What if the Soviets won the cold war: Part 6; a free nation, standing alone

     With the loss of Britain directly on the mind of America, American foreign policy changed drastically. America would have one goal; survive against Marxist aggression. Military spending was reduced, and American presence across the globe was reduced. This caused the Indonesian rebellions of 1980, and the Soviet-backed coup in the Philippines in 1981. The domino theory was proven correct, from South-East Asia to Africa, to America's backyard in Latin America.

    In the 1980 election, the severely unpopular Jimmy Carter had to face the most parties in American history. Most notable was the formation of the Libertarian Socialist party, "the New Liberal Party". The NLP picked California representative Ron Dellums for their VP. The 1980 campaign was a two-issue campaign, foreign policy, and economic crisis. The GOP picked Texas Governor George H.W. Bush, the Democrats stuck with Jimmy Carter, the CPUSA stayed with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and the NLP went with California Representative, Ron Dellums. The results were 6% for the NLP, 23% for the CPUSA, 31% for the Democrats, and 40% for the GOP. This left the new Bush administration with the minority government in Congress, meaning George Bush would need a coalition with the Democrats to make any progress on a bill. This left Bush empty-handed on his promises to raise military spending, total abortion ban, new privatization, tax cuts, and banning Marijuana. This made Bush even more hated than Jimmy Carter.

    

Surprisingly enough, the new Bush administration had a similar stance on foreign policy as the previous administration. America said to her people that American men would not die for nations that weren't their own. This led to the Philipean coup of January 1981, leading to a new socialist state that would join the Warsaw Pact. The new state sponsored the Indonesian civil war, in which a socialist state declared war on the siting nationalist government. This war would last for almost a decade and left Indonesia a shell of a nation.

    In 1983, Georgi Yanayev resigned, leaving his succsessor, Dimitri Yazov in power of the Supreme Soviet. Yazov had three goals, increasing space funding, expanding the warsaw pacts power, and increasing Soviet technological power. In the Lenningrad accords of May 1983, representatives of every

Warsaw Pact member met too discuss the potential for a more powerfull allience. The new Warsaw Pact had free trade and travel between members, a united military command, a united space force, and fully united agency of economy, resocures, propoganda, military, and several other key forces for communist life. These actions were critiqued in the west, but it was a huge success in the Warsaw Pact, as people saw this as one more step too global Communism.

    Around the same-time, chairman Corbin, leader of the British Peoples New Marixst party (formarly new Labour), finnaly announced the exile of all members of the royal family and anyone with a title to either leave the country, renounce their title, or face 10 years prison. This resulted in a max-exodus of former elites of British society too Canada, where they would continue their positions. After finnaly riding-themselves of their Queen, they would join the Warsaw Pact on April 21st, 1984, the same day as Queen Elizabeth the seconds birthday.

    The American election saw the inaguration of Moderate Socialist, Ralph Nader was elected, with an agenda of American appesment (and potential allience) with the soviet union, higher welfare spending, and climate change reduction. This led to the greatest increase in taxation in American history, with the rate of taxation going from 23%  too 49%, this, his ineffectiveness, and his extreme softness with the Soviets, and his faliure for any real welfare reforms proved him extremly uneffective, and there were threats on hi slife several times. This being said, he surrivied his entire term. His political carrer didn't as he was polling in the low 20s.
