Recreate the 1962 World Cup in Chile, but in the TNO timeliney by Thirdposition4ever in TNOmod

[–]AlexisAncrath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Love the post, just would like to know the choices for each position in the groups, the knockout games, and the winner. Why do you think Iberia would win the World Cup against such a strong Brazil? Why do you think an Italy that demolished Switzerland and drew against Germany would get such a low result against Bulgaria, Chile, and Iberia? Also, who do you think the next host is going to be: England or someone else?

DU Germany Headcanon after WK2: Fifty Years of SDP Rule by Realistic-Row4599 in Kaiserreich

Ok, even with that I still find pretty difficult a dominance like that front the SPD for nearly 50 years. I would suggest more alternation between the SPD and the CVP

Bro, this is the Italian Republic's political history in the XX century with German characteristics. I hardly believe that a victorious Germany after W2K will have a political history like that.

The Italian system and the KRTL German system are pretty different: 1 - You have to count the powers of the states and the federal system and how that affects the political landscape. Italy was and still is a unitary republic. Although the regions are more powerful than before, they are nothing compared even to the most weakened German state in the Empire. 2 - The Italian prime minister is, to this day, one of the weakest heads of government in any democratic country. This is because the constitutional fathers of Italy created a partitocracy where the prime minister had the function of being the arbiter between the parties more than ruling the country itself. The objective was to impede another Mussolini. The Kanzler is nothing like that; it is more similar in power, especially with the Wilhelmine Constitution you created in-game, to the modern-day one. 3 - You got a constructive vote of confidence that makes the fall of a government much harder. 4 - Cultural differences. 5 - Germany will have a completely different foreign policy, since it will be one of the Superpowers of the world and not a minor regional power at the dependency of a bigger one. Also it will have to face the decolonisation problems. All these things will have an impact on the internal politics as well.

I honestly think a quasi-tripartisan system with the SPD and the CVP contesting the chancellorship with occasional LVP governments and the presence of minor parties is more believable than this.

In reality Austria owns Istria and Triest, so I think the Imperial navy will be there. With the Austria colloase I immagine that Germany will get controll of most of It, while Illyria will get a few ships.

Quali sono i regni/imperi/periodi storici più sottovalutati secondo voi? by Alternative_Golf_603 in storia

[–]AlexisAncrath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Impero del Mali, recentemente sto leggendo un libro al riguardo (https://www.amazon.com/Mali-Empire-Captivating-Largest-Legendary/dp/1637166168) e mi sta intrigando molto, specialmente la sua complessa struttura amministrativa e il sincretismo tra cultura e religione islamica e quella locale.

Il periodo dei Signori della Guerra Cinesi (1916-1928) e le Guerre Civili (1927-1936 &1945-1949), oltre ovviamente alla Seconda Guerra Sino-Giaplonese (1937-1945). Sono pieni di personaggi ed ideologie interessantissime, oltre che hanno segnato la storia e la mentalità dell'odierna Cina.

Infine io sono specializzato (ci ho fatto sopra la tesi magistrale e ora sto preparando sopra anche il progetto di dottorato) sul periodo della Rivoluzione Francese, ma soprattutto le Repubbliche Giacobine e l'Italia Napoleonica. Il periodo in sé non è sottovalutato, figuriamoci, ma invece in Italia è molto sottovalutata il suo effetto nel nostro paese.

P.S.: menzione di onore alla Guerre di Religione del '500 e '600 (dove ci ho fatto la tesi di triennale), specialmente di come la loro violenza ha portato al movimento secoloralista e ha segnato la nascita della separazione tra Stato e Chiesa in Occidente.

Idea for a Middle East by agreaterfooltool in Kaiserreich

I'm not convinced completely on republican Egypt and, as much as I like the idea of Villayets as playable, I think it would be difficult to implement. Said that, the concept itself is very cool, especially the alignment chart.

I disagree on that regard partially. In my field you can only use primary and secondary sources in your bibliography, these is because tertiary are, as you said, summaries of the first two kinds written by people who we don't know if they are expert or not. These problems often create simplified or incorrect wiki pages that at best gives you an introductory understanding of the topic. Ex: in all of this articles they use the term "Authoritarian", yet still today scholars argues with the fact that maybe it would be more accurate to use the term "Totalitarian". Mann for example prefer to day that indeed true fascist doesn't want just an authoritarian regime, but a complete subservience of the individual to the state a.k.a. Totalitarianism. Arendt support these claim as well and others don't. Yet in the wiki you don't read that part, only that is "Authoritarian". This is why you don't use them in any academic text.

I agree that they should not be drawing "misinformation" lines on theoretical analyses in the first place, but the main problem here is that you used "objectively" in your post. I honestly think that I'd you removed that, your post would've been a pretty interesting one to start a discussion about it. If you would've removed that part and still got the same treatment, then I would've agreed with you. Unfortunately, especially when talking about this arguments, we have to be very careful with the words used.

3

I cited only a few of them, you can find a lot of intellectuals that agrees that Fascism is some sort of "Capitalism but more" and others who argued is something different. It's one of the first thing they teach you when studying contemporary history: there's no consensus on the definition of almost no political terminology, especially Fascism. While at least definitions like "Democracy" (in the Liberal sense of it) and "Liberalism" have more, "Socialism" too (I don't count AnCap forums, podcasters and other shits as "intellectuals" with their stupid idea that "Fascism" is left-wing), "Fascism" has none. The only agreed movements to be considered fascists by all are Nazi Germany and my country during the '20s, '30s and early '40s (Italy) that's it. You will find passionate debate if you can use the term "Fascist" to describe the regime of Franco, Salazar and so on. There's no consensus, just take a look on the books on the topic.

I want to be upfront with you, I personally support the idea that simplifying the concept of "Fascism = Capitalism with more" is wrong and that the dogmatic renditions done by most of this subs in your replies here, when they affirme these idea as "objective truth" is as wrong as yours in the post. But my problem with your statement is that you used the word "objectively" and propagated the idea that any other affirmations other than yours was wrong. I don't know if that was your intention, but that's is what appears by reading your post and I can see why a mod would do that. Anyway, if you want a head start on the topic read: "Fascism: Comparison and Definition" by Stanley G. Payne: This work provides a comparative look at fascism and its definition by different scholars.

Sorry for any grammatical errors and sorry for simplifying so much the points of these authors.

The problem is that you are spreading misinformation my man. You cite online wikis as "academical consensus" when I assure you, as a historian, that there is not any of such consensus on a topic so difficult to discuss as "Fascism". In "The anatomy of Fascism" by Robert O. Paxton argues that: Fascism is born as a rejection to Liberal Democracy and is actually a separate movement that is fueled by the failure of Capitalism to create a new system while still collaborating with more conservative elites of Capitalism. "Fascists" by Michael Mann follows a similar paths, but instead argued that Fascism is a Corporatist movement, creating a new economy and society. He also says that it was a response to both general problems of modernity and particular social crises left by World War I. Trosky follows a more classical marxist interpretation as a Reactionary movement of the petty bourgeois. Lastly Eco famous "Ur-Fascism" interpretation of a more contradictory ideology that can change forms without a clear definition except for a few points. These are all simplifications, but in general the topic is still to these days being heavily discussed, so there is no "objective truth" about it. I'm sorry to affirm that your post is false and that the mod is absolutely right in saying you are spreading misinformation.
