There's this communist Hungarian state from 1919 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Soviet_Republic), I'd like to know if there's any reasonable way for it to survive up to at least WWII.

How could the Soviet Union survive to the modern day, without doing Deng style reforms? Rules -No PODs pre-1945 -No Republics are allowed to break away -The Soviet Union must economically at least remain hardline communist. No privatization, no free markets, and no special economic zones. The...

So we are nearing the 15th anniversary of the collapse of the American Federative People's Republic, and anti-communists in America are preparing celebrations as they do every September 1st, so this has me thinking -- what if there was no "Second American Revolution" (as it was called in the...

Richard Nixon was accepted into Harvard as a teenager, but his family was too poor to afford the tuition so he had to attend Whittier instead. This triggered a life-long resentment towards Ivy League elites and East Cost liberals that helped fuel Nixon's divisive rhetoric and criminal acts of...

Historians routinely fault Alexander Kerensky for not withdrawing from WWI. Russia wasn't just losing badly, the war crippled the economy and millions of Russians were killed. When Kerensky kept Russia in the war and his offensive failed, popular support for his democracy evaporated and within...

I had this a bit of odd idea, but let's say the Soviet Union lasts 20 years more and ends up collapsing in 2011? First off, how can you make the Soviet Union long laster up until the early 2010's and what is the result? What would our current state of the world be if it happened?

In the late 1970's, the Carter administration gave covert military aid and arms to the Afghan mujahedeen to support it's fight against Communism. What if Carter decided not to aid the Mujahedeen - which later morphed into the Taliban? How would Afghanistan and the Cold War turn out differently...

Which PODs could possibly lead to a Soviet Cold War Victory? Bonus if its after 1945. Super Bonus if its after 1963.

Aleksandar Stamboliyski is one of the more interesting political figures of the 20th Century - he was an agrarian leftist who wasn't a Marxist-Leninist (indeed, at the time he was active Marxist-Leninism was still very much focused on urban workers). In the aftermath of WW1, he served as Prime...

While Communism and religion have traditionally been opposed, this hasn't stopped there from being occasional Christian/Islamic socialist movements. Buddhism has similarly occasionally had its own socialist ideas, and furthermore enjoys the advantage that it does not inherently believe in a god...

Assuming that a socialist/communist/anarchist revolution breaks out in America somewhere in the early 1920’s to the Great Depression, what would the name of this new Socialist America be?

From 1947 to 1991, the United States and the Soviet Union were the reigning superpowers of the world. One was a republic that championed free market capitalism, the other a far-left polity that sought global communism. Naturally, this brought the two colossi into a multi-decade standoff; proxy...

I had a discussion about this topic lately, and I asked myself: How realistic is a Soviet Cold War victory with the earliest POD just before the Soviet crushing of the Prague Spring (it should be some kind of mirror to OTLs USA victory, with Europe going red and pro-soviet, and some states...

Hello! I'm sure most people here love symbols and flags, right? I thought that it would be fun making a symbol for communism other than the hammer and sickle ☭ or the red star ★ so I made this: The globe represents internationalism, the cogwheel represents the working class and industry...
