Alternatively the C.S.S.A(Trust me, communist is not the proper terminology for such a state) could rise to being through a popular, democratic, bottom-up revolution. A Richmond Soviet could be created(a parallel to the St. Petersburg Soviet), filled with a mix of moderate socialist(if they exist at all) and a far-left radical Bolshevik-style party.
This setup would exist til things went sour between all of the parties parties.
That name might work better. As for the nature of the state, I figured for it to succeed, the poor whites and slaves would have to form an alliance of nessesity.
Rednecks?![]()
Little known fact, but the term originated from unionized coal miners, identified by red bandanas around thier necks - thus the term, redneck. Here, I used the same term for communist affiliated poor whites, and eventually, the red bandana becomes a symbol of party membership.
Apparently the pieces of the CSA the US took came more or less voluntarily, as they had no desire to be a part of the nascent communist state, and seemed to have been pretty disillusioned with the Confederacy anyway.
Still, I suspect that whatever the CSSA cals itself, it will be in actual fact more Agrarian Populist then anything else, it lacks a proper proletariat, and will need to build much of it's industrial centers from scratch. If it wants to, it probably can, even the rump CSSA is pretty damn big and has access to lots of natural resources.
Some came voluntarily - a lot was taken in the Great War analogue, and the CSSA government recognized the US gains in exchange for recognition of the Communist government and exchange of some prisnors and persons (mainly msome former Confederate government members, whom the US is all too happy to extradite).
I suspect you might be more right then you know, considering that the rump CSSA also has a formerly oppressed black Majority, which did not exist in either the USSR or China, so I could see there being a strong inclination for the kind of revolutionary criticism sessions the Maoists went for with the need to remove "false racial consciousness" from the white population.
One big reason I imagine the CSSA would encorage interracial relationships. Bridges a divide that could be expolited by the capitalists, and showcases how communism can bridge devides of race and nation.
