Venezuela is capitalist. Privately-owned businesses and resources continue to characterize much of the economy. They just happen to have a glorified social-democrat party in charge right now.

Regarding the last point about Florida being the prime locale for finding Nazi spies: Maybe we could work in an alternate fate for Giuseppe Zangara - where instead of assassinating Anton Cermak (who is probably not the mayor of Chicago ITTL's 1933 anyway), he ends up becoming a key...

Just make it more obvious that J.J. Abrams is the one in the director's chair. If one is an alt-right/MRA/Stormfront type of person, that is certainly the case.

Chiang Kai-Shek leading TTL's collaborators in the 2nd Sino-Japanese war isn't the least bit surprising - if anything, it's Wang Jingwei's loyalty to China that's a bit harder to believe. Maybe a post similar to the earlier bits detailing Henry Ford's Nazi years could be written up about Chiang...

Probably for the same reason why the Nazis are better at mass production ITTL: capital flight. We've already seen what Henry Ford contributed to the Nazi war effort, so maybe other capitalist running dogs from the Americas have made similar investments in the Fascist countries. By early 1942...

It already happened. All of these examples have been made after 2000: Sailor Moon Cutie Honey (movie) Nana (movie) Paradise Kiss (movie) Rurouni Kenshin (live-action movie trilogy) Death Note Prison School There are also plenty of live-action Japanese shows and movies based on manga but...

Just to add some perspective, a few photos of OTL Buenos Aires from around this time: Besides that front, there'll also be major fighting in Colombia, and probably a similarly bloody battle over Barranquilla.

ASB. I'm not saying that acronym out of malice or contempt for OP. The things is, so long as there are stories with even remotely open endings, there will be sequels, re-makes, spin-offs, etc. The whole history of movies is full of unoriginal works, many of which are the among the most...

No, my post was not referring to your statements. As for "Communist Hawaii for Free Yugoslavia/Czechoslovakia"? Maybe not. While it'd certainly help the Soviets with their power projection in the Pacific, I'd still expect the USSR to be a land-based power first and foremost, and remain...

Japanese-American internment is an dis-comforting subject for Americans who like to view their country as an unquestionable good guy in WWII. Anything to rationalize a racist policy as being "oh but it could've been worse for them" may thus seem appealing.

Why, of course Monty Python will be fond of INTERNATIONAL COMMUNISM ITTL.

^Sounds like they'd much rather live among other right-wing Jews in Western Europe than in TTL's Palestine. My ISOT scenario would involve a modern-day internet bigot (the kind that gets banned from AH.com). They'd show up in the UASR if they're an American GG/MRA/Trump fan, or an equivalent...

Even in your scenario, I think there'd still be more aid in rebuilding than you suggest. America and co will probably still prefer a Japan in their orbit of the Cold War world, and rebuilding their industrial capacity under a capitalist system will be preferable in the eyes of US-led occupation...

All the propaganda about monarchs being divine and godly won't be enough to prevent them from falling out of favor sooner or later in times of crisis - and Japan's is no exception in this scenario. Assuming the emperor gets killed sooner or later in the allied invasion, people will be too busy...

Japanese people aren't a hive mind. If the Germans didn't all become suicidal when Hitler killed himself, then neither would the Japanese after the end of their monarchy. ...only to fight yet another war against them a few decades later. The allied powers wouldn't tolerate anything other...

Sanzo Nosaka (Japanese communist) Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera Oscar Niemeyer (Brazilian architect) Amelia Earhart Malcolm Little Ernesto Guevara (should be 11-12 years old at the war's start) Marlene Dietrich (German actress) Anna May Wong (Chinese American actress) Alexandra Kollontai...

Well, with a post-1945 PoD?: - prevent the Yugoslav-Soviet split. With friendly comrades rather than non-aligned leadership in Sarajevo, the Warsaw Pact has a significant boost to its population and resources. - Somehow avoid scenarios like Hungary 1956 and/or Czechoslovakia 1968. Those...

For those not familiar, DisneyQuest is basically an arcade at the Downtown Disney/Disney Springs shopping center in Disney World. Originally opened in 1998, it was planned to be a chain of "indoor interactive theme parks" built in other major cities across the US and elsewhere. There actually...

Besides the whole "no necromancy" thing, here's a pro-tip: I'd avoid using ableist language when complementing a leftist. But in the meantime, I'd recommend GlobalHumanism's "The 4th International - Rosa's Reich" TL. AFAIK s/he's still actively writing it.

Sounds like Cheka is what we'd call IOTL a "brocialist" - apathetic at best about the issues faced by women and other marginalized groups, and outright apologistic for rapists at worst. Considering the cases of attempted cover-ups of sexual assault within even present-day leftist groups, a user...
