054 most prominently
Is lacking in Chinese texts.
See here:
>>"We investigate possible reasons for the absence of historical records of the supernova of 1054 in Europe."
China recorded it, but it's missing from most European national records.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/008366569596619S

The supernova only lines up the Chinese with the Japanese- but they were pretty well lined up anyways.

>This gives us independent fix-points that disprove a shorter timeline for the West.
All deconstructed. See above.
>Also when we calculate the movement of the moon back we can identify a few Western solar eclipses recorded in antiquity
So how did you refute the 1974 NASA calculations and those brought up by Fomenko exactly?

>>17834352

Whoops meant European,but also across the Arab world

That was the gdpschizo. He also made the "artillery wins every battle" threads where he continuously moved the goalpost as he got btfo in real-time.

The best part is he actually did the math on it, and it still didn't add up to what he was saying. But he was too schizophrenic to see anything except the pattern he wanted to see in the data that wasn't correlated at all.

Not ALL his fault, and if you're gonna blame him for that, you also need to give him credit for the huge spikes too.

Slaves were mainly used in agriculture, there were plenty states where slavery was illegal and slaves had no political rights. It's kinda odd to claim that they can be used to under-cut wages across the board.

>>17833360 (OP)
E-tradcath historiography.

>>17834611
it’s not odd at all, it’s completely sound and the same issue can be found with automation if it’s cheaper to buy and maintain a slave (robot/black/whichever)
than it is to pay a working human wages, then that is exactly what will happen

>>17834618
This

>>17834618
shutup and watch the 9 hour militant Thomist video, then when you’re done pray the Rosary in ecclesiastical Latin
and don’t forget the Chaplet of the Precious Blood, it’s July

>>17834620
Automation generally isn't illegal, slaves were geographically and occupationally limited. Somebody having slaves picking cotton in Louisiana isn't going to depress wages for florists in New Hampshire.

>>17834748
the legality isn’t a factor, if i replace the front counter clerk with a slave or an automatic kiosk the value of wages in that job title will go down

Namefags are automatically wrong and there's no need to argue with them.

>>17834811
The legality literally controls whether it's possible or not, followed by whether people won't burn down your business for daring to put a negro within their sight.

>>17833368
the other part that makes me laugh about this is people who post that nonsense literally saying they wish they were a medieval serf because of some incel fantasy that if they lived in premodern times they'd be party to an arranged marriage so get handed some beautiful sex slave wife for free

If I'm going to fantasize about living in medieval times I'd fantasize about being a badass knight, or better yet a lord, instead of wanting to be a fucking peasant.

>Theophanes puts this a century earlier. Other Byzantine's do too.
So, monks who lived 300 years later got it wrong, Procopius wrote about it AT THE TIME as an eye-witness.

>Irrelevant.
it absolutely isn't, you can't just claim .... welp after 1100 ad everything lines up, but before that was fan-fiction, when the periods build into each-other and family trees can still be reconstructed further back.

>useless link
The abstract doesn't claim what you think it does, the source material also doesn't. And even if, that's why Arab sources of the supernova fit also well, which has an interconnected timeline with Europe.

>NASA proved Fomenko
yeah no. Also you don't touch on Halley's comet: Appears in 1066, gets pictured in 1066, appears in 66 AD, gets mentioned in 66 AD and many other cases. To line this one up perfectly is impossible by reconstructing a new timeline, that still has the ~73 year re-occurrence of a comet, weird coincidence. Lucky Fomenko.

>>17834888
I am still convinced that the latter half of the quote was trolling. How can he claim that Germans, Russians or Swedes are non-white but Saxons are.
