It is known that all the people mentioned all lived in Vienna at the same time at one point in 1913. What would have happened if they had all met each other at the same time? Could anything have changed?

Stalin was never in Vienna, that was Lenin. Supposedly he and Hitler did play chess with one another at one point.It is known that all the people mentioned all lived in Vienna at the same time at one point in 1913.

Probably makes no difference considering where these guys were at intellectually, politically, and socially. Hitler was basically homeless and caught up in the anti-semitism fostered by the city's mayor at the time, Lenin ran in the exiled Russian revolutionary circles, Freud was a relatively famous Jewish middle class medical professional, and Tito we don't really know much about in this period, but probably wouldn't have fit in with any of them. Trotsky and Lenin did know each other and fell out with one another at this time. But as 'Ost Juden' Trotsky wouldn't have been welcomed in the presence of even Freud, as germanic Jews didn't want to be associated with Eastern European Jews for class/social reasons, never mind the radical politics of the Russian exile set. Having actually lived in Vienna there is a class divide and it was a lot worse around 1912 based on what the history courses I took were saying and there was a major social divide based on ethnic lines as well, especially between the foreign Jews and anyone outside the poor classes, Slavs and Germans, the middle class and working class, etc. So basically if they met most of these guys would repel like oil and water and not really influence one another.
Freud would probably tell them that their political opinions and ambitions are connected to a subconscious desire to sleep with their mothers![]()
Maybe they all get together and to rob the Royal Bank of Vienna?
Oceans 11 style
