    Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    The USSR from 1945-1975 had a massive econmic boom, many western economists though that the USSR would overtake the USA. Even in the 80s the economic stagnation was comparable to GDP growth rates in modern Europe.
  2. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I don’t see anyone dismissing those points here. Red has already said he’s not touching the subject and that it probably wouldn’t change anyway in his TL if he did so what exactly is the point of discussing it here instead of a different thread? It’s just detailing the thread.
  3. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    That's simply not true. The USSR had above average growth rates for much of the time period you just mentioned. The USSR was and is an extraordinary case of economic growth and development in the 20th century. Where an argument could be made is for their return on capital and capital efficiency...
  4. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    True, but one hopes by this point in the war that failures to explode are rare, unlike the early war when failure was normal and actually exploding was the exception to the rule.
  5. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Holy shit with that Turkey. Screwed really badly. It faced its own Trianon. Now rise of Turkish Islamo-fascism is very inevitable. At least Italy got pretty much what it wanted so perhaps no Mussolini here. Anyway, why Italy has Corsica?
  6. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Tell me, if the Soviet Union had zero growth in the 1920s, how did it return to it’s pre-WW1 economic strength by 1927? Again, if that was the case, how did it reach it’s pre-WW2 economic strength by 1948? “Probably”? Oh, I see, you aren’t actually basing this off any actual research into the...

    Threadmarks: Groups E-H 2020-21

    France and Switzerland both easily handled their path in Group E without too much trouble, placing first and second, respectively. The US would take third as Serbia would fail to get out of fourth place once more... Spain and Germany locked in a tight race for first, with both teams dropping...

  10. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    I mean this is just not true. You can restate it as many times as you want, but you have failed to engage with, let alone refute, that (1) the Solow-Swan insight that economic output is not based on the initial level of capital over the long run or (2) the fact that the vast majority of...
  11. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    There was little real growth in the USSR. There was some as technology did advance but it wasn't that much. You had virtually zero growth in the 1920s , decent growth in the 1930s at the expense of starving its peasants to death, little growth in the 1940s, decent growth in the 1950s-early...
  12. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    You missed the opportunity to have the POD be the US getting their ass handing to them in a much more brutal War of 1812, with New England seceding from the Union and joining the British Empire as a protectorate. Also, based and Hamiltonpilled.

  17. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    It is, except for the fa ct that the only way to drive the UK out of the war, and stop the God-cursed firebombing is to starve them into submission. I will absolutely agree that the smartest thing the Reich could have done the day the French surrendered is stop all but purely defensive actions...

    @CalBear I remember you saying there were reinforcements going to the Far East around Pearl Harbor. What were they again?
  19. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    They were both taken by George Rose in Los Angeles during the 1980 campaign. I'm not aware if there's one of Carter, but I thought they paired well together.
