Not if Uncle Ho's getting buddy-buddy with China. Everyone (in Vietnam) fears China, probably more than they do France. While Moscow could be seen as a Red patron of national self-determination, every single Vietnamese politician, soldier, or villager, north or south, knows and mistrusts...

It'd have to take one hell of an anti-Semitic president. Anybody read "A World of Laughter, A World of Tears," by statichaos, where Walt Disney becomes President? Mapai/Alignment wins a bigger, Redder majority and pals up with the Soviets.

The Democrats are still the party of the New Deal, and the LaFollette HUAC-analogue suggests that the Red Scare won't shake all the progressives and leftists out of the CIO; also, not that the CIO and AFL are still separate organizations. A conversation about Americans for Democratic Action and...

You're forgetting the Sino-tributary angle Korea has always defined itself with and against Japan and China, Marxist or not. Like in Vietnam, China is the imperial enemy (Vietnam invaded Cambodia and fought a war with China post-reunification.) The Yenan faction would HAVE to be wiped out...

That depends on Jello and IP; my post was yes, it will become socialist and join the UASR after a brief period of independence. However, it seems (based on my reading so far) that Hawai'i might get cut loose during Red May and the aftermath; Japan and Britain are the only two powers with the...

Not so sure about Zinn becoming a Republican; his initial exposure to left thought was pre-WWII as a kid in NY with Red friends (he discusses it in "The Zinn Reader.") The POD would have to be further back. Furthermore, he could maintain a negative position about the war w/o Royan - Hiroshima...

Is this okay? From The Red Hibiscus: The Pacific Left and Hawai'i. Samuel Sukaton, Topgallant Publishing, Honolulu, 2011 Hawai'i, having been taken over by American capitalist adventurers in 1896 and annexed by McKinley's government in 1900, stood far beyond the tumult of the Revolution...

It certainly isn't, but Spain won't have the money to run a major campaign against Turkey, England, Scotland, and France all at once for very long. And, as he mentioned, a lot of that money is moving to Italian, German, and Dutch bankers. In fact, Aztec gold might fuel William the Silent in this...

Oh dear God yes. I've gotten pretty far and I'm already salivating about my Asian and Latino historical figures. Carlos Bulosan, a young Filipino emigre, writes his masterpiece, fictionalized autobiography America is in the Heart, juxtaposing the continuing development of the American Dream of...

CP victory world?

OMFGWTFBBQ Just burnt through IAWOLAWOT and WYWUAS; I know you don't need another voice in the chorus of approval, but you've done REAL good, statichaos. Just a personal thought - I wish you had more Jerry Brown here (and indeed, more New Left stuff in general.) The collapse of the black Civil...
