The federals in those enclaves in the CSA must be making GBS threads themselves. Soon the Carolinas, and all of America, shall truly be free for the first time! How would syndicalism handle a military I wonder? Are the generals and volunteers part of some informal soldier's trade Union?

So this month was mostly upgrades and consolidation while poo poo happened abroad I take it? Never got an answer on the current state of the military, are you planning to address that in an update? It's pretty funny that Mittleuropa is caving to the Syndicalists across the board like that.

Kavak posted:Decriminalization doesn't translate into acceptance quickly (I think Lenin saw it as some kind of "bourgeoisie perversion" that would disappear as socialism advanced, anyway), and homosexuality was recriminalized under Stalin. If someone outed Alan Turing and the Union of Britain added homophobia to the "list of things capitalists use to divide workers" to protect his reputation, I can see it spreading the same way the anti-racism did. Well you'll note that outside of a few circles and the very top of the CSA government, the narration states that it mostly isn't accepted, and that people standing up for homosexuals in that time is pretty rare. The issue doesn't really become something society starts to deal with until "15 years later", or the mid-1950s.

Kavak posted:The postwar events make no mention of what the CSA's court system is like, but for their part the AUS makes the justices elected officials. If they're following a syndicalist model, shouldn't the judges be selected by and from among the unions of the people who practice law? Selections would probably still have to be confirmed by another branch of government. Actually it occurs to me that I have no idea what accounting firms, law firms, and the various other partnerships and individuals who make up the "professional services" types of jobs would do and how they would function in a syndicalist system.

The Marvel and DC comics are surprisingly unchanged, with the millionaire playboy types being union leaders instead of CEOs. The Fantastic Four start out going into space to beat the capitalists instead of the communists, of course.

Yeah Superman is new deal progressive as all get out, so they really wouldn't have to change him much for the new regime. Maybe not at all actually, the hyper-patriot "American way" respect for authority stuff only came along in the '50's with the Comics Code. Bruce Wayne would donate his estate to the people in the late '30s I guess. Although, Superheroes would probably not even be as big as they are now, for several reasons. A big one being other genres not completely dying out in the '50s because, again, no Comics Code.

Having poo poo go down in continents besides Europe should also have a chance to trigger war, much like the CSA and Canada getting into a fight can for the Internationale and the Entente.
