I think it varied quite a lot depending on the location and the time. We’re talking really hard to comprehend lengths of pre-historic time. Like 300,000 years of what we consider a modern human.

And the differences between hunting and gathering, and agriculture as @xj9@hexbear.net says are not as clear cut. Many “Hunter-Gatherer” societies might be moving between semi-permanent seasonal camps (sometimes leaving behind structures and dwellings) where they had planted different crops along the routes and at the places, so they could change with the climate and animal migration

Other permanent “agricultural” settlements, might have been permanent communities with crops growing, livestock etc, but also significant portions of their population going on hunting trips that might take weeks or pasturing livestock in different regions. And almost certainly some amount of foraging local areas. We know even medieval peasants still did that.

At any rates both might have had periods of peace and abundance, versus scarcity and extreme violence. There’s probably some hunter-gatherers whose lives were like the garden of Eden, others who it was like The Road. Likewise there’s probably farming communites who were like “we’ve cracked the code free food forever” and others a constant life of paranoia peering over your hill fort’s walls incase a neighboring tribes is going to attack, loot your granary and kill you.

Yeah it’s crazy, I would have thought a good 60-70?

Edit: I googled him and he does look older in some photos, but whenever he is showing emotion (excited, happy etc) he knocks decades off his appearance

I mean 67 out of the 82 he landed with were killed within 3 days. That plays havoc with the chain of command. Che was only meant to be the doctor for the party and had to step up.

Regardless you’re also forgetting Camilo Cienfuegos who was the official second in command of Fidel’s faction. His politics were pretty opaque, presumably some sort of leftist but how radical unclear. He died in a plane crash towards the end of the revolution.

Why settle for Pu Yi, he should become a Souphanouvong figure.

Starting a struggle session on whether Illinois shares a border with Canada or not (it borders lake Michigan meaning you could take a boat straight to Canada without touching the land of another state, but you pass through Michigan waters).

Definitely Fidel was kind of a Maoist in the streets (how he fought a protracted peoples war from the countryside through a dialectical relationship with the peasantry’s needs) and a social democrat in the sheets (basically just wanted self determination for Cuba as a liberal democracy with welfare programs).

Look I thought it was weird when she said she was Jesus Christ’s “little sister” but I liked it when she abolished foot binding.

I’m centrist, I think the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism is a good compromise between the opportunist social democrats and the adventurist ultra-left.

Definitely some scientists in the MIC but that’s also a lot of different types of engineers as well.

I imagine a bunch of the 25% also work for industrial agriculture, oil and natural gas extraction and pharmaceuticals.

Taiping were weirdos but actually a historically progressive force, they wanted to end slavery/serfdom, and various other things.

Chinese plot to do put their UN troops in Ukraine /s

I have some from the West Bank (but not Hirbawai) and they’re neat.

Just disappointed I can’t get the cool copper jewellery.

There’s some Australian places selling silver and ceramic pieces but it’s outside my price range.

Got an email notification that Hirbawi Kufiyehs, Palestinian jewelry and leather goods were in stock. I didn’t realize it was not the Australian supplier but the USA store (must have subscribed at some point). I saw a bunch of neat bracelets and rings out of copper, tried to buy them, my credit card declined and even when I fixed it, I realized they won’t ship to me.

The leather goods are pretty neat. They have a leather passport holder which I guess the idea is if you’re part of the diaspora with a passport from another country you can carry it in something that says “State of Palestine” and looks like a passport.
