Talk:Workers' Union (Our Revolution)

I know you have fleshed this out (and have done a very good job; it's an interesting universe you've created here), and I dn't know jack about the English monarchy...but how did the traditionally well-loved English Crown become so unpopular as to be overthrown? I am also worried that a civil war (or at least some political violence) would break out between the "Reactionary" loyalists to the Crown and the percieved "Anarchists" trying to peacefully overthrow it, Even if the revolutionaries don't want war, even if they win every slot in the British government, even if the monarch is a supporter of the movement and abdicates, there will still be die-hards, "concerned" royal family members and ambitious politicians who won't stand by and let it happen without a fight. Couldn't the monarchy theoretically remain as a purely ceremonial role? I'm sure Lincoln (again, growing up in a society that rebelled against a monarchy) would not have a high opinion of monarchism, but then again, the Bolsheviks were shameless imperialists and police state goons, even though Marx (and even Lenin) said that things like that were no-no's. At the very least, they could let the monarchy continue a highly marginalized existance for a few decades, until the population of the entire British Empire (there will be pro-monarchy folks in the Empire as well) is ready to vote them away?

I guess the name "Worker's Royal Navy" sounds way too cool or maybe I just think that Britain without a monarchy is very interesting and novel, but at the same time has that "hollow-inside"-"we-shouldn't-have-killed-the-Romanovs" loss of tradition vibe (and, as an American, I think it would just be less exciting, and too much like "Canada with Castles), while a monarchist Britain has that "Glory of Empire" / "Fighting for King and Country" vibe, but is a bit stale sometimes because, it actually happened in real life.

I don't know man. I may be out of line. I may be just telling you what I like and not anything helpful...but I gotta express this stuff, cause I'm working on something similar to (okay, heavily inspired by) "Our Revolution" and I like the prospect of a socialist, yet monarchist Britain and I can't make decisions to make up my mind and I don't have anyone to really talk to about my AH stuff and...I'm going to stop now...

Please forgive me if I'm being annoying and you don't have to answer this or change anything or even regard it, I just have to ask these nagging questions that just swim around in my head nonstop...108.28.37.166 20:54, November 22, 2011 (UTC)AnonymousN00b 6
