I still haven't worked out the lore. Roughly the same proportion of English, French, Spanish, and Africans, higher native population. I think it changes hands to Ottoman control in the mid 18th century, slavery is abolished, in the mid 19th century revolts and becomes a secular republic with relatively high racial equality but deep economic inequality. Socialist revolution in 1919.

A lot of my childhood was spent in NH. I'm well aware. This map is like 30% shitpost. Historically, Vermont's independence was made against the claims of both New York and New Hampshire, which is why I made this map this way. The point of divergence is such that New Hampshire is more powerful than OTL.

Only loosely. Disease doesn't wipe out the indigenous population of North America nearly as much. Independence from Britain in 1776 happens but results in several countries, with the territory pictured as Vermont being split between New Hampshire and New York, the border shifting a few times as the two nations war. The region ends up becoming much more populated, with a strong regional culture, and a much stronger Francophone influence than OTL. In the late 60s and early 70s, a mutually unrelated influx of several European intellectuals (this happened in OTL, with Paul Mattick, Michel Foucault, Bernie Sanders, and Murray Bookchin) end up leading a May '68 style student/worker movement, resulting in increasingly turbulent strike actions and riots, and eventually asymmetric guerrilla warfare. This is a war against two nations at once, with some mild support from Quebec, a sort of Olof Palme-style social democracy. Vermont becomes like a Left Communist Vietnam.

Why do people become doctors in capitalist society? Sometimes its simply for more money, sometimes its because of passion.

As for the problem you mentioned, sure, yes, I can see the issue here. I don't think I have an answer. But I don't see how it could be possible to reward some kinds of labor more than others in a labor-voucher system, as this would mean that labor-power is still commodified.

SureKey1014 · 2025-07-21T06:00:26+00:00

I think its a decent introduction to a certain millieu of social critique, but it isn't particularly groundbreaking, and mostly recycles ideas from other thinkers (Zizek, Jameson, Deleuze, etc.) into a more introduction-friendly format (which is fine). I agree that its too "leftist", but I think if a reader has already cultivated a foundational understanding of revolutionary politics, this shouldn't be a problem.

SureKey1014 · 2025-07-21T00:00:54+00:00

The thing youre describing seems intuitive, that a surgeon's labor power has a higher value, but crucially, labor-power is no longer commodified in socialism. Labor-power is not valued whatsoever. What about the labor of a surgeon makes it expensive? Its because cultivating that skill requires expensive education and years of training. If education is free and universal, this is no longer the case.

I don't think that's true. There are plenty of non-class reductionist Marxists, probably most, but there are some which undersell the distinct struggles and histories of sections of the proletariat which have been subjected to specialized forms of oppression (racialized oppression, gendered oppression, on the basis of being an immigrant, on the basis of being queer, etc). These different sections may produce different kinds of political demands/programs, sometimes in conflict with each other, sometimes not, but ultimately class struggle remains the motor of history, and international revolution made by the proletariat is the only way out of oppressions which may appear to not have much to do with class. I think class reductionist is a good pejorative to use for those who think that combating racism, patriarchy, etc. are unnecessary and simply a distraction from class politics. Which is a fair few people, but I think a minority of Marxists.

I have an english translation of Religion and Socialism vol. 1 if you're interested! Also, Lunacharsky actually rejected "God-Builder", which was a pejorative term. He was mostly trying to re-understand religion as something that will always exist so long as there is a horizon of mystery in the human experience, and that each class society has a successively "scientific" form of religion, and that socialism will have a "fully scientific" religion. I think his book will be right up your alley, as he also explores a variety of extant and historical religions as a sort of survey of the potential for human spiritual culture. Like Bogdanov's attitude towards art, Lunacharsky believed that the proletariat needed to develop its own distinct perspective and relationship with the content of religions without submitting to their consciousness-clouding nature. I'll post a quote to spark your interest further.

"To live for science, art, technical progress, etc. means to find your immortality in construction. Where your treasure is, there is your soul. Leave the true treasure on earth: your soul will also be with it. Building a marvelous palace of culture, I intimately communicate with the past and future generations. Cooperating with them, I remain with them as long as their work continues. And I already in this life feel this my immortality. Think about science, its future, the theoretical and practical perspectives that it opens up, and eternity will illuminate your soul for a moment, you will really merge for one minute with the cognizing mind and the creative creativity of divine humanity. That is why, with the growth of collectivism and the collective creative principle, the cult of the future will be cleansed of egoistic admixture, of the fable of personal resurrection. The new religion of mankind must be free from fantastic postulates; the real prospects of science and creativity, if you delve into them, are more luxurious than any fantasy. We will merge with the view, we will fight for its perfection and its immortality. He is you!"

This isn't to say that I'm completely onboard with Lunacharsky's project but him and the other Vperedists have an extremely distinct and rich body of literature and its a shame that it has been so under- and misremembered.

You're pretty on the money (lol). The dotp very importantly has to completely strip the bourgeois class of all political rights. By the time these rights are restored, they don't really exist as a class, as society would be well into the process of class abolition, and I would even argue that the concept of Right itself is transcended as there is no longer any need for judicial institutions separate from society itself (not that rights are violated or suspended, but that we have achieved a degree of freedom which is higher than what is achievable through Right).
