    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    No real reason to not rebuild on the land that's already cleared from the swampland, since the location is pretty good once you clear it and there's a lot of history to look after. On the other hand I doubt it'll expand much beyond that.

    What If Jean-Marie Le Pen won the 2002 French presidential election?

    There's no way the FN win an election before their "normalization" drive and the collapse of traditional French politics. But assuming a freak event, he would have no one to call on in the assembly so he'd have to govern with a prime minister from one of the main parties anyway. He wouldn't be...

    La Guillotine Permanente: A French Revolutionary Timeline

    I think the biggest issue to criticize from the point of view of a successful revolution will be the purge of its radical wing, actually. There's going to be questions asked about whether the Hebertists really had to be purged when they also had to rehabilitate a lot of their associates to get...

    La Guillotine Permanente: A French Revolutionary Timeline

    Great to see some attention to the French revolution and especially its radical edge! Some writing thoughts so far from my French mind: - I think you meant the Marais not Marasie - You have some cases of é being replaced by è in names I'm also interested in seeing how the coalition between the...

    The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    That's why they added the sauce, I expect. It would be unbearable without it but a good sauce can save a lot of dishes.

    Fear Nothing But God: A Graphical History

    Impressive! At this point you may as well set up an actual wiki (I think there's free ones?), this way it'll handle variable screen and text sizes better.

    "Our Struggle": What If Hitler Had Been a Communist?

    Is the promise a lie though. Countries who did make their own revolutions did get their own independence from imperialism. Vietnam is a good example.

    Oh damn, factories? Yeah that must inflame the nationalist elements in China.

    The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    "Farmer" is a very specific word, often distinguishable from "farm worker" and I think it's worth keeping that in mind. The US may have been a land of settler-farmers, and frankly labeling those as likely reactionary for propertarian reasons is probably accurate. But it also had a bunch of land...

    The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    On the other hand, if you managed to avoid the dust bowl or something similar, it probably means you have a more robust agriculture that hasn't fallen prey to the monoculture and soil exhaustion traps? Unless you decide to merely delay it and have the 50s be your dust bowl equivalent wake up...

    The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    The currency talk makes me think of Cuba's system too. They have lots of trouble with acquiring foreign currency and sorely need it to import anything. Though of course tourists tend to come to them so the stores are on their territory. Yeah I kinda agree, this is detailed and quite well...

    Green Revolution on the Golden Gate

    Oh yeah, this campaign angle makes sense in the context of Democrats' thought patterns. They're pretty convinced that swing voters are moderates rather than all over the place, after all, and this has been their target demographic for a long time. It's just funny.

    Green Revolution on the Golden Gate

    This does feel like a weakness of the story to me too. The republicans were already deep on a path to radicalization and arresting that seems unlikely.

    Green Revolution on the Golden Gate

    The democrats nominating an anti healthcare, anti gay marriage candidate is way too real. It's one of those cases where the moderate republican looks attractive just to teach them a lesson in having guts.

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    So basically OTL's first red scare? Yeah that fits. Without a strong communist internationale the second might not be necessary, especially if you're fine having the Socialists as a semi relevant third party. Might be interesting to explore who sticks with them (or is willing to enter coalition...

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    Without any red scares, socialists would probably grow into quite a threat to the two party system. It really really hurt their growth, and that growth was more due to material conditions in industrial and extractive workers than to ideology. I would also expect disgruntled radicals in the...

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    The US' socialists didn't fade quietly they were killed or imprisoned. The unions didn't turn into pathetic electoral/crime machines without some serious cracking down on their socialist leanings. Without a convergent succession of red scares and with more radical founding for the freedomites, I...

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    I mean anything a bit more serious than "maybe vaguely social democratic stuck in a pro business or fiscally conservative party". I expect it's just going to be a case of convergent "end of history" victory of liberalism though, despite the different US derailing all the political trends of the...

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    So all the actual leftists got ran out or killed as OTL I expect? I would have expected Freedomites to have a harder time getting rid of their left leaning inclinations than the OTL republicans considering they're attracting more radical figures, but I guess that would be too good for America.
