A United Korea shortly after reunification would give many internal challanges and be quit interesting as well in terms of difficulty.
Our Soviet Union (USSR)
- Thread starter CountofDooku
- Start date
True, but with little on our side to oppose the USA with that start date in general. Mexican lands were not as fertile for farmers and had not as many major resource rushes to attract enough new settlers from Europe to come on pair with the American population and over time on pair with their industrial capabilitiesof the USA as well. Don't get me wrong I love the Mexican Empire and Republic, as well as their uniforms, but we have to be careful to not be ASB if they would withstand the power of the USA back then (not alone, maybe with British aid somehow).
I'm not saying it's impossible, it would be quit a challange and a interesting, unique AU/TL, but one were a surviving, not loosing 2/3 of their nation Mexico would have to roll natural 20's for decades to come nearly all the time.
That's why I wanted 1821 since it's a good start, maybe 1824 since it's after Iturbide's failed attempt of forming an empire...?
Could work, but Mexico still has some turbulent internal times ahead during that period.
True but that's to be expected with militaries being involved in politics and the like.
That, local governors and criminals rebelling (especialy in the far away Northern and Southern provinces, if not outright whole provinces rebelling themselves), as well as ethnic, social, cast/ class tensions between natives and the majority Mexican population itself, it's a powder keg for sure.

if we do america it should be at either the decloration of indapendince or the constatutinal convention
I vote that, if we do the US, it should be the constitutional convention stage.
Indeed, that would be the best and most free starting point to shape the nation.
We have seen reaction of the West to the establishment of Silk Road, but what about Japan? What is their exact reaction?
Opposing of the idea and fearful to loose all influence and potential expansion towards China and Asia. Also extra chapter about Rykovism later on

Well at this point Japan has 3 choices how to apporoach the topic:Opposing of the idea and fearful to loose all influence and potential expansion towards China and Asia. Also extra chapter about Rykovism later on
1. Try to counterinfluence it
2. If you can't beat, join them
3. Try to draw USSR from China, because united China is the biggest threat to Japan, not USSR. How do they do this, I have no idea. Its Tokyo's problem
Trotskyism Rykovism Stalinism
The former Right Opposition, the later ruling Soviet Ideology if Rykovism under Alexei Rykov was more representative of the peasantry and in stronger opposition to any true return to capitalist restoration, ot was supported by Bukharin, had eliminated the dangerous Left Opposition and installed political changes, like organized country’s, to form local government cells and autonomy for self-administration. Collectivism under Rykovism was not enforced, but used as a tool to combine smaller economic groups and individuals into larger cooperatives with shared profits under combined individual ownership, so they would be capable to better withstand larger companies that rivaled with the smaller ones economically, financially and otherwise. The system could be implemented on all levels of the new soviet state and would internationally even be used to unite larger parts of the Soviet Economy, to make it more likely to compete on the Global Trade Market after the Russian Revolution to rebuilt the Soviet Union, then otherwise possible. This way the Peasantry and Workers in their Collective Communes formed a Socialist Bulwark that implemented new administrative methods, reforms and a new type of revolution to aid the economy with subsidization to stabilize it, so it was sustainable on it’s own, for which the Trade Union was used to better organize labor needs, while a continued industrialization and modernization under a guided, but not completely planned economy was established. Local organizations and parties of the International (Socintern) and the Communist International (Comintern) were incorporated in this system for the Common Good of all Peasants o the wold, to aid the International Revolutionary Communist Ideas according to Marx against the enemies of the People, so that new Socialist Religions, new Socialist Cultures and new Socialist Societies would emerge to bring a Socialist Humanity and with it the Hegemony of the Soviet Union across the Globe.
The former Central Opposition, the Stalinism ideas of Joseph Stalin meanwhile concentrated around Centralisation, a Constitution that would give Centralized Power to create an Administration and Security Apparatus that would create Socialism in One Country, in opposition to Trotzky’s Socialism in the World and Rykov’s decentralized approach. Everyone diverging from this Centralization and Collectivization process was seen as an Anti-Soviet enemy of a true Workers Dictate. A system that needed military power to suppress the opposition and would form a Cult of Personality around Stalin. Marxism and Leninism was only a cloak put on so that Stalin and the Stalinist would appear more legitimate and as supposed truthful supporters of the real will of Marx and Lenin. All in a means to view their new Cult Leader as the Supreme Commander, the undisputed Leader of the Party and the People, the Architect of a new Communism in which he was the undisputed Father of all Soviet Nations.
Man, Im glad that we chose moderate candidate like Rykov. Of course no one is perfect, but in my opinion Rykov is the best choice that we could make. What the country needed after the civil war is sensible and well balanced approach to various things, which could be beneficial to both the people and tje state.
Now moving on to Trotsky and Stalin - for the sake of union and communism, I hope that they will never get into power as it would be a catastrophe for all of us. Trotsky will gladly send millions of people to certain death in pursuit of his mad ideas. And Stalin will completely destroy party, soviet population,the state and turn USSR into continent spanning gulag.

And as for future chapters, it was already discussed, but from now on we should focus on internal politics/situation of USSR. As much as I like international politics there is nothing new and meaningful which I can propose to raise international position of USSR. We have secured and strengthened position of USSR on international stage, but there is nothing much what we can do taking into account our current military and economic strength.
I wont be posting many initatives in the future, as I'm not an expert on how we can improve domestic situation of USSR in various fields, so I hope that more comrades will be active on these topics with their initiatives.
@CountofDooku - I have a favour to ask. I know that you have just posted a new chapter, but could you make a chapter which would cover domestic initiatives of comrades @Dude-a-Buck, @CometChaser and @Wolf-Salami as they have posted interesting initiatives, but they havent been covered in last updates. It would be good to see it covered in separate update, as I believe these are were theirs first(?) initiatives here, so it would be a good example that players initiatives are ignored or forgotten, of course that is not the case, but we want to engage as many players with their initiatives as we can.

@panpiotr I agree since I also wouldn't want Trotsky and Stalin or their faction come to power but as time goes on, socialism and communism will start dividing and forming different ideologies as technology, culture, and society evolves and advance so we may see Trotskyism, Stalinism, and eventually Rykovism *dissolve.
I also agree on focusing on internal issues a lot more since the last time it was mentioned was 'Red or White' chapter (I think...).

Of course, we will see many different variants even within Rykovism in the future for sure.
Well, tbh I was probably the main reason why the focus was on international issues, as i was spamming initiatives left and right
But it was never my intention to monopolise the thread, I simply wanted to create better position of USSR in a world where international order was set against us by the West. Right now I dont feel that i can add anything meaningful to the thread, so I will gladly take the backseat and give space for others to show initiative.
