communism

I challenge you to write an ucronia where Lumumba survives and becomes president of the Congo. Would he alienate himself with the eastern bloc? If so, would you support socialist movements? Would the Soviet Union be your main buyer of uranium? Or maybe Lumumba would be a Gaddafi in terms of...

As it says on the tin. What must happen for Churchill to adopt communism? What experiences?

As we know for the most part much of the English speaking world such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia (up til recently but not Communist tho), New Zealand, have all been free democratic countries, altho you can find a few exceptions, most notably in Africa, which are...

THE LAST POST Truro, November 28th 1907 John Powell rubbed his hands together. It was cold this morning, oddly cold for Cornwall. They’d run out of tea months back so there was only acorn-coffee to warm them. It was bitter and with no sugar to sweeten it, men gulped the piping liquid as if it...

While the Communist Party of Canada is generally seen nowadays as a joke of a party outside their circle, the ubersocialist wing of the NDP around Ashton and the uberecosocialist wing of the Greens around Lascaris(both factions of whom view the Comparty sympathetically and tilts tankie foreign...

In OTL the cold war has been going between the communist east (China, Japan, Korea, etc.) versus the capitalist west (USA, Britain, Brazil, etc.). How could we get a drastically different cold war? Could Russia be involved instead of them being isolationist?

The Soviet Union was the world's first communist state, emerging from the chaotic end of the Great War. Tsarist Russia was a harsh authoritarian, reactionary state that was still mostly agricultural, and only fell to Communism after years of brutal war and a second coup in 1917 by the Bolsheviks...

What if the Communist Revolution in Afghanistan had been Maoist-inspired instead of Soviet/Marxist-inspired, with the aim of making Afghanistan a Peoples Republic based on Maoist principles and effectively looking east to Communist China as an inspiration and model and not the USSR? “The...

Let's say the United States undergoes a socialist revolution sometime between 1918 to 1936, and is the first and main communist power, sponsoring socialism worldwide in a similar manner to the USSR historically, because for whatever reason, the Russian Revolution does not happen. What is the ATL...

Is there any possibility that a Communist Afghanistan could survive to the present day? Or is it doomed to fall much like all the other communist countries by the end of the Cold war post-soviet collapse? From what I've read, everyone thought they were on the verge of collapse until the Battle...

I am not incredibly knowledgable in this area, so this is more of a question of inquiry. What would happen if the Totalitarian ideology of Soviet leninism and stalinism never manifested, or was snuffed out by opposing forces? Would the West and the Nazis develop a strong hatred of Communism, or...

DISCLAIMER: just want to make it clear before you read that I do not support North Korea, or authoritarian communism. Any praise for the Kim dynasty, the Soviets, or the CCP in this timeline are merely for immersion. I hope you enjoy. A Red Shrimp Among Whales Chapter 1 March, 1949...

Could this role reverse happen and if it does ? What are the biggest consequences ?

Your challenge is to have Hitler become a communist and Stalin become a fascist, rather than the other way around. They don't necessarily have to end up in positions of power, just hold those ideologies. Just in case anyone asks, I put this in Before 1900 because Stalin at the very least...

ITTL Nicolae Ceaușescu wins and stops the revolt and continues the communist path. Would North Korea and Romania Become Allies or would they ignore each other? How would this impact international relations? Would Air Koryo have flights to Bucharest? Also vote in the poll.

I'm not sure about the exact POD but say the Great war drags on for another year causing mass discontent with successful revolutions in Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Ireland, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and Bulgaria. Further revolutions occur in Argentina, South Africa, and Persia. The Communist...

Leonid Brezhnev was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1964-1984. During his leadership, the liberalisation policies of Khruschev were reversed. The USSR entered a period of social, cultural, and political repression which, while not on the scale of Stalin, was...

Have the Bolsheviks fail in Russia but the CCP still take over China

Assuming a time line in which the communist party does not remian in power in Russia itself which nation of Eastern Europe (or ex Soviet republic) has the best chance of remaining committed to communism. I have always found it interesting that even a nation like Albania that had split with the...

First thread, might as well make it personal. I've always considered myself a Christian communist but as an American, i'm in the minority. For some reason or another Americans are literally incapable of mixing together religion and equality. Makes picking sides during political arguments fairly...
