AHC: Have a Posadist lead a Communist Country

Possibly the next revolution of otl
The way things are going the only way we get out of this mess is via alien intervention to clean all the nuclear waste
 
If Cuban Missile Crisis goes hot, there probably would be Posadist leaders in surviving South American countries; Moscow is gone and they're the most effective local flavor. Might even include State-sponsored UFO cult.
 
Can't we use DMT and the discovery of a love of the Adriatic dolphin to bend Hoxha and therefore Albania this way? 1956 seems an ideal time to "dose" Hoxha. Admittedly this wouldn't be a fourth international, but an anti-revisionist position.

If the cuban missile crisis goes hot i don't see more than ten nukes hitting south america as a whole, tbh
From that to state sponsored ufo cults...
I could see some seriously crazy greens coming into power but that's kinda too much i guess

Im challenging to make a Posadist the leader of a country.

At this point nothing is to crazy, just make it plausible as our timeline.

An even crazier Hoxha, I like it.
 
Hey, if LaRouchites could win Democratic Primaries in OTL, I don't see why Posadists couldn't do the same and take over some city council in the US and attempt to secede.

I'd choose an mountainous country/region of Latin America like Bolivia, or an alt-Sendero Luminoso or FARC that's more successful. They could use drug trafficking to pay for weaponry and turn remote terrain into an advantage (a communist analog of the Taliban in Afghanistan).
Considering the Posadist concept that nuclear war is inevitable or even desirable to end capitalism, they should probably choose a country with a relatively rural, dispersed population that can survive a nuclear conflict. An extremely urbanized, country like Japan or Argentina that depends on one urban mega region is a poor choice. An extremely rural country with a dispersed population in Central Africa or the Sahel could be another good base of operations. A posadist regime would probably aim for a Pol Pot style Year Zero that empties the cities.

If they want to provoke a nuclear war between the two major sides, they'd need to make some strange bedfellows. North Korea, Tito, Ceausescu, Qaddafi's Libya would all be sympathetic to a regime trying to get nuclear weapons. I expect a Posadist regime to back leftist, neofascist, and Islamist terrorist groups to raise as much havoc as possible and bring the superpowers into conflict. The Red Army Gang or Al Qaeda would be useful proxies to create a Sarajevo moment between the nuclear powers. The closest ATL example of a James Bond villain like that is the movie The Sum of All Fears where an Austrian neo-Nazi tries to trigger a nuclear war between the US and Russia.
