  1. Political; anti-Third Way

    Well, before the Financial Crisis turned them into deficit hawks, both Cameron and Mrs Merkel were thought to be "Red Conservatives", you could start from here ...

  2. Yugoslavia(1980 -2011) takes a different path

    By the way, in the 70s and till the mid 80s it was the Serbian ruling class that supported first and foremost Yugoslavism and liberal reforms, contrarily to the conservative Slovenian, Croat and Bosniak leaders, who advocated strict Kardeljsm.

  3. Yugoslavia(1980 -2011) takes a different path

    This is completely absurd, considering that Yugoslavia was constantly outvoted by the other republic with support from its two"provinces", and that besides Aleksandar Rankovic no Serb arrived to one of the top civilian positions of the Yugoslav state.

  4. WI: Salvatore Giuliano survives OTL betrayal & goes on to lead a successful Coup?

    A independent Sicily near the 50s is pretty much ASB, excpet if the Communist Party takes over. Your only chances are between 1943 nd 1946, with Umberto II accepting to launch a de facto civil war as King in Sicily being very close to ASB itself. In any case, it would be a Banana Republic...

  5. No Fascist Italy

    Mmmh ... I don't think we were that doomed. By the way, French ruling classes flirted with Authoritharianism, if not Fascism, for quite a long, before enthusiastically supporting Pètain ... When VE3 came to power, he refused a brutal crackdown on the Left despite the killing of his father by...

  6. No Fascist Italy

    When he came to the Throne, he was considered pretty progressive ...

  7. No Fascist Italy

    A socialdemocratic Italy, which is likely in the 30s, could well support austrian socialists against Dolfuss ... It is true that socialist leader Turati supported a German union, but if Germany goes nazi or authoritarian, anschluß won't pass easily ...

  8. A 2nd Italian Republic w/o Silvio Berlusconi

    Ah, well, it could take many unexpected spins: 1- Berlusconi listens to an early plan by Craxi, when the situation is not totally deteriorated, and creates a vaguely center-leftist party, maybe with support from Pannella, to rally liberal and moderate social forces behind Giuliano Amato...

  9. Question about red italy

    In 1956, the PCI very much supported repression, it was only a fringe led by Giolitti and others who deserted, the real rift happened with Prague 1968 ... I agree on the nation-wide Red Triangle, but I can see normalization in a comparatively short term, by coopting partisans in the new...

  10. Question about red italy

    It really depends: -After WW2, as the Communists will take the lead, you'll see energic attempts at reconciliation and cooptation of the Catholics, Italian communists voted in favour of keeping Catholicism as State Religion at the CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY. Of course the Papacy wouldn't mind, and...

  11. Noi non ci saremo - An Italian spin-off of "Protect and Survive: A Timeline"

    Ouch, my bad, I got confused and mixed Bonsignore e Castoldi ! Well, Castoldi then could definitely be a P2-ist socialist ...the wily smart bastard :D

  12. Noi non ci saremo - An Italian spin-off of "Protect and Survive: A Timeline"

    Don't forget also Luigi Tenco, he had a fairly atomic-ish song, although I can't remember the title ...and even Lucio Dalla !

  13. Noi non ci saremo - An Italian spin-off of "Protect and Survive: A Timeline"

    Speaking of Gladio, here you can find a very interesting book by Paolo Inzerilli, former commander of GLADIO itself, defending the organization and detailing its history and structure. A very interesting read and terrific piece of information :) http://www.robertochicco.com/iGladio/

    Well, it could well have failed, and the thing backlashed on the PCI !

  16. List of Italian Prime Ministers, 1948-2012

    1969 Achille Lauro (People's Democratic Party PPD) Lauro won in 1969 a meagre victory, due to rise of social tensions in 1968. He was eventually able to rally enough moderates behind the flag of his party due to a renewed Red Scare, but the strong comeback of the Socialist Party after the...

  17. Noi non ci saremo - An Italian spin-off of "Protect and Survive: A Timeline"

    By the way, I'm fairly curious : for whom is Castoldi voting for at elections ? I'd say Republican, considering his left-wing "simpathies" and his disdain for both the Party system and the P2; or Socialist, as he isn't very Atlanticist, and the PSI had a fairly effective marketing moment with...

  18. List of Italian Prime Ministers, 1948-2012

    Ouch, considering I'm a socialist, such a typo is very bad :D 1956 Giuseppe Saragat, PSDI Italian Socialdemocratic Party ITTL PSI and PCI didn't create the People's Front but rather presented themselves as Allied parties, thus preserving the PSI from a dramatic split and allowing a minority...

    1948 Palmiro Togliatti (Italian Communist Party - PCI) Dead 1949, due to complications after the Pallante assassination attempt 1949 Pietro Nenni (Italian Communist Party - PSI)

  20. Noi non ci saremo - An Italian spin-off of "Protect and Survive: A Timeline"

    Ouch,I hope my beloved two Presidents do not get shot ! At the same time, it's my greatest hope that the Avvocato gets a direct strike at his helicopter :D Great, great update ! Especially nice to see a "Sigonella on steroids", Castoldi can smuggle American nuclear weapons to Capo Marrargiu so...
