  1. How would a NATO invasion of Warsaw Pact go?

    Okay say that Austria is semi neutralised into “observational” sections with unarmed NATO and Warsaw Pact observers (to keep the local governments voting the correct ways obviously) we could have the great Austrian beer and smaltz war of two weekends?
  2. King Charles Gay?

    In the UK in the 1970s and 1980s there was a miniscule far left movement called Solidarity (UK) which was a cardanist workerist movement. It seems to have helped spawned the deliberately queer Homocult art movement ( https://chrishubley.medium.com/ ...
  3. AHC: optimize Soviet performance in WW2

    What is “the Soviet Union” what is “performance?” I assume “in” relates to the performance and interests during the war with a level of average bureaucratic or social movement blindness to future desires. The Soviet People haven’t been mentioned so widows and the dead exist to the extent that...

  5. Red Alert - Our 1953 USSR

    Comrades, I suspect that comrade Zhukov is unwilling to serve: as a military party member he holds pastiinost in the highest regard and is unwilling to allow even the appearance or slander of the party serving military interest to come before the social requirement that the military serve the...

    In Ireland over the divisive issues of socialisation, nation versus socialist commonwealth, atheism versus catholicism, one nationalism versus another, two major religions, a bunch of regions, an imperial ex army of whites, a new imperial army of workers. It may not be the kinds of continental...

  9. Stakhanovishchina fails

    Wotcher comrades, As we all know, after the Ural-Siberian crisis and the scissors crisis, the failure of the NEP in the Soviet Union was a forgone conclusion.

  11. Would Japan surrender conditionally without an invasion or atomic bombs?

    Despite Japan being able to develop a large post war left the institutions that articulate mass working class action to the state domain and the working class networks required to articulate mass action within the working class itself did not effectively exist in 1945. The Japanese state was...

    Provocation: is there any way after Pearl Harbour in which the IJN’s institutional opinion would be relevant to the surrender debates?
  13. WI/AHC: A British Revolution in 1919

    Australia’s ALP will be pushed further left by “see the Wobblies were right!” And by the white reaction in Australia.
  14. WI/AHC: A British Revolution in 1919

    Minority labour government before 1919. (State instability) The Old and New Guard form emergency units in reaction to Labour government. Strikes. White policing. Government falls. More strikes and counter strike action. New minority Labour government: better if reliant on Irish nationalist...
  15. Would Japan surrender conditionally without an invasion or atomic bombs?

    Let me assist debate with controversy: the historical surrender was conditional due to the choices of US policy makers regarding the person of the Emperor and an Emperor existing. Japan couldn’t stipulate this condition but the choice was made during occupation. People have raised Napoleons...

  17. American Middle Class doesn’t build up between 1945 & 1970, expectations aren’t build up . . .

    A low equilibrium trap is going to seriously reduce the rate of GDP growth, strengthen recessions, reduce sector II production making sector I overcapitalisation crises more apparent. With a return in value lower than the rate of growth of value there'll be absolute and relative emiseration in...
  18. What does a Finlandized Eastern Europe look like?

    Well imagine if like Finland's nearest non-soviet state had remained formally neutral in WWII, that central Europe's nearest non-soviet state had remained formally neutral in WWII. With a neutral German in WWII, sure, central Europe might be finlandisable.
  19. 1950s "Limited" Nuclear War

    For the Soviet Union to perceive the need to first strike, they would have to have had perceived a first strike. So there's going to be considerable institutional lag between their perception and their action: they will not be prepared to act first and fast, but will be accidentally acting...
