In a counterfactual America, the United States of America underwent a communist revolution in the late-1910s to early-1920s resulting in the United States being reorganized into a communist nation. Despite this, most American institutions still remain intact, if having been reformed and refined. The traditional three branches of government, the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary are all still extant but have been slightly reformed. In Congress, the Senate has been abolished, and the House of Representatives becoming the House of People's Representatives (HoPR). The HoPR consists of 1,867 delegates and is partitioned into three sections; the People's Section which represents the general population, the Wheel Section which represent unions, and the Congregational Section which represents mainly Christian congregations. The United States is not a one-party state, as multiple political parties compete for seats in elections and cooperate on policy in the HoPR. That being said however, the Communist Party of America (CPA) still remains dominate in the HoPR, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, the governorships, mayorships, etc. In theory, the President does not have to be a member of the CPA, but in practice most Presidents have served as the head of the party. The nation isn't entirely dominated by the CPA however; the predominately Black southeastern region of Liberia is dominated by the African Liberian Communist Party (ALCP) and other Black majority parties. Liberia has almost always voted for the ALCP in every major election and most of their leaders and official are members of the ALCP. The some can be said for the Indigenous autonomous zones, which primarily vote for the American Indigenous Socialist Federative Foundation (AISFF). In recent elections, the CPA has waned to ALCP and the Progress—Democrats (P-D) who have made gains but have not unseat the CPA.

The American Mode of Production

The National American Labor Union (ALU), which is one of several labor organizations, collaborates with state planners in the Communist Party of America (CPA) on union activities. The ALU provides and maintains the commons, which include medical services, water, sanitation, and electrical services. The people of America have collective ownership of the commons, and American workers develop and produce them. These workers ship goods to export centers, receiving payment in U.S. dollars, and to the central distribution center, which in turn sends goods through primary, secondary, and tertiary nodes. The CPA, in consultation with national unions, local factories, and economic planners, designs the “Guidebook on Socialist Self-Management.” The CPA also requests quarterly reports on economic productivity from a workers’ representative in America. These workers self-manage according to the guidebook and appoint ward representatives to their respective ward chapters, which coordinate with local factories. The ward chapters elect city or state representatives to the state chapter, which coordinates and organizes several wards. The state chapters elect national representatives to the ALU. The people of America participate in communities of goods, which consist of congregations such as the Jacobites, Millerites, etc.
