International Revolutionary Armed Forces Future Combat Armor, expected to become standard issue by the 2030s. Combat Armor, a new front of the Cold War's Arms Race, has seen rapid development in recent history, after it became clear that Mittelleuropa and the Syndicalist Internationale were deeply entrenched and not showing any signs of faltering. Heavier versions of Combat Armor, nicknamed "Power Armor" are still part of the realm of science fiction, but it is not seen as an impossible task by the All Union Department of War or the Kaiser's Military Industrial Complex.

Rommelstadt (formerly Sapporo) the capital of the Hokkaido Regency, also known as North Japan. Allied with Mittelleuropa, the Hokkaido Regency lives in constant fear of Syndicalist invasion, and is one of the main flashpoints of a hypothetical World War 3.

Solar panels on top of a German home, 2010. In response to the threat of climate change, Chancellor Wilhelm Von Lettow Vorbeck, with the support of the German Greens, signed into law an act granting tax breaks to any family who was to switch their home entirely to solar energy; this tax cut would last for ten years. It is expected that by 2025 95% of homes in Germany will be solar powered. Meanwhile, the Combined Syndicates is also making headway in solar energy; their Badlands and Death Valley arrays collectively distribute power to 40% of the nation, and an expansion into the Great Plains is planned in 2018. The superpowers of the world might be in ideological conflict forever but they are united against their mutual threat of climate change.

A group of Finnish radicals who found shelter in Norway. 1939
After the creation of the government of the "Imperial Coalition" (DKP-DVP-DNVP) in the German Empire, an "exclusive law against the socialists" was again adopted. As a global hegemon, Germany signaled the beginning of terror in its puppets. This contributed to the return of the times of political migration. In particular, many progressive figures in Finland were forced to leave their homeland. In other states, the law also contributed to the rampage of international reaction. In particular, the new Russian dictator - Dmitry Romanov (protege of the aristocracy and oligarchy) announced the need to destroy the Bolshevik nests in the ranks of the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks. As a result, Norway became a refuge for the revolutionaries of its neighbors, which contributed to the radicalization of the political situation in the country.

One of the migrants was a young sailor Ivan Antonovich (Antipovich) Efremov. 1908-th year of birth, he fought in the ranks of the Red Army (attributing himself one year). After the war, he hid for a long time, and in the end he managed to avoid the white terror (since he was never a member of any party). Since 1923 he was a sailor, combining a break between voyages with attempts to get an education by attending an externally different education. In the second half of the 1930s, he was forced to emigrate to Norway, where he sailed to Britain. In the union within the framework of the refugee adaptation program, he was able to obtain higher education and become a geologist.

Ivan Efremov became the creator of tafonomy - the science of the regularities of the processes of burial of fossil remains. In the second half of the fifties, on the wave of cosmic achievements of the Syndicalist International, he began to write philosophical works. Together with the Young Teilhardist (the followers of the French priest and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, but having to him the same attitude as the Young Hegelians to Hegel), he became the founder of the philosophy of the New (in some sources of Western, Materialistic) Cosmism. They saw the world as a global evolution of all things, the natural result of which would be the exploration of outer space. He criticized le Camus and other existentialists, defending the role of the human mind in the process of cognition. "They came to an absurd idea to oppose a person and everything else to the objective world." Existentialists argue that objectification kills the person, the individual becomes human, one of them said strange and terrible words that there is neither humanity nor the people, and there are only millions of singles. They are alienating themselves from nature, coming to the crudest subjectivism. " - he wrote about them. However, the philosopher was far from idealizing nature, believing that the process of biological evolution is blind and cruel, and should be replaced by "wise guidance over the blind elements."

People become defenseless victims of an inept and outdated political administration. In an effort to ensure the stability of power, politicians organize a consistent hierarchy of privileges, very similar to the hierarchy of gangsters, closedly narrowing their circles with ever greater privileges for the oligarchic peak.

Young people find immeasurably boring any attempt to understand the elders, not being able to catch in the surviving scraps of life of their departed "ancestors", as you call us, the main thoughts, dreams, expectations and joys. Only after heavy upheavals you come to the tracks of our lives sensitive and enlightened. Then the mother or father is revealed to you quite different, and it turns out that you did not know them at all.

At the highest stage of development, there can be no misunderstanding between thinking beings. The thinking of man, his reason reflect the laws of the logical development of the surrounding world, of the whole cosmos. In this sense man is a microcosm. Thinking follows the laws of the universe, which are one everywhere. Thought, wherever it appears, will inevitably have as its basis a mathematical and dialectical logic. There can be no "other", completely different ways of thinking, since there can not be a person outside of society and nature ...

