/lit/ - Literature

What does that mean to us, in this universe? If anything?

Utopia is literature related, right?

How?

And how much more fascist could the US get?

>>4919022
Oh yeah. I haven't read that one. How did Dick imagine it?

Because 4chan lacks interesting threads.

I got worse recently.

So what would you like from this thread? You have to come up with how a little European country could succeed in concurring it's neighbors... The fastest way I can see it is if FDR didn't become president. The wealthy railroaded in one of their more faithful toads. The US siding with Germany would help Hitler out, but then there's plenty of Americans who would start a rebellion against DC...

>>4919010
Not in any plausible way or sense. US Fascism, like Peronism, would have a strong native structure and would not reference European fascisms in their core articulation.

you got loled into oblivion. based mods.

Axis won WWII?

Europe would be a predominately german controlled state. The could war would have never occurred. Modern wold politics would be dominated by Russia, Germany, the USA, and Japan. China would be controlled half and half japan/russia.

Are you actually retarded? I wish commie shits would just die.

>>4919234
>And how much more fascist could the US get?

From a certain perspective, I kind of envy your naive optimism.

>>4919539
My comment was a little sarcastic, it can certainly get worse then this level police state, (and all the rest of the obvious signs) but are you really this blind? Are you the anon who didn't know the US was a neocolonialist commercial empire?

>Commie shits
Anarchist, if not leftist, will do fine by me.

>>4919567
You're an Anarchist, too, Anon?

We almost certainly don't exist, so I'd say quite a bit.

It was possible for Germany to secure war aims up until the invasion of the Soviet Union. The declaration of war on the United States certainly helped speed up the process.

But Germany could conceivably have outlasted the UK's economy until the UK cracked in revolution first, in a peripheral war.

Then we'd need to get the United States to fall to fascism, which could be possible in the twenty years after the UK as a state defaulted in revolution.

And even then, US fascism would need to be amenable to German fascism, AND German fascism would have needed to have not collapsed under the weight of its own economic Hubris or willingness to try invading the Soviet Union or Revolutionary Britain, AND the United States would wish to honour whomever the third Great Leader was with an exceptional display of their state flags on the white house.

So the photo at the beginning and the claim could conceivably occur—in absolute bizarro land with PODs dating back in the 19th century.

Nice Ellis text btw.

Yes Promé. It's an ideal endgame, if you will, that can't just happen overnight or even over one century, but it can and should develop someday.

>>4919595
>to secure war aims
Such aims obviously being the defeat of the French state and the collapse of the British state, with the right of Germany to redraw European borders and hegemonise.

I was once a Communist. After a while, I began to realize that -- in the ideal world -- it would be best to live in a society lacking some big brother-like governmental body or handful of 'powerful' men. Alas, as I've aged, I've realized that politics in general are pointless, and I would much rather live in a state of political apathy.

>>4919631
Most people get apathetic about that sort of thing. Can't blame 'em really.

If the workplace were democratized, flat out owned by the people working there, you'd cure a lot of social ills.
