The Sino-Soviet split didn’t happen, Sino-Vietnamese war won’t happen because of it. Vietnam and China can be close or form the States of the Socialist Asia Republic and then spread influences and then the world can have an USSR and Socialist Asia Republic. Which will liberate the rest of the world from imperialism.
Somewhere out there is ‘Universe A’ and we’re definitely not in it.
we are in one of those “gone wrong” dimensions, but doesn’t mean we can’t fucking fix it, its just gonna take a bit more gun
only if china doesn’t become revisionist and fall with the ussr because of pizzer hut
The best timeline…
Spartacist uprising being something larger-scale and successful.
Friedrich Ebert fucking chokes on his dinner.
I care little about individuals honestly. More interested to see what happens if the industrial power of Germany joined the Soviet Union. In the shitty timeline, the Great Depression has created a political conditions that kinda forced the imperial countries to remove sanctions on USSR. Machines purchased during that time that have been crucial in rapid industrialization. However, the USSR-Germany alliance would’ve jump-started the process earlier. Maybe Germany could’ve also been a springboard for socialist ideas in the rest of the Europe, but even if not, the WW2 would’ve been much less destructive and less profitable for the USA. And from here, one can only dream…
I understand. It was more of a joke about how Ebert and the SPD worked with (other) reactionaries to crush the Spartacist Uprising
Was thinking about this actually.
Allende is never deposed in a coup
Just imagine if the CIA had never meddled in foreign affairs.
Die Sozialistische Weltrepublik?
For the Red Army in 1920 to not stop at the Vistula and instead keep going till they reached Berlin.
Young Ronald Reagan decides to become the greatest lifeguard in history of Illinois, forgoing a promising acting career.
I hate to break it to you, but despite everything, I still don’t think Ronald Reagan should have been entrusted a position with that degree of responsibility for the lives of humans

What if someone else had succeeded Stalin?

Would have been badass ngl
Idea 2, give IRA more guns and explosives
something to avoid the dogmatism of the USSR after stalin and thus avoid the sino-soviet split
the corn man was a comissar at stalingrad, wasnt he?
that would be a decent place to start i suppose
He was sent to Stalingrad after Stalin decided not to arrest and try him for the failed Kharkov offensive, change that and boom we get…Beria maybe, is that good? I actually have no idea.
ehhh beria was still bad.
Arm the Paris Commune with AK47s and T34s.
Or the Native Americans would also be fine.
or send a competent leadership
Give the American Natives and the kingdoms of Africa tanks, guns, artillery, and vaccines (this one most of all) to resist imperialism.
The native Americans might have fared better with imperialism than with the colonization that they suffered. Imperialism, whatever else its sins, doesn’t seek to replace the entire population with its own, but only to dominate. Many nations survived imperialism, but everywhere that was truly colonized pretty much wiped out the natives.
Grigory Romanov outmanouvers Gorbachev and gets elected General Secretary of the CPSU after Chernenkos death in 1985. He cleans up the legacy of Stalin from khrushchevite slander, purges the party from corrupts, revisionists and opportunists (including Gorbachev, Yakovlev and Yeltsin), fixes the soviet economy by fighting corruption and introducing automation into the central plan and creates a broad socialist and antiimperialist bloc with countries such as China, Albania, Yugoslavia, DPRK, Iraq, Syria, Libya and more. Thanks to his skillful policies, the USSR and the socialist bloc are saved from collapse and the chokehold of the west over the world proletariat is greatly weakened. One can only dream so much i guess 😭😭😭
what is your opinion about andropov? after all he was the guy who put gorbachev on the map but i got the impression that he wanted to actually fix things in the ussr. what if he lived longer?
I dont know much about him, so i have no idea
What if Henry Wallace remained VP after 1944? It probably wouldn’t have changed all that much, but I’d still be curious to find out what would’ve happened
The US would probably haved become a lot less agressive on the cold war and would have respected communist countries more. Roosevelt was probably one of the less worse american presidents, if he was some years younger at the time a lot of things could have changed for better.
I’m wondering how much power Wallace would’ve really had. While he, personally, was originally in favour of coexistence with socialist states, I think it’s likely that other parts of the US state apparatus would’ve pushed for aggressive anti-communism.
Give the natives modern weaponry to repel colonialism.
Oh, I got a few fun options:
No Sino-Soviet split;
Luís Carlos Prestes manages to drum up enough of a mass movement to succeed in Brazil;
No coup on Chile, so Cybersyn continues;
Kirov doesn’t get assassinated, succeeds Stalin.
Chile forms actual power to resist US aggression
Allende takes heed of the warning from Castro, the warnings about Pinochet from within Chile.
Sankara takes heed of the warnings about Blaise Compradoré.
Helping the prestes column here in my country, like giving them tanks, weapons, etc, or making the getulio vargas assasination succesfull (sorry vargas, but socialist brasil comes first in my mind).
João Goulart decides to stay in Brazil after the coup and join Leonel Brizola in the armed resistence
