I would play Hammer and Stake in a heart beat as long as we all agree we must speak in stereotypical Russian communist fashion. It feels like a pulp novel style of concept.
There’s plenty of religious sov citizens who have similar styles of beliefs, claiming their immunity comes from their Christian identity. Again, sovereign citizens first.
Exactly my point. They're going to jump on something like marxist theory like a starving dog to a bone. It explains everything they want, and provides a solution. And it tells them "You're next in the collars." Nothing like a bit of fear to kickstart a revolution.
Latin was still the dominant language for the next few centuries in many areas. In most cases it was simply a change in management and a gradual cultural drift away from the Roman standard as the new ruling class implemented some changes and integrated with the local population. And even after...
If not to the barbarians, it would have collapsed from infighting in the fifth century anyway, or been taken over by the East. The Roman army of this era actually increased in size not because of foreign threats but because of internal ones. The lack of political stability was far, far more...
The economic woes in the west were less from the army and more from a shift in weather patterns, bad harvests, a reduced tax base, a smaller population due to plague and famine and thus less taxes on top of all that.

Personally, if it's something that a factory refit would fix up and you're open about what parts have been replaced by modern reproductions, feel free to replace what you need to replace. Try and get as much of the rust cleaned as possible as carefully as possible - there's some techniques that...
Nah, just someone who enjoys studying history. And calling Rhodes a trashfire isn't really too far off the mark, the only good thing the man ever did in his life was set up the Rhodes scholarships. The rest of it is seeking power for the sake of power in the cloak of empire. He wanted to start a...
Holy shit I absolutely despise the idea that revisionism is some kind of communist plot to paint white people as always bad and always evil. A lot of historical revision is simply research finding new and different things, or archeological evidence providing new insights, or more detached...
If anything you'd see the South falling to a communist revolution of some sort. Marxist ideas would spread like wildfire among poorer whites in a society that still has slaves devaluing their labor, and slaves would probably support it too. Especially if you start seeing corporate, industrial...