Inferno - from the Latin word "lower, underground", it meant hell. Before us came the magnificent poem of Dante, who, although he wrote only political satire, created a gloomy picture of a multi-stage inferno.
He also explained the previously understandable to the occultists the terrible essence of the name "inferno", its hopelessness. The inscription: "Leave the hope of everyone coming in here" - on the gates of hell reflected the main property invented by the people of the abode of torment. This intuitive presentiment of the true background of the historical development of human society - in the evolution of all life on Earth as a terrible path of grief and <...>. The notorious natural selection of nature appeared as the most vivid expression of infernality, a method to achieve blindness as in the game, throwing dice countless times. But behind every roll are millions of lives that perished in suffering and despair. A brutal selection formed and directed evolution along the path of improving the organism in only one, the main direction - the greatest freedom, independence from the external environment. But this inevitably required an increase in the severity of feelings - even just nervous activity - and led to a mandatory increase in the amount of suffering on the path of life.
In other words, this way led to despair. There was a multiplication of the immature, hypertrophy of monotony, like sand in the desert, a violation of uniqueness and unique jewelry by uncountable repetition ... Passing trillions of transformations from obscure sea creatures to a thinking organism, the animal life of billions of years of geological history was inferno.
Man, as a being thinking, got into a double inferno - for the body and for the soul. At first it seemed to him that he would be saved from all life's troubles by flight into nature. Thus were created fairy tales about primitive paradise. When the structure of the human psyche became clearer, scientists determined that the inferno for the soul is primitive instincts, a captivity in which a person holds himself, thinking that he retains an individuality. Some philosophers, speaking of the fatal invincibility of instincts, contributed to their development and thereby made it difficult to get out of the inferno. Only the creation of conditions for the preponderance of non-instinctive, and self-improving individuals could help make a great step towards raising public consciousness.
Religious people began to preach that nature, conducive to the development of instincts, is from the embodiment of evil, long known as Satan. The scientists objected, believing that the process of blind natural evolution is directed toward liberation from the external environment and, consequently, to the exit from the inferno.
With the development of powerful state apparatus of power and oppression, with the strengthening of nationalism with tightly locked borders, inferno began to be created in society.

And from what it develops happiness? From a comfortable, calm and free life on the one hand. And also from the strictest self-discipline, eternal dissatisfaction, the desire to beautify life, expand knowledge, push the limits of the world.

I see that we have done nothing to create security systems against lies and slander, and without this the morality of society will steadily fall, creating the ground for usurping power, tyranny or a fanatical and manic "leadership." The law of unfavorable coincidences, or Finnegan's law, has long been known as half-jokingly called the serious tendency of all processes of society to turn into failure, error, destruction - from the point of view of man. Of course, this is only a partial reflection of the great averaging law, according to which low or elevated structures are discarded by the process. Man is always trying to achieve the enhancement of structures without creating a base, strives to get something for nothing. The development of wildlife is built on blind play in the samples. Nature has already played trillions of dice in the development of its structures, and man is proud of the very first samples, as a wise experiment. In fact, they need a great many to catch up with the complexity of nature and penetrate into the issues that have already been solved.
Human society is the creation of people, not of nature, so there were not millions of samples, and Finnegan's law for social structures turns into Ahriman's Arrow with a directed tendency to annihilate small numbers, that is, perfection. In nature, it is overcome by selection in a huge time duration, because nature copes with it, creating in the organisms repeatedly repeated protective adaptations and stores of strength.
Turning Finnegan's Law into an Arrow in human society becomes a disaster, because it hits precisely the highest manifestations of man, all striving for ascendancy, those who move progress-I mean true progress, that is, an ascent from the inferno.

The cruelty of state oligarchic capitalism inevitably makes people's feelings, their sense of the world small, superficial, transitory. The soil is created for the directed evil - Ahriman's Arrow, as a process inherent in this particular structure of society. Where people said to themselves: "Nothing can be done," know that the Arrow will amaze the best in their life. "

I focus more on the old versions. Of course much in his biography remains unlikely, but in itself the character is gorgeous - though, because it turned out to be a real Anti-Tolkien. That's why it's interesting for me to get something if one of the influential fantasy works is written by the Left Neo-Paganist (although here there is a controversial question with the totalists, he may be like a Hoxhaist-like socialist or a left-centrist nationalist).

Concept art of the new International Revolutionary Defense Forces (IRDF) Porphyrion Main Battle Tank. Designed to replace their Goliath series of MBTs, the Porphyrion is armed with an electrothermal-chemical 155mm cannon, a 25mm automatic cannon, a twin set of 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Guns, and a set of laser defense systems able to detect and destroy a wider range of targets from farther distances, neutralize ATGMs, incinerate drones with lasers and destroy incoming enemy artillery fire. It was deployed en masse in the mid 2020s and left Mittleeuropa scrambling to keep up. The Kaiserriech may have advantages in rocketry, but the armored giants of the Syndicalist West are far superior to anything Berlin has in it's land Arsenal, and the Porphyrion is living proof of this reality.

I am sure that the Syndicalists will soon catch up with them. The Prussian social structure remained at the level of the 19th century.
