Is it true that Dostoyevsky planned for Alyosha to become a political terrorist in the sequel to this novel?

Don't know but that would have been badass.

I would've liked to see Alyosha help Dmitri escape his prison sentence.

We already got his suffering after Zosima's death

That wasn't the thorough suffering that so many of Dostoyevsky's other major characters go through, though. Alyosha had some bad thoughts and bitterness in his head for about a day, but he quickly overcomes them before he can give in to them.
We never saw the bulk of Alyosha's story, his entering into wordly affairs as premeditated by Zosima. I have to say though, I like imagining that he lead a happy life after helping Dmitri escape.

I imagine he would attach himself to Lise and the boys and reluctantly follow them as they grew up and become more radical and he would sacrifice himself for their sake somehow

Is this the one where the dude kills his father?

Is it weird that I loved this book, but I have no idea what it was about?

But he tells the boys that he is going to leave the town soon, after Ivan recovers and Dmitry is sent away, and to always remember the moment by Ilyusha's Stone
