  1. What if communism didn’t exist

    You seem to be arguing mostly against communism as far as feasibility. I haven't commented on that, but I respect your opinion. Regardless, I was not talking about whether or not communism is feasible, but merely emphasizing that we should use proper definitions in order to understand historical...

    WI: Japanese Madagascar

    This isn't as insane as it seems... the Malagasy people have cultural ties to the peoples of Southeast Asia... the Japanese could (try to) portray it as not a case of "we are becoming an imperialist power, just like the Europeans", but as "we are restoring an Asian people to their rightful place...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Maybe it'll be called Shiwei for the Chinese as a whole, although I don't think the Khitans will be that notable in OTL Mongolia compared to the Zubus and the Tatars. As of 1482 they're settling around Inner Mongolia and southern Manchuria. Because of that, I still think Tataria might become...
  4. WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    If there were a fair vote almost certain incorporation into India, and if the Portugese were receptive it would likely be a vote between the first and second options, neither side wants an Independent Goa.
  5. What if communism didn’t exist

    Yes, that is the only difference. I did not say we should take bad results out of consideration with "but it's not true communism." I mean that we aren't going to get any meaningful understanding of the functioning of communist-led regimes if we don't at least attempt to understand their...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Think of communism as a hypothesis about the world. It is thought that if X, Y and Z steps are taken, there will come a result that the communists call True Communism. At the beginning, you have Our World (of nations, borders, hierarchical humans, etc) and at the end of the process you are...
  7. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    In general, they'll get more mileage out of conventional weapons. The Japanese only resorted to suicide tactics because conventional means weren't just ineffective, they couldn't do anything. In particular, most of the tactics you outlined here are a job for missiles, an area in which the USSR...
  8. AHC: Jewish POTUS Before 2015

    ...Louis Brandeis the Progressive vice-presidential nomination; as expected, Brandeis turned him down. Theoretically, if Brandeis had accepted *and* nobody got a majority in the Electoral College *and* the House was unable to elect a president *and* the Progressives finished ahead of the...

  10. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    I did not know any of that. Thx. :cool::cool: As for strength-to-weight, I was thinking more in terms of absolute strain resistance, which (as you say) it doesn't have an edge in.

  12. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    Missile boats. Missile boats were very popular for the task. They and aircraft were the primary means for most 3rd-world countries - submarines are pretty expensive and were not common. Land-based coastal antiship missiles require fairly dense and sophisticated targeting networks to have much...
