  1. What if communism didn’t exist

    I didn't include this in the previous posts because I thought it might be a diatribe, but the stages of development (feudal -> capitalism -> socialism -> communism) is more of an orthodox Marxist opinion that many leftists pushed back on especially in the 20th century, with some positing that...
  2. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    The Soviet Destroyers tasked with shadowing USN Carrier Battle Groups would fit the concept of suicide. https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/how-soviets-planned-go-war-americas-navy Tokarev also writes that the naval air force, tasked with sending its bombers against US carrier...
  3. Russian Victory in the Russo-Japanese War?

    I think the biggest change is going to be with regard to Britain. A Britain that sees Russia as a threat isn't going to be as obviously anti-German.
  4. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I think the Vizier should formally usurp the throne and kill off the House of Osman.The Ottomans have lost whatever influence they had left and at this point in time, they don’t have the same prestige as they later possessed.

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Radical working masses, you say. I have only one issue with that (and it takes the form of the American/British working class). See, there is a difference between the stable stakeholding poor and the unstable stakeless poor. If you are poor and have a stake in something which provides you the...
  6. What if communism didn’t exist

    Other ideologies like Proudhonism and Syndicalism take its place

    Best of Both Worlds: An IndyCar Timeline
    Threadmarks: 1995 Round Three

    ROUND THREE: PHOENIX Two weeks later, INDYCART came back to America for the Slick 50 200. Arie Luyendyk started on pole and led early, but the Newman-Haas cars showed they were the class of the field again. Vasser and Michael Andretti swapped the lead throughout the race multiple times. It...
  8. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    True, but Japan is ethnically homogenous and would have a resurgent China on its doorstep. There aren't a large number of potential victims near by. It could only become a threat after rebuilding its navy which would take decades after the occupation ends. I don't think Japan would be in any...
  9. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    In other word, it may be possible to have the Transformers integrated into the Marvel Mythos, ie, Prime could be the one who does the Snap! While we're on the topic of Toonami... #WenToonami I'm sure Victory Gundam running concurrent with G could work.
  10. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    Yes, thanks to having an optical datalink to the launching aircraft. It entered service in 1990, so it basically is a post-Cold War weapon.
  11. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    I would assume Russia would get none of that.

    WI: Longer Lived Stephen A. Douglas

    I don't know how supportive Douglas would have been in regards to Lincoln's slavery related policies, but he certainly would have supported the union. He might have supported some of Lincoln's fiscal measures to finance the war for instance. Besides policy, I can see Douglas doing one of two...

    Bob Haney's Marvel Universe, A Comics Counterfactual

    To be fair the OTL Doom Patrol didn't start off surreal but I do love the idea of the later versions X-Men having surreal Doom Patrol style adventures.
  14. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    According to my meager understanding of the subject seems like the AGM 84 original version was designed to attack ships and surfaced submarines in the open waters and could not be used for attacking ships in Port AGM84E SLAM could however do that but imho it’s post Cold War weapon ?

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Understood, and with your explanation I likewise respect your opinion.

    What if communism didn’t exist

    The "stage-ist" purview of "communism from socialism" as a state of affairs that can be established and developed by a party regime and to which reality will have to adjust itself is naive and, frankly, misleading. Most self-described "communist" parties that have historically attained power...
  17. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Yeah, that went right past me in my effort to be cute. :teary:
  18. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    I guess you could have an Albanian bunker craze but with Coastal arty.

    AHC: Jewish POTUS Before 2015

    Obama doesn't run in 2008 (somehow he gets convinced that he isn't ready) and Russ Feingold runs as the candidate of the liberal wing of the Democrats.
