Reverse Cold War-An Orignal, Non-cliched Timeline

It's just that since this is a reverse world, I expected you to have Russia be the place where a "Superman-analog" is conceived. Especially considering the fact that OTL Superman was in part created by an immigrant from the Russian Empire.

Edit: Wait, when did Russia get OTL Moldovan territory in this TL?
During World War II, when Romania united with Russian assistance, a pro-Russian minority near the border opted for joining Russia itself instead.

If there is a Russian Superman, he should be known as the "Man of Steel."

"Up in the air! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, its STALIN!" :p

I already have plans for the man who IOTL was known as Joseph Stalin, and it won't be very important. The name "Stalin" might be a good nickname for Superman in the Russian translation, though.
 
I notice there is no mention of the effects of communist economics of food production or world trade.
Are there collective farms in America?
What happen to class enemies?

There are collective farms, but they're mostly in the Northeast. Farms out in the Midwest and South are mostly left as is, because they're too important to the production of food to be collectivized. Also, all enemies of the state are sent to labor camps in northern Canada.

That... doesn't make sense. IIRC collectivization was viewed as a step forward in agriculture. The fact that we, in retrospect, know that it didn't work as advertised doesn't change the fact the way the communists viewed it when it was implanted. Not collectivizing in Midwest and South because those farms are "too important" would mean your ATL communist party for some reason believes collectivization doesn't work. If so, why implement it in Northeast at all then?

Good point. Since I haven't mentioned it in any updates yet, I'll just retcon it. Thanks for pointing it out. The farms will be "state-owned", but that's just on paper. The individual farmers will still work their own farms.

Hey Superman, any chance we'll get to see what the flag of Sonora looked like before and after it became communist?

Maybe. The flag of Sonora before the Civil War was the flag that William Walker had in mind IOTL, and the flag afterwards, when Sonora became a refuge for ex-Confederates, is the Blood-Stained Banner. I'm thinking of making flags for all of the new communist countries, though.
 
Okay, I know I said I'd try to get an update out this week, but it looks like you're going to have to wait a few weeks. Sorry.
 
Okay, I know that I said I'd try to get an update in soon, but unfortunately, I've just lost interest, and it's beginning to seem way too ASB, even to me. To anyone who's actually reading this, I'm working on what would essentially be a reboot of this, which I hope will be much more realistic and plausible, and with a very small, if not nonexistent, butterfly net. I don't know, I may come up with more updates, but for now, this is it.

At the very least can you please tell us what's going on with the Spanish Empire? You kind of left the readers hanging:
OK, what’s going on in the Spanish Empire in South America? You had the communist USA invade its northern part of it but did not push further and we had no updates on its status ever since with half of it still red.

Sorry. The Chileans had been allied with the Russians for a while, since Russia was it's biggest trading partner since the collapse of the USA, so the Chileans entered the war on the Allied side and occupied the south after the Americans had already taken the more populated north, to prevent communist expansion farther south. The Spaniards just went along with it, too, not wanting to be overthrown in a communist revolution.
