“I kill, therefore I am.”

Abstract: “History” records the acts of political leaders who have killed a lot of people. Historical significance is measured by counting skulls. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and Mao  (see photos below) are chronicled because they produced a monumental number of cripples and corpses. 

These men produce the behavior that historians require and desire. The idea of a "historical record" is prior to the behavior that constitutes the historical record. The template produces the behavior: "If you slaughter a large number of people, we will remember you."

Historians  record "what happened." However, what happens is determined by what political leaders know will be remembered and recorded. Historians fuflfill the dreams of political murderers: recording and remembering what they have "accomplished."

"I kill, therefore I am."

"I kill, therefore I will be remembered."

"I kill, therefore I will be remembered forever."

Which historical figure produced the most corpses?

Saddam Hussein called history a “record of sacrifices made in blood.” History is elevated to the status of belief when “sacred blood is shed in the most crucial situations.”

According to Islamic revolutionary Abdullah Azzam, history “does not write its lines except with blood.” Glory does not build its lofty edifice “except with skulls.” Honor and respect are established on a foundation of “cripples and corpses.”

“History” records the acts of political leaders who have killed a lot of people. Historical “significance” is measured by “counting skulls.” Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and Mao are chronicled because they produced a monumental number of cripples and corpses.
