I’ve been having some rather awkward feelings about the Lemmygrad community and have lurked for a while but I have decided to do something interesting for now. What if the United States had finally undergone a successful socialist revolution through general revolution and civil war for socialist cause. What would it look like? A federal republic or something different?
Thanks for the tip, tbh. I kind of think the same. If America is to change it must die and be rebuilt, one of my favorite interpretations of this was the Atlverse II’s United Commonwealth of Continental States (UCCS) which is the USSR but in North America and had an interesting take. I really liked its flag and so on.
If you have your vision, I’d ask you to build a strong mind that doesn’t worry about what it can’t control. Start a book club so that you have people to help you and broaden your understanding of your local community. Make sure that you can verify that your decisions are benefiting the workers. While the workers may be reactionary in many ways they always have a dialectical relationship with their direct experience of working. Propaganda works best to shape one’s understanding of what is most away from oneself, not what is closest to oneself.
I honestly wish I could take the commitment to helping spread avocation for Socialist Revolution but I just don’t have the strength and self-esteem, perhaps in the future.
I dreamt up of a similar country called the Federation of Wolfstaat (think East Germany + USSR on steroids) for a fantasy setting.
