comment What was the first supranational organization?
I do not know for the areas you mentioned but say the Rus was baptized by Byzantine church. At that time the church was seen as a means of control over neighbouring barbarian states. In similar way previously were baptized Ostrogoths and Vandals. The vandals by the time they saked Rome were already Christian (but fell to heresy).

comment What was the first supranational organization?
"Catholic" means "universal" I think. The aim of Christianity was from the very beginning to become a universal religion.

Is it leftist to presume that there were confederations centuries before the United States? You downvoted my answer - do you believe that Latin League was not as ancient as the United States?

comment Who is the earliest recorded person?
Most oral traditions were later recorded, and most ancient historical chronicles start with mythical depictions. For example, Russian Primary Chronicle starts with claiming (after the Bible) that Russians originated from Japheth.

comment How was the modern geographic boundary between Europe and Asia decided?
I disagree that this boundary is not political. Moving it to the west was used to justify wars against those "Asian barbarians" of Russia (and even of Poland!). Moving the boundary to the south was used to justify that Armenia was a bastion or European-Christian culture against the Turkish-Muslim hordes etc etc.

comment Who is the earliest recorded person?
This depends on whether you allow mythical personalities. There are many people described in myths which cannot be determined whether they actually existed and even if existed, when they did.

But the employment limitation for Communist party members still in force, is not it?

comment If the nazi is a far-right party, why is it socialist?
The party initially was named "German Workers Party" and was re-named "National-Socialist" by Hitler. German Workers Party never was left-leaning, it was a nationalist right-wing party from the beginning. -1

@Joe, does not Internal Security Act of 1950 explicitely ban the Communist party and its successors? I thought that the only reason why it still exists is because the law is not duly enforced (but can be enforced at any moment at will).

How ban on general incitement of violence is constitutional then? //BTW, I hardly can imagine government deciding who committed a criminal offense - it is usually done by a court.

Is not the Communist party expressly banned by the law in the US?
