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

    More German communist revolution! The people want a Räterepublik! :)

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

    It'd be interesting if/how over time communist Strasserites abandoned their völkish qualities. They'd be pairing up with Rosa after all, and they will have many comrades and war buddies who are Jewish. If all of the camaraderie that the do-or-die nature of revolution provides wasn't enough and...

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

    The army simply has to be sent in. It would be better not to, however not doing it will put the revolution at a serious disadvantage. To believe the revolution is won at this juncture is to surely lose it, very dangerous attitude that can't be afforded. It's unfortunate, but necessary.

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

    Speaking of forcing Rosa's hand, I'm very interested to see the socialist conference, like for example what Rosa and the CCP will do if too many parties at the table are also too soft to fight the good fight..

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

    By the time an anarchist/syndicalist polity is governing viably, it's not anarchism or syndicalism anymore, it's state socialism. (Which is fine with me.) Also love the irony that after dismissing the Bolsheviks so harshly almost immediately it's required that she take up the very basis of her...

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

    Eagerly awaiting Lenin's entry into the revolutionary situation :biggrin:

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

    What a bold project, can't wait to see where this goes! Also my mind is ringing out like an alarm "please let Marxist Hitler have the deepest solidarity with Jewish people, please let Marxist Hitler have the deepest solidarity with Jewish people." I really hope Hitler's communist turn disabuses...

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

    Seems like Rosa's a budding bolshie of her own kind :') Especially if constituent assembly elections don't go the CCP's way. (I don't even know there are any scheduled or if so if they'll happen considering the ferocious reaction from the bourgeois-aligned blocs). She isn't going to let two of...

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

    Detractor on or detractor of? Because detractor on doesn't make so much sense to me, if Lenin doesn't concoct Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder at all or excludes altogether German council communism from it, deeming them a politically correct line (or even critiquing them of being too...

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

    The particular OTL NEP was created due to extensive ruin, complete isolation, and most likely in reaction to Kronstadt. With a Räterepublik, unless it's severely under civil war itself they are not isolated and, regardless of that, there is another model to look upon. Currently in Germany, due...

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

    I wonder, in continuing with the two revolutions, how much Luxemburgism Lenin will pick up seeing its success but also conversely how much Leninism Luxemburg will pick up considering the arbitary measures of authority that she's rightfully taken so far to secure the revolution and will most...

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

    The securement and expansion of the dictatorship of the proletariat must be swift and unrelenting!

  13. AHC/WI: Actually functioning Soviet Democracy

    I think the important aspects for functioning and materially realistic soviet democracy are: 1) having the openness to tinker with democratic centralism and achieve more and fairer participation, 2) properly establishing the CPSU as an ideological vanguard party (rather than a party of...

  14. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    That's not been my impression of him and his thoughts on the national question as I've been studying it. Lenin from what I've read of him was always skeptical even outright hostile bourgeois national liberation movements and their ambition to form nation-states, and his own idiosyncratic idea of...

  15. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    And that money could not have been made by trade within its sphere of influence without the initial colonization that created such a sphere. Additionally, each trade partner is known for its own unique genocidal, barbarous, and policies and behaviors that permitted for unprecedented frontiers of...

  16. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    That's simply not true, colonialism was crucial to West European industrialization for the natural resources, the safety value of surplus labor, and a market for manufactures. Before imperialism and colonialism, the United Kingdom was an island of increasingly dispossessed peasants and after it...

  17. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    General Secretaries aren't exactly mayors, that comment does not make sense. And colonies for actual colonialist states were very profitable for a significant portion of time before a point of deminishing returns. European states broadly underdeveloped Africa and excessively overdeveloped small...

  18. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    It was about building a socialist political-economic system outside of capitalism and fend against the states that promoted capitalism. Yeah it absolutely was about establishing a sphere of influence and it was tainted by the nationalism of politics in the Stalin era and after, but again it...

  19. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    That's an underwhelming news flash. Eastern Europe was most certainly a field of extensive Soviet influence but it's far more complicated than what you make it out to be. And I've indictated myself that said influence was a flaw of COMECON as a body of international socialism, it needed be a...

  20. AHC: West Dependent on Soviet Grain Imports

    Nah. COMECON had structural faults, like no supranational body for only one example, and was predestined to be dominated by USSR sans PRC but it wasn't a colonial extraction appartatus, states could abstain from COMECON projects. USSR definitely stripped East Germany in a brutal way but that's...
