Russia should have polka dot stripes!

No! We, the Redecorative Insurrectionary Army of the UCSkraine refuse any and all unified color schemes, alternative or orthodox! :mad: Refuseniks! Take up the Black Zeppelin as the symbol of the true color scheme revolution! :D

On one hand I hate apologia for human rights abuses. On the other hand I hate snobbishness about realism in AH. Choices, choices...

I love how in communist America the centrists are the central planning bureaucrats who are for peace with the capitalist world, literally decrying ultra-left radical youth for their libertarianism. It is also nice to see that the Left Communist world revolution type are not Trotskyist vanguard...

...cmon. Even in the UK. Even in a Constitutional Monarchy, you can't honestly be using the word anti-monarchist like it were a bad thing. Aren't people entitled to their opinions in the UK? Or is calling for a republic illegal so people just make up embarassing faux-docudrama movies about the...

Also, the North would be run by Big Business so no matter how badly they treated the African Americans they could always point to the Unions as being much worst. The practice of using underpaid African American labor to undercut labor strikes was common IIRC, and led to the kind of resentment...

Considering pre-Civil-War nativism was concentrated in the industrial Northeast (guessing here, please correct me if I'm wrong) and that a lot of the nativism of the Gilded Age Democrats was based on the development of Southern and Western protestant America into the prototype for the American...

Zauber, for the original approach of added pictures and effort put into nifty little icons more than out of a sheer complexity or prettiness - in which case there were others that were pretty and complicated as well but lacked the flourishes and embellishments of his European map. Also, I just...

Southern Unionists and Mountain Yankees are NOT " Radical Republican propaganda ".

I like it. I like the idea of mixing Confucian meritocratic bureaucracy and agrarian virtue with peasant communism, though I'm not sure how it would be approached. Mao's adaptation of Marxist-Leninism to the Chinese peasants was IIRC based on the people's war more than a different/specific...

I don't know if it applies to Gore specifically, but wouldn't it be a pretty Democratic thing to do to go international with anti-terrorism as one of the big public pushes, instead of isolationist/nationalistic ways of dressing it up like Homeland Security and an act called Patriot? I'm not...

What are the stipulations? Does it have to be Soviet style Communism of one of the various brands or does it have to be of the main Leninist traditions like Soviet Communism, Trotskyism, and Maoism? Can it be any Marxist ideology, including such alternate paths as Luxemburgism and ATL...

1950 - Generalissimo Douglas MacArthur, Head of State (1880) age 70 Minister Walter Disney, Director of Reconstruction (1901) age 49 Minister Howard Robard Hughes, Chairman of the State Committee (1905) age 45 The State Committee (various defense, industrial, and agricultural oligarchs...

Private commerce raiders sponsored by Great Powers? Is this technologically feasible? Could a one-ship privateering outfit upkeep a commerce raider?

Ah, so he's not just a power hungry occultist, he's got the anarchist type sociopolitical philosophy of a genuine Satanist? Because if it were Crowley, I can totally see Crowley engaging in an opportunity for money and influence. Also, fun fact, in real life L. Ron Hubbard stole Parsons'...
