  1. Ruins Revisited: The Robert Taft Story

    In fairness, the Anti-Revolutionary Party of the Netherlands was decidedly Protestant (if as traditionalist conservative as Christian democratic before pillarisation started breaking down), the Scandinavian Christian democratic parties are more than non-entities, and the CDU does have at least...

  2. Ruins Revisited: The Robert Taft Story

    To be honest, I don't think that Patton will win - precisely because the post seems to very much indicate that he will be elected. The last few years of Ruins have featured a sequence of people who look like they'll win but then lose (Landon, La Follete, Wallace, possibly Taylor, etc.). If...

  3. Ruins Revisited: The Robert Taft Story

    Given the references to CBS as privately-owned and presented as the rival of the ABC, I presume that they're basically equivalents of ITV and the BBC respectively?

  4. The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    I don't really like the use of rebellion, because I think that that word would be associated to the Revolution by synonymic association, so given a reactionary war a title even remotely similar to the heroic First and Second Revolutions doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

  5. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    I for one am still confused as to why imperialist domination by one nation over others and exploitation of those dominated nations by another is considered something worth preserving to the extent that it's justified to kill people and fight a war over it; unless, of course, something's mumbled...

  6. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    No alert or update on anything that's been posted is more exciting than a new Ruins update. Anyways, that's very interesting stuff. The British have underestimated the CPI for far too long, and they will pay dearly for it, even if the Revolution doesn't succeed.

  7. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    Perhaps the People's Labor Party or the Working People's Party? The first is a nice-sounding name IMO that calls it both the people's and labor parties, while the second has the same goal of tying the party to the workers and the people, but almost has something of a folksy, populist air to it...

  8. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    The Co-operative Commonwealth doesn't seem to be to the left of the Progressives.

  9. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    It's nice that Western Sahara is (probably) going to become a free democracy in Ruins rather than what it became in OTL.

  10. AHC: GOP New England, Democratic South, but...

    Which would probably be difficult to achieve without avoiding the Great Migration, which could probably best be avoided by a stronger Reconstruction (probably including 40 acres and a mule) creating lasting civil rights protections for blacks. Doing so would probably require a stronger Radical...

  11. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    I doubt that the Chinese killed Willkie, given that the autopsy produced no evidence of wrongdoing and considering the fact that Willkie had a heart attack in OTL (probably at least partially caused by unhealthy behavior). That being said, suspicions of wrongdoing could very well have effects...

  12. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    I could see a new Troika forming between Tukhachevsky, Bukharin and Kirov, or perhaps Tukhachevsky will be a figurehead and still direct most efforts but Bukharin and Kirov will play junior roles just below Tukhachevsky.

  13. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    If Harold Stassen serves in the Navy like OTL, he seems like a good possible choice for Secretary of the Navy. I could also see Taft appointing Joseph Kennedy Sr. to a position such as Treasury Secretary, but then again being a businessman might no longer be considered a qualification for that...

  14. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Three: Revolution

    And now it begins.

  15. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    This may be conflating Presidents a bit too much, but I think it'd be very interesting if Andrew Johnson and LBJ get conflated.

  16. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    Zioneer's scenario reminds me of Cold War-era Italy; politics are largely divided between a centrist party and a communist party that's perpetually in opposition and would more accurately be described as fairly standard democratic socialists. Also, love the fact that Utah Philips is a...

  17. (TL) Rosa’s Reich (Re-Write in Progress)

    Glad to see another update! It'll be interesting to see how relations between the Bolsheviks and the Spartacists play out; perhaps the two will influence each other or perhaps they'll eventually split.

  18. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Two: Collision

    Most Continental European unions didn't/haven't gone down that road, so hopefully American unions won't either. The specific circumstances that led to events such as the Winter of Discontent probably won't appear in America, although it should be noted that what served as the impetus for...

  19. The Ruins of an American Party System, Part Two: Collision

    What are the statuses of the following people? Harry Bridges Sherman Minton John W. Bricker Alfalfa Bill James Maxton Walter Reuther Louis Brandeis (he's probably dead but still curious about his time on the Supreme Court, especially in the 1930s) John L. Lewis Hugo Black Frank P. Zeidler...

  20. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes IV (Do not post Current Politics Here)

    I never thought there'd be a day where I'm glad that Romney's President (or at least in a Wikibox TL) but that day has come.
