You really wanna go for a gag, then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Yezhov , aka the guy who famously got erased from that picture with stalin

edit: you could even make the event pic the famous picture but with stalin erased

lol unforunately he's killed by stalin in a fit of rage at the first alt-history national focus when the kirov trial falls apart. alexandra kollontini is the one i've picked since the workers opposition is kinda what i want to slot into that branch but i dunno if theres a specific ideology for what they were advocating

well, all the alternatives kinda got crushed between the practical failures of anarchism and ideological ones of leninism. so unless you wanna go with an oxymoron like anarcho-communism, my erection is wilting

other options include tukhachevsky launching an uprising and restoring war communism, bukharin selling the revolution to the capitalists by launching NEP 2.0 neoliberal boogaloo, or then vlasov can make a fascist nation but i've sketched nothing out for that

also appropriate but it doesn't quite fit the timeline. could have him splitting transcaucusia away during the second civil war though

i thought about it but its too anarchist for the path i want to take. from goofing around on marxists.org and russian wikipedia i'm just going to write up something combining council democracy and trade unionism

kollontai is most famous for being a feminist, so if you're going for her, why not have her focus on that? have her focus on democratizing both the workplace and the family, as opposed to stalin's focus on heavy industry, bureaucracy, and more traditional social values.

also, kollontai's romantic novel is pretty amusing. the main character (a bolshevik) meets a cute anarchist at a factory meeting, and flirts with him by giving an especially fierce denunciation of anarchism while staring directly into his eyes. the relationship is of course doomed, as anarchists are fundamentally revisionist and no better than the NEPmen.

I don't know where this thread is at the moment but I've had some more thoughts on CPGB-ML. It's obviously a kind of think tank linked to Russia and China. It shamelessly backs these regimes and Syria and cosies up to Farage and Galloway. So I strongly suspect that it's full timers are funded by these states just as RT is. I think someone earlier in the thread said that leading figures in CPGB-ML have business interests in China.

So what I'm thinking is that if it's a sort of conservative think tank linked to ex-Stalinist regimes then how do we account for the Tankie ideology. And what I've come up with is the idea that there's such a thing as "Soviet kitsch" which is a kind of dope people get high off. I think a lot of ironic memes, victory day parade watching, funny hats, hammer and sickle and other such paraphernalia fall into this sort of category.

You have a two sided sort of structure where you have the bootlicking and maneuvering as essential paid agents of a foreign power (sorry if I sound like a Cold Warrior ranting about Moscow gold, that's not my intent) whilst at the same time maintaining a cosmetic membership doped up on Soviet kitsch turning up at demos and handing out free copies of Proletarian to give them a semblance of legitimacy.

One of the mods that i follow thats about the axis winning ww2 (it's explicitly anti-nazi and portrays them as fuckups who can barely hold together the empire and will enter a hellish civil war the second hitler dies) had the USSR lose the Great Patriotic War because Bukharin became the leader instead of Stalin hosed up and failed to industrialize the soviet union lol

I want to make it very clear that I don't think that the US is "good" by any definition. However, if we compare it to other great powers throughout history - the UK, France, the USSR/Russia, China etc - the US at the very least does some half-assed attempts at good. I am not american and I am not coming at this from a position of nationalism. I am however confident in claiming that replacing US hegemony with, say, Russian or Chinese hegemony would result in a great step back for human rights and democracy on an international level. The US is deeply, deeply flawed, but the powers that the "anti-imperialists" align themselves with are way, way worse.
