  1. Spartakus Lives!: A Collaborative Worldbuilding Exercise

    Austria almost became a council communist country in our reality. In the immediate aftermath of World War I, Austrians were creating Workers' and Soldiers' Councils across the country; during the 1918 January Strike, the SDAPOe leadership was just able to keep the councils under control and end...

  2. Map Thread XX

    What did you base the election results on? Some of the results in New Hampshire look a little strange to me. For example, I can't imagine the Dover-Rollinsford-Sommersworth district would ever vote for a conservative candidate. That area hasn't voted for a conservative president since the 80s...

  3. Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

    I'm from the area and I can't even imagine what it would be like. Red Hook as an urban area? What happened to the hamlets and villages of Red Hook and Rhinebeck? Annanadale-on-Hudson clearly outgrew its status and incorporated, but I have to wonder about the village of Tivioli (the village of...

  4. Blood Red Cotton- A Confederate Timeline

    Why the change in naming scheme? I would have thought they would have stuck with naming their armies after states or geographical areas.

  5. Look to the West Volume VII: The Eye Against the Prism

    My German may be a little rusty, but I think this may be an intentional mistranslation on the part of the diagetic author. As I remember, "Diese Leute" should more accurately translate to "These People" rather than "Those People" ("Jene Leute" would be the German translation of the latter). In...

  6. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I think this critique is off-base. The poster is incorrect that the courts are primarily responsible for mediating disputes between employees and employers. That responsibility goes to the National Labor Relations Board, which is an executive agency separate from the judiciary (although it does...

  7. Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

    I love the Auburn-Opelika area, but how the heck did Opelika end up the capital?

  8. Communist revolution happens in the west instead of the east?

    I don't think this quite matches up with current or contemporary conceptions of communism. Leninism as we know it starts with Lenin, but it's not as if there weren't contemporary anti-Leninist communists. It would be hard to argue that Rosa Luxemburg was not a communist, yet she was no Leninist...

  9. AHC: Holocaust denial illegal in US.

    In his famous Words that Wound, Richard Delgado makes an argument that American jurisprudence already accepts a de facto tort action against hate speech. It's rough around the edges and isn't always consistently applied, but the elements are still there (the tort of intentional infliction of...

  10. Communist revolution happens in the west instead of the east?

    Austria could have likely seen a successful communist revolution after World War I if the SDAPÖ leadership had been more radical. In the early years of the First Republic period, workers' and soldiers' councils were popping up all over the republic. It's not hard to imagine a world where Bauer...

  11. 1976 Soviets occupied North America

    This seems to be apocryphal. Without even looking at primary sources, this can be easily be debunked by the fact that the Soviet Union used three B-29s when designing the Tu-4. For the battle damage to be replicated in the Tu-4, it would have had to been present in all three of the B-29s...

  12. DBWI 1905 russian revolution doesn't succede

    What makes you say that? The success of the Socialist Labor Party in the United States would seem to suggest quite the opposite. Looking at the Menshevik platform, it doesn't seem that much more radical than what Seidel was running on back in the party's infancy. The adoption of sewer socialism...

  13. Flag Thread IV

    A flag from the same TL as my recent MotF submission. Relevant text can be found here.

  14. Spartakus - World in Revolution

    The history of Austria in the mod has always bothered me. In OTL, Austria was on the verge of turning into a Soviet republic, like its Bavarian neighbor. In fact, the military was actually on the side of the communists at the time (sailors and soldiers were forming councils, mutinying, and...

  15. Map Thread XVIII

    Along similar lines to North and South Dakota. Maryland has shown some interest in getting rid of the Eastern Shore, and the Democrats in office wanted to increase their majority, so Delmarva seemed like a reasonable way to go about doing that. I can't think of a better place for it to be.

  16. Map Thread XVIII

    I'm not sure if this is better for both of you, but the peninsula is technically it's own state. I can't imagine that there wouldn't be. It just makes too much sense to build a network of dams in the area. That said, the CSR's version of the TVA would have naturally developed earlier than...

  17. Map Thread XVIII

    Feel free. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with! I haven't thought too much about the rest of the world, but I'll send you some of the preliminary ideas I had over PM.

  18. Map Thread XVIII

    Cross-posting from the most recent MotF to get more feedback. I'm thinking about making more in this setting. I'm not sure where I'd like to go next with this, though. Probably make a more detailed internal map of the Confederacy. There are a couple of ideas I'd like to incorporate...

    Complete accident. Thanks for pointing it out! It should be fixed now.
