1954: The year that the fate of Egypt seems to be hanging on two men, Muhammed Naguib, vs. Gamal Abdel Nasser. The power struggle decided between the struggle between the two men decides two futures: one with the promise of parliamentary democracy vs. an autocratic regime. Finally, through...

So let's say instead of the Republican Party becoming the other dominant Party in American Governance it instead is a Socialist Party. Let's also make some Republicans like Abraham Lincoln prominent Socialist in this timeline. A little guideline for this Socialist Party, there are a couple of...

This is a thread for Alternate Ideologies (preferably those that appeared in the mid 1800s-early 1900s, so modern/industrial ones). The ideology could be an alternative/analogue to an existing ideology, an ideology that could have arisen at the time, an OTL ideology that could have gained more...

As I mentioned what would happen if the Paris Commune had succeeded, in this case the National Guard capture Versailles around about the 20th of March, taking out the more Reactionary Conservative Government of Adolphe Teir in the process whilst other revolutionary forces spring up in other...

What if the USSR and other Socialist powers adopted market Socialism? What would the relationship of these countries be with capitalist powers, considering the two would have a more similar economic system than between capitalism and more orthodox Socialism? Would the system be more tenable than...

The Lanka Sama Samaja Party, active in Sri Lanka since British Dominion times, has a lengthy history, and is notable for being one of the few parties in the "third world" of mass appeal who openly praised Soviet dissident figure Leon Trotsky. For most of their history, they were even larger than...

With a POD after November 11, 1918, come up with a scenario where the Cold War analogue pits either socialism or communism against fascism. Bonus points if you get liberal democracy be seen as an "obsolete" form of government in your scenario like monarchies are IOTL, a "failed" system of...

With a PoD anywhere between 1900 and 1918, how can enough of the right strings be pulled so that the Ottoman Empire, not Russia (or maybe also them), becomes the stage of a socialist revolution in the early 20th century? One condition must be that this new "Ottoman USSR" holds on to Kurdistan...

In a world where few or no countries retain capitalism, where Communism/Socialism was a great success. What would politics, society, technology, etc. be like? What would be the consequences? Would it survive? The POD could be before 1920 or far back if required for success in other countries.

If there was a plebiscite in Scotland in 1919 on the establishment of a Scottish parliament, as laid out by the 1913 Government of Scotland bill, what would the outcome be? And what would it mean for British politics? I'm playing a roleplaying forum game at the moment (link below) set in 1919...

Hello everyone, this is my first timeline in the After 1900 section, and I'm still somewhat insecure about it all. I have a lot of ideas for this timeline, but this is part of history where, even though I have spent the last months reading up, others are way more knowledgeable than me, and...

I was doing some reading on the Christian left, and honestly, I'm surprised that Evangelicals in America didn't take some of the crucial parts of Jesus's message- the whole "help the needy" part, for one- as literally as they took everything else. Inspiration aside, is there any point in...

Okay, so I had an idea. Probably a bad idea, but still an idea. It's a timeline where everything starts going to hell around the mid-late 1860s, and we see massive-scale nationalist, anarchist, and socialist revolts of all different varieties almost worldwide by the early 20th century. Got any...

Benito Mussolini: L'Unione Sindacalista Nazionalista - the Prinipate Chapter One: Idea di Rivoluzione The failure of the Socialist Revolution in Russia has shown us that we were wrong the nation has never disappeared. We used to believe that the concept was totally without substance. Instead...

Okay, so I'm not suggesting that full-on "Communazism" would happen (although feel free to come up with something if you have an idea of how such a thing could happen), but what would be the closest that one could get to a major (preferably destructive) government that combines elements of both...

I've just gone through a Socialist awakening courtesy of Youtube and my Sociology teacher. Seeing the current state of my homeland, with wealth inequality that's both overt and covert, I can't help but wonder what would happen if Sutan Sjahrir, a personal hero of mine as well as the founder of...

President McKinley surviving his assassination is a popular POD in several TLs, especially those dealing with a leftist America such as the phenomenal Reds! However, what would actually happen had McKinley lived? A different 1910s? A continued Gilded Age? Socialism? WW1 under another president?

MotF 185: The Bonnie Red Flag The Challenge Make a map depicting the outcome of a communist or socialist revolution in the Confederate States of America. The Restrictions For this round, the POD of your map must be between 1860 and 1865. Fantasy and science fiction maps are permitted as long...

With a POD no earlier than 1945, how to make leftist revolutions in the west possible? This means communists/socialists and other leftists take to the streets and actually overthrow the western capitalist states. This may be less implausible than one would think. During the late 60s to mid 70s...

How would the Soviet Union develop politicially and militarily, if no WW2 happens? The (geo-)political situation: - Central Europe is ruled by a heavily armed militarist German state. This could be a military dictatorship that resulted from a Reichswehr coup. A Nazi state where Hitler died...
