Hipsters. Fundamentalist Pinnacle Hipsters.

I'm kind of the opposite. There is a morbid curiosity in wanting to see what it looks like after generations of living in the drug-fueled haze of the Oswald years.

What does the Maine party want?

I bet I can guess what sorts of drugs he sells at this Humpmart...

This seems like something that would be right up the RU's alley. Just replace the haircuts with something more 70s.

Wasn't the UoB always socialist? Syndicalism is a type of socialism no?

Pretty good. I enjoyed that path.

Sablin's path is a little confusing on the democratic front. On the one hand, his focus has him switching to the multi-party democracy option, but the description of that focus makes it sound like he will be suppressing any party that falls outside of a very narrow view of what is considered...

I'm not sure honestly. Neither is obviously superior to the other in any way that jumps out at me.

Understandable. I also found Bukharina to be the more fun libsoc path. She manages to do everything that Sablin does and more, and I just found her to be a lot more likeable in her writing.

I found pragmatic sablin more well written personally, they do a really good job of portraying his struggle between his ideals and the immediate needs of his state.

-ORRA Chief Patton sends congratulations to his acolytes, unaware that they are double agents in the service of President Steele, circa 1940

Novosibirsk is, depending on what path you take, either an oligarchy pretending to be democratic or a shaky democracy that manages to arise from out of the oligarchy. I'm not sure how to explain my thoughts on Taboritsky. I just found him to be so utterly insane that it sort of removed my...

Taboritsky is a little too over the top evil to be effectively depressing IMO. Novosibirsk isn't exactly the brightest of paths, but I do think that a lot of the fandom somewhat overblows just how depressing they are. Shafarevich wasn't so much depressing as infuriating. If you are worried about...

These mirror versions are really cool, although I don't think there would be that much ideological divergence for some of them. So Kruschev wouldn't turn the despotist Tyumen into socdems, just a more sane despotism. Looking forward to it if you decide to do the other regions as well.

Zlatoust and Onega have some but not too much.

Was it ever not the best path? Any outcome that doesn't involve Huttig getting taken down there and then results in his abomination of a state ruling over Africa for at least some time, and I really don't see how that can possibly be a better outcome under any circumstance.

Hmmm. Maybe the lore can start with a more moderate labor politician running as the left-wing candidate at first, and then he gets assassinated in the lead-up to the civil war which leads to his movement getting radicalized and Reed taking over? That way we still get the CSA, but with a slightly...
