abstract
  • The Socialist Confederacy, officially the Socialist Confederate States of America (SCSA), is a single-party, socialist confederation comprising of 15 states plus the Democratic Capital of Alexandria that covers an area encompassing much of the American South. With a population of 122 million as of 2016, it is the second most populated country in North America, behind its northern neighbor, the United States, and Mexico. It is a member of several international organizations, including the United Nations, NATO, and the Organization of American States. It is considered a regional power and its economy is a vital contributor to trade in North America. Its head of state is the President of the SCSA, elected every four years. The current President is Jon Nixon, elected in 2012. The SCSA also has its own unicameral legislature called the Worker's Congress of the Socialist Confederacy which is composed of 150 representatives from each state. The SCSA was formed following the Dixie Spring of 1930 in which several socialist and labor movements arose in major population centers in the Southern US. Unemployment caused by the Great Depression led to widespread discontent and anti-capitalist sentiment began brewing. A socialist uprising in Russia prompted the spread of communism and far-left politics elsewhere and inspired massive anti-capitalist demonstrations in major cities across Dixie. Several socialist and communist politicians were elected in various state and city elections. Stephen Blackburn, a member of the Dixie Workers Party (DWP) became the first communist governor when he was elected in Georgia in 1932. At the federal level, the South sent an upwards of 35 communist politicians to the U.S. Congress. A far-left bloc led by the DWP was created which changed the foundations of American politics which had been previously dominated by Republicans and Democrats. The DWP only saw successes at the state and local levels, however, and attempts at reform at the federal level consistently failed. Public dissatisfaction with Congress grew in the South and talks of secession came up in town hall debates across the region. In 1938, Virginia became the first state to secede from the US and the Socialist State of Virginia (SSV) was proclaimed. Virginia was followed by Georgia three months later, then by Tennessee, and finally Texas the following year. Together these states formed the Socialist Confederate States. In 1939, World War II in Europe broke out and the United States elected to remain neutral but its attention was nevertheless divided. More states joined the SCSA and the U.S. began preparing for a military confrontation. In 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the United States was forced to divert its attention to the conflict there and in Europe. The SCSA contributed to the war effort in Europe, using state militias consolidated into one national army. Following Germany's defeat, President Harry S. Truman agreed to allow independence from the United States following intense negotiations, a controversial decision that still has ramifications to the this day.
