  1. The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    Or a Russian.

  2. The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    What about the Alliance of Free Laborers? Yes, it is a deliberate jab at the AFL. I imagine that any attempt to establish a Third International would be more akin to the Vienna International, albeit with a much stronger left wing as there's be less of a drive to separate the left and centre...

  3. Alternate Ideologies

    Democratic Feudalism An attempt to carve a Third Way between the extremes of hyper-rational and iconoclastic enlightenment revolutionaries and ultra-reactionary traditionalists the proponents of Democratic Feudalism sought to create a synthesis that would combine the egalitarian civic ideals of...

  4. Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    That is brilliant and I just want you to know that.

  5. Alternate Ideologies

    Gamers rise up.

  6. WI: 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic kills Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton?

    That could be awkward if the rumours about Matty's parentage are true. I recently read Gore Vidal's Burr.

  7. WI: 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic kills Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton?

    Three term Burr Presidency. Nice.

  8. WI: 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic kills Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton?

    As I understand it Burr had much better relations with Madison and Adams than Jefferson and Hamilton, so if they both end up surviving and become the leaders of their respective parties I wonder if Burr could end up being a compromise figure who is able to bridge the gap between them? He was...

  9. Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    A series of public debates between former President Lincoln and the activist Fredrick Douglass in the 1880s and 90s on the matter of women's suffrage. Douglass took the more radical position arguing for the Federal government to implement immediate and universal enfranchisement of women, along...

  10. WI: 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic kills Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton?

    I've been looking into the 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic and it got me wondering, how would US politics play out if Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton all ended up dying from it (incidentally there are threads on here asking about each of those figures dying but not all of them)? For...

    Threadmarks: National Democracy

    National Democracy. A synthesis between the writings of Montesquieu and Rousseau that hold that a true democratic republic is only possible on a small scale with the emerging nationalism that placed the democratic subject within the context of a nation-state. In contrast to the centralising and...

  12. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Thou art wretched kaffirs, utterly unworthy of Allah's love, a fountain of pollution is deep within thy nature, and thou livest as a desert shrub, unprofitable, fit only to be hewn down and burned. Steep thy life in Salah, and hope that Allah sees fit to show mercy on thy corrupted souls.

  13. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Do the Asmarids have any restrictions on colonial emigration? Emigration to the colones is likely to have an impact on the drive towards industrialisation as the labour pool decreases. I'm also wondering if discontented Christians in the north might attempt to establish self-governed colonies in...

  14. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    There's also the issue that there is less of a need for capital investment in developing more advanced machines in China so long as labour remains plentiful and cheap. In northern Iberia ITTL the labour force is smaller and more restive which incentivises investing in labour saving machines and...

  15. PC: Wokou Viking Age

    To make things more interesting I might have him hang out in Fujian, where there was a much more successful Ispah Rebellion, and end up converting to Shia Islam.

  16. PC: Wokou Viking Age

    I am thinking of having an alt-Nobunaga losing the succession struggle, going into exile and becoming a mercenary in China and eventually returning to reclaim his birthright.

  17. PC: Wokou Viking Age

    Possibly. Though it could also serve as a safety valve, with potentially troublesome Samurai deciding to find their fortunes abroad instead of trying to upset the status quo at home.

  18. PC: Wokou Viking Age

    I'm thinking, could a fractured post-Yuan China and a stable Japan that avoids the Sengoku Jidai result in an East Asian Viking Age? My thinking is that a fractured China would make it much harder to defend against Wokou raiders (which I know wasn't limited to Japanese pirates). A more stable...

  19. What if Taiwan had been a classical addition to China, not an early modern addition?

    I read somewhere that Taiwan has some significant Jade deposits. If they were known of earlier then maybe that could lead to greater Chinese interest in securing the Island?

  20. The Glowing Dream: A history of Socialist America

    I could also see additional waves of Jewish immigration to Western Europe triggering additional waves of antisemitic backlash, especially in France that's still dealing with the aftershocks of the Dreyfus Affair and among the British New Right.
