Also (continuing yesterday`s post of mine),

I´m really curious about the future of the "communist" USL.

As for the nature of such a communism: without a prior French revolution, Marx and the foundation in German idealist philosophy, I suppose its ideological basis must stem from what was there in the colonies, i.e. Christian thought, freemasonry and English traditions like those of the Levellers. That leaves loads of options, but throws into question the emphasis on industrialisation and expansion. (Both basically made it into Communist world-views with the Bolsheviks succeeding in an underindustrialized country on the basis of Lenin`s adaptation of Marx`s view on history as a fixed sequence of developmental stages, and finally with Stalin`s version of implementing it.)

But if the USLR should want to expand into all directions, that would lead to all their neighbours turning against them, which would annihilate the country, I suppose. An interesting question is, what about a French revolution? It´s about time ;-) A revolunary Jacobine France could be a different factor, a potential continental partner for the USLR.

I´ve been thinking a lot about the Lakota race to the West.

As an imperial expansion, it would totally overstretch the Lakota`s powers. The most plausible version, in my opinion, would be if the French expansion was a bit ahead of them, so that tribes to the West would experience the need for a defensive alliance themselves or could at least be easily shown its necessity.
