That's why I felt it deserved a better go around in the Reds!-verse. I'll do season 2 next.

Wade Welles: We have a duty, Logan. We can't just abandon other worlds' proletariat to their fate, not when we have the means to make it better. Logan Mallory: Wade, listen to yourself. We don't have the time, the energy or the means to help an infinity of worlds where capitalism rules America...

"We'll Stick Around", the song which introduced everyone to Dave Grohl as more than just the drummer. Not exactly a popular choice, I know, but I love it. It wasn't a single as Kurt didn't want to hear it on the radio all the time since it was clearly about Courtney Love. It's not perfect...

Soros is just a rando billionaire that's slightly left of center on social issues that got turned into the far-right's boogeyman and source of all evil. It's like asking what if Lee Iacocca or Mark Cuban didn't exist? Well they didn't exist. The far-right would've found another liberal...

Well I imagine Colin Baker wouldn't have been fired after Season 23, JNT would've been allowed to leave without Grade threatening to cancel the show if he left, we would've gotten a new producer and would've likely butterflied the 7th Doctor era, no Andrew Cartmel, Ian Briggs or Ben Aaronovich...

No, it just happened to play on TV (yes I watched TV on an actual TV in the year 2021).

I just came up with the idea after re-watching The Hunt for Red October on TV last night.

The Hunt for William the Conqueror (1990) Crew: Directed by: Aleksei Balabanov Produced by: Mace Neufeld, Igor Nosov, Vladislav Sverkunov Screenplay by: Joss Whedon and Aleksei Balabanov Cinematography by: Alexander Filatov Edited by: Marcia Griffin Music by: Basil Poledouris Production...

One I wholeheartedly recommend is Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline

Not sure about Bulgaria not going communist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_Uprising Yes it was a failed revolution but if the alternate third international actually thinks things through better and gives the Bulgarian communists better support it might happen sometime in the 30s.

Alright, you win. Can't top this.

I've been thinking about Jack London. Given that his time in the Klondike OTL negatively impacted his health leading to his death in 1916 at the age of 40, would London even live long enough to see the revolution happen, let alone play an important part in it? Then again, his journey to the...

I'm gonna guess that, with the legal avenues for change cut off, Haywood and London will refocus the socialist movement into the IWW instead as an underground organization that begins to low-key resist the Frick dictatorship while laying the groundwork for a revolution. My prediction is that...

Given the way things are going I think Victor Berger's assessment would be accurate, at least from his more moderate perspective. De Leon gave the government all the justification they needed to ban the SLP and in the process all but ensured a Frick presidency and a National Party majority in...

Yep. That's usually how it goes with revolution timelines. Things get gradually worse and the situation more unstable until this boil over.

I absolutely hate it when TLs portray a communist USA as a carbon copy of the Soviet Union right down to collapsing in the 90s. If a socialist revolution were to occur around 1919 there's absolutely no reason for a socialist USA to do things even remotely the same way as the USSR especially...

Alright, it's showtime. The SPD played themselves so the time has come for the actual radicals to show them what a true proletarian government looks like.

Not sure about America staying capitalist but a socialist Russia isn't inconceivable. The Russian Revolution almost resulted in Kerensky's government being toppled by the revolutionary Marxist socialist "Bolsheviks" but their leadership had their heads so far up their assess under Trotsky that...

I can only dread the kind of economic and political mess the Warsaw Pact would be if what happened to America, happened to the USSR instead. I cannot imagine capitalism being restored in (for example my own home country of) Bulgaria without a massive spike in unemployment, poverty and crime as...

One way to accurately determine the number of votes that correspond to a percentage is to take the total number of votes, divide by 100 and then multiply by the percentage you need. For example if the total number of votes is 600, and you need to determine how much is 15% of the votes, just...
