A book or book series concept I have had for a while, which has become inactive; when projects become inactive I throw them into some kind of blog-like space to make me re-evaluate them critically and make a real decision on how or if I will return to them.

Scraps[edit]

24/2 gramsci

Themes[edit]

Alchemy[edit]

Marxism as alchemy (adventure narratives) (proposed; ML) 1-1-1

Psychological repression[edit]

North Korea point (proposed; ML) 1-1-1
Gay movements are against the proletariat (pronounced Soviet Union) (proposed; ML) 1-1-1
Trotsky deserting progressive cause (proposed; IV) 1-1-1
If LGBT+ support Stalin, Trotsky abandons them (proposed; MX) 1-1-1
If Panthers succeed Trotsky abandons them (proposed; MX) 1-1-1

Misc Items[edit]

Far Alchavia -> fictional autonomous republic.
Sending experts to Far Alchavia doomed the rest of the Soviet Union -> joke theory about my own setting. the real Soviet Union had a shortage of experts. the imagined one sent a particular handful of progressive people to Far Alchavia. conclusion: sending them there had consequences.

Ironblood and Aurora system[edit]

The Aurora system is a card-based tabletop game framework designed mainly to suit the Ironblood setting but also intended to be usable for specific different settings and stories just as tabletop RPG systems have "campaigns". Like Ironblood it is currently more of a concept than anything, although it already has a lot of tentative details.

Character cards[edit]

pronounced 617. (S)pronounced (S): Flowingcoat (pronounced Pax; Ironblood) 1-1-1

 The [[User:Reversedragon/Aurora|Aurora system]] is a card-based tabletop game framework designed mainly to suit the Ironblood setting but also intended to be usable for specific different settings and stories just as tabletop RPG systems have "campaigns". Like Ironblood it is currently more of a concept than anything, although it already has a lot of tentative details.

-* {{TTS|tts=we're|W.E.R.}} LaFarge <strong class="caps i">[[User:Reversedragon/Ironblood/USS-PAX/LaFarge|Name-Unknown]]</strong> - culturally-defined Communist ally / charcoal color? he wrote plays but apparently the big thing he did was own a watershed to keep it from being developed. [https://narrowriver.org/friend-of-the-river-award/] not a very Marxist approach<ref name="rd"/> but I liked reading his story so he's a card now.

-<ref name="rd">You could throw the same jab at me but I was always honest about it. I've never truly believed that writing books and cataloguing stuff, or even making informative videos, is inherently revolutionary by itself compared to the near-impossible task of producing a theoretical model [[E:Most science is not done in the material world|so stellar]] anyone can go put it into practice instead of [[E:Western Marxism|just writing papers]]. Every day I try to get closer. Every day I can see almost exactly how far I am from getting there, what seems like step 1 of ten thousand.</ref>
