  1. what if Pro Wrestling is real

    But professional wrestling is already Real in that it caters to psychological needs to enact drama and Real-ise terrors and horrors that aren’t just unspoken but are incapable of being voiced in language. That’s a really strong social desire: we put on Medea so nobody has to kill her kids when...

  2. Spain's revolution succeeds (c18/c19)

    I was really surprised it didn’t cite CLR James or Federici. Especially when it’s claim that proletarian innovation was central to mechanisation. In any case both the liberal Spanish peripheral revolutions and the case studies of the English periphery give me cause to believe that proletarian...

  3. AHC: better behaved Red Army

    And too fucking tired. Rear troops haven’t seen their blood and the blood of the men they have killed and thus have a guilt that seeks to be expunged. The book ordinary men is the standard reference. On killing and it’s bibliography. For US pacific forces front line troops traded trophies in...

  4. Spain's revolution succeeds (c18/c19)

    Either situation, but where Spain (including the across the oceans economic periphery) fully explores the themes emergent in the Spanish economy/society of the Spanish revolutionary impulses themselves. If there's a French revolution it can't over-determine themes arising inside the Spanish...

  5. How long can Decolonization be delayed?

    I was thinking HRH, and the Malay and Indian states. Becoming Empress by personal love, not parliament and the company's violence. But as long as Malay and Indian princes will accept Brigertons as sufficiently sexy to form coordinated state unions.

  6. How long can Decolonization be delayed?

    Imagine if Victoria had sufficient children to unite with all Princely states? Isn't this turbo Hapsburg?

  7. Spain's revolution succeeds (c18/c19)

    I'm predominantly a c20 historian of labour history, and as a result incidentally of world-systems / imperialism. But Imperialism as a world-system chains back before the 20th century, and Sharpe's Rifles' episode one inspired this thought, as the two brother fight over Spain. Spain did have a...

  8. How long can Decolonization be delayed?

    The USSR wasn't seriously contesting colonialism, especially not internally. But the very processes of imperialism produced classes and castes that generated people who would contest colonialism; and, they produced population booms and a bias towards a moment when well organised light infantry...

  9. Could the US have a strong Communist Party as the opposition?

    The difficulty for me is not just an increase in left politics, (coherent IWW organisational reproduction into the 1920s?); but, is to get a situation where a left is impotent enough to not be destroyed, but potent enough to be the largest party of non-government?

  10. Apoliticist “Self-Righting” State

    Isn’t this just Torydom’s fantasy of itself? So NZ?

  11. AHC: Make Rock Music "Black" Again

    I've been thinking about compositional differences in the five modes of composition for electronic music: Sequencer loops: where a master or multiple 8/16+ ('horizontally scrolling') step sequencers trigger instrumentation commands on devices, and often whole tracks are laid out as simultaneous...

  12. Ideal way for USSR to wage limited war

    Based off Poland Hungary Czechoslovakia and Poland the Soviet Union could have tried invading one of the Koreas.

  13. Let's play: Master and Servants, the salvation of the USSR in the Kyivian Божевільний замок sound

    Wotcher, As we all know, the 1970s and 1980s comprised a revolution in the culture of the Soviet Union. The unstoppable sound of the need for industry began in Kyiv, a home of Soviet Revolution, and was amplified by the Ramtha's School of Enlightenment's smuggling of MDMA into the Soviet...

  14. How would a NATO invasion of Warsaw Pact go?

    Okay say that Austria is semi neutralised into “observational” sections with unarmed NATO and Warsaw Pact observers (to keep the local governments voting the correct ways obviously) we could have the great Austrian beer and smaltz war of two weekends?

  15. King Charles Gay?

    In the UK in the 1970s and 1980s there was a miniscule far left movement called Solidarity (UK) which was a cardanist workerist movement. It seems to have helped spawned the deliberately queer Homocult art movement ( https://chrishubley.medium.com/ ...

  16. AHC: optimize Soviet performance in WW2

    What is “the Soviet Union” what is “performance?” I assume “in” relates to the performance and interests during the war with a level of average bureaucratic or social movement blindness to future desires. The Soviet People haven’t been mentioned so widows and the dead exist to the extent that...

  17. Greek Civil War 1949-1950 Europe's Korean War

    Let’s let Yugoslavia play the DPRK.

  18. Red Alert - Our 1953 USSR

    Comrades, I suspect that comrade Zhukov is unwilling to serve: as a military party member he holds pastiinost in the highest regard and is unwilling to allow even the appearance or slander of the party serving military interest to come before the social requirement that the military serve the...

  19. WI/AHC: A British Revolution in 1919

    In Ireland over the divisive issues of socialisation, nation versus socialist commonwealth, atheism versus catholicism, one nationalism versus another, two major religions, a bunch of regions, an imperial ex army of whites, a new imperial army of workers. It may not be the kinds of continental...

  20. WI/AHC: A British Revolution in 1919

    And that the way that it would get there would include a bloody multi-way mess of a local civil war.
