I think he builds a viable alternative. Whether or not it would have occurred is a different matter.

Assuming it does happen, it would make for an interesting spin on things and communism in the long run.

I mean, assuming Trotsky is in power and defeated, what about Asian countries like Vietnam, Korea, or even China? What about Japan?

It's happening.

Vietnam remains French Colony/Protectorate. Japan possibly remains in it's Imperial existence and KMT emerges victorious over the other Warlords.

All assuming that the Soviets didn do anything in Asia or had a war with Japan as well.

Well at least it is the first one so there is that good news.

Maybe so, but would that mean the war against Japan would still happen but with more resources against them?

Trotsky would have focused on Europe first and foremost and any war with Japan would have been defensive to start. Though he most likely would have gone full balls to the walls if Japan attacked.

It would be even more interesting since Japan's war with China was immensely unpopular in the West but a Trotsky led USSR would be more hated than a Stalin led USSR (and I cannot understate how fearful the West was of the USSR during the 20's and 30's).

I'm surprised none of the Christians here have attacked me for associating some of my ideals with Dawkins or LaVey.

Then again, maybe the ones here are more educated than the IRL ones I sometimes deal with, who automatically assume LaVeyan Satanists are devil worshipers. :/

I mean, I was surprised considering LaVey, but you're more of an atheist than an actual Satanist, I'm guessing? Or am I off? Dawkins didn't surprise me too much, no offense.

No offense is taken. Depending on time a day, I am more or less easily offended, but not by trivial stuff like this.

And yes, I'm an atheistic person, but I like some of LaVey's points and read into lots of the Church of Satan's stuff online. It is intriguing and some of my ideology has been inspired from it at one point or another. Dawkins is obvious.

LaVeyan Satanism is a new religious movement founded in 1966 by the American occultist and author Anton Szandor LaVey. The religion's doctrines and practices are codified in LaVey's book, The Satanic Bible. Its core philosophy is based on individualism and egoism, encouraging an epicurean pursuit of fleshly indulgence, an eye for an eye ethical code, and the concept of "self-deification". The philosophy positions itself in favor of Social Darwinism and opposes egalitarianism, seeing it as a conservator of mediocrity and decadence, and to a larger extent, the Abrahamic faiths, which are seen as lies which promote idealism, self-denigration, herd behavior, and irrationality. The philosophy seeks more draconian measures taken in the realm of law and order, and may also support some forms of eugenics. The religion propagates a naturalistic worldview, seeing mankind as animals existing in an amoral universe.

LaVey established LaVeyan Satanism in the U.S. state of California through the founding of his Church of Satan on Walpurgisnacht of 1966, which he proclaimed to be "the Year One", Anno Satanas—the first year of the "Age of Satan". His ideas were heavily influenced by the ideas and writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand, and Carl Jung. The Church grew under LaVey's leadership, with regional grottos being founded across the United States. A number of these seceded from the Church to form independent Satanic organizations during the early 1970s. In 1975, LaVey abolished the grotto system, after which Satanism became a far less organized movement, although remained greatly influenced by LaVey's writings. In coming years, members of the Church left it to establish their own organisations, also following LaVeyan Satanism, among them the First Church of Satan and Karla LaVey's First Satanic Church.

The religion is atheistic and materialist, rejecting the existence of supernatural beings, body-soul dualism, and life after death. Practitioners do not believe that the character of Satan literally exists and do not worship him. Instead, Satan is viewed as a positive archetype who represents pride, carnality, and enlightenment, and of a cosmos which Satanists perceive to be motivated by a "dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things". The Devil is embraced as a symbol of defiance against the Abrahamic faiths which LaVey criticized for what he saw as the suppression of humanity's natural instincts. Moreover, Satan also serves as a metaphorical external projection of the individual's godhood.

LaVeyan Satanism involves the practice of magic, which encompasses two distinct forms; greater and lesser magic. Greater magic is a form of ritual practice and is meant as psychodramatic catharsis to focus one's emotional energy for a specific purpose. These rites are based on three major psycho-emotive themes, including compassion (love), destruction (hate), and sex (lust). Lesser magic is the practice of manipulation by means of applied psychology and glamour (or "wile and guile") to bend an individual or situation to one's will. LaVey defined magic as "the change in situations or events in accordance with one's will, which would, using normally accepted methods, be unchangeable." LaVey espoused the view that there was an objective reality to magic, and that it relied upon natural forces that were yet to be discovered by science.


Read this for info on LaVeyan Satanism. It isn't even remotely devil worship; rather, it is worship of the self and humanity, and essentially says 'we are our own gods'. Stuff like that.

A person with a god complex, such as myself, is sure to find it appealing.

I'd advise going to their website to read up on some of their theories and practices. It's really interesting and educational.

Greater magic is a form of ritual practice and is meant as psychodramatic catharsis to focus one's emotional energy for a specific purpose. These rites are based on three major psycho-emotive themes, including compassion (love), destruction (hate), and sex (lust). Lesser magic is the practice of manipulation by means of applied psychology and glamour (or "wile and guile") to bend an individual or situation to one's will. LaVey defined magic as "the change in situations or events in accordance with one's will, which would, using normally accepted methods, be unchangeable." LaVey espoused the view that there was an objective reality to magic, and that it relied upon natural forces that were yet to be discovered by science.


Read this for info on LaVeyan Satanism. It isn't even remotely devil worship; rather, it is worship of the self and humanity, and essentially says 'we are our own gods'. Stuff like that.

A person with a god complex, such as myself, is sure to find it appealing.

I'd advise going to their website to read up on some of their theories and practices. It's really interesting and educational.

Oh so Ayn Rand. Okay. Ryan would be proud to have you a citizen of Rapture.

So you don't like Ayn Rand? Or you do? Just curious.

Okay. I see how this works now.

...Ergh...Ayn Rand...Still not sure why I had to read "Anthem" for sophomore year of high school...I liked it at the time, now I'm not sure...They gave us the most random books to read, for some of our Honors classes...


Yeah. I took some of LaVey's stuff and Satanist stuff and integrated it / altered it as necessary to conform into my ideology. At least, with the aspects I derived from there that did inspire me.

And yes, I'm an atheistic person, but I like some of LaVey's points and read into lots of the Church of Satan's stuff online. It is intriguing and some of my ideology has been inspired from it at one point or another. Dawkins is obvious.

I guessed Dawkins because you're atheist.

>_> I'm an Atheist and I'm not a big fan off Dawkins. Why ya gotta go assuming things?
