For the struggle carries on

For the struggle carries on is an alternate history scenario created by Copelonian (copecopeson on Reddit). =Lore= In this timeline Roosevelt is elected and America join the war in 1915 and causing a socialist boom post war with returning soldiers, many of them disabled, cannot receive the appropriate benefits they deserve. This added with the black vote would cause the Socialist party to become the 3rd party in politics, winning around 20 seats in the House and around 10 in the Senate.

Their 3rd party status would end when they won the presidency in 1924. Business leaders and the army fearing Socialism, attempted to coup d'état but their attempt failed and caused the 2nd Civil War. It ended in a stalemate with Midwestern and Northeast states being controlled by the socialists and the nationalists controlled the rest. The nationalists would ultimately turn fascist in the 30s. In World War Two the socialists side with the Allies after being attacked by the nationalists in 1940 and the nationalists with the Axis. A uprising of Blacks and underground socialists happened starting in 1941 in California, they call themselves the Pacific Resistance with the name being inspired by the French Resistance. The uprising is ultimately successful after the Junta government agree to a ceasefire in 1944. The socialist government would refuse to annex most of nationalists controlled land, saying in a press release; "The annexation of all territories controlled by the American Peace and Order Restoration Committee is unfeasible and will not be conducted by our government..." The war ended in 1946 after the socialist goverment detonate nuclear bombs on Yokohama and Nagasaki and the Soviet Union invaded Manchuria. The Soviets and the Americans agreed to the independence of Korea after weeks of deadlock in negotiations over what to do with Korea.

After the war the Anglo-Soviet split happened. The main reasons of the split were the human rights abuses the Soviet government have committed. In a weird turn of events, Socialist America is allied with the nationalist government of Winston Churchill. This alliance is called the Unholy Alliance by most historians. The socialists would commit to aiding the workers in wartorn Europe, giving out $15 billion for the recovery in return for enacting some social democratic policies.

In the 1970s the right would rise again with Christianity rising again and later in the 1990s Neoliberalism would also rise.
