Yeah. That's sad but that was just a fever dream and thought of mine that I couldn't resist saying it here. True, Gaddafi is retired and let our beloved comrade enjoy his life in peace.
Oh, that's gonna cause problems. For the local dictatorships anyway.
Probably depends on how badly Turkey's inevitable pre-emptive strike goes ('merely' being spanked complete with a tacnuke vs Comintern invasion of Turkey after the spanking, all while potentially making Article 5 a dead letter)

Haven't got to the year 84 in your new history book have you Turkey?
Though seriously this level of stupidity is genuinely impressive. I'm kind of in awe.
I can practically hear the *yoink* of NATO grabbing Northern Cyprus and Eastern Thrace (and as much of Marmara as possible) if Turkey ends up doing something that puts them outside Article 5 protection and they get to the 'Find out' part.
So it will like what Serbia did in HSB, except it's catastrophically worse. They thought it will be a good idea to invade a newly inducted Comintern ally (Rojave) while they were busy screwing up ISIL and acts shocked when Comintern goes after them as well by tacnuking their forces and taking over half of the country, which throws Turkey and NATO into a full blown existential crisis. They will probably think that the IRB regiments that the Comintern sent to aid Rojave or go after the Turk army are just UN Peacekeepers but red. They were so grossly miscalculated about that.

Turkey is going to quickly learn if Europe considers them white enough to be worth helping them.
Beyond the use of tactical nuclear weapons in general and Comintern not playing around, the nature of the existential crisis for NATO (or the European component at least*) is going to very much depend on the how of Erdogan FAFO.
Launching an attack outside Article 5 protection (on bigly assurances from Washington?) and with expectations that Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus would, for obvious reasons, support them that promptly (and literally) blows up in their face is probably different to Erdogan claiming alleging the Kurds attacked them and invoking Article 5 to no avail. One is diplomatically/strategically much more fucky wucky than the other.
*Brexit is probably butterflied, in so much that every country in Europe is probably hitting turbo-nationalism once they read about their counterparts in TLM and entering 'hang together or hang separately' mode.

1. Comintern should immediately invade every single Dewey Denied nation not under nuclear protection.
2. The International should discreetly back Donald Trump's presidential campaign in order to create a new Schlafly.
3. The Comintern should construct a massive number of modular ocean platforms, plop them in the middle of international shipping routes and claim them as Comintern waters and bloc unallied ships from passing through.
4. Comintern should immediately claim all of Antarctica and any internationally unclaimed territories in the Dewey Denied World.
5. Create a spec ops groups dedicated specifically to breaking out socialists from prisons across the globe.
6. Create underground cinemas, streaming services and pirating websites that provide all the latest movies, shows and blockbusters for free to bankrupt the capitalist media industries.
7. Assassinate Obama and frame Freedonia for it.
8. Comintern should exploit the fact that so many billionaires want immortality by offering to allow them to be treated in TLM world hospitals in exchange for allowing unionization efforts.
9. Help safeguard Dewey Denied ocean biospheres by sneaking in plastic eating bacteria in large quantities.
10. Declare all dolphins, whales and other cetaceans in both worlds Comintern citizens and use that to threaten the capitalist world into ceasing all whaling activities or else face nuclear annhilation.
A/N: surprised? I said that there would be no reallygoodideas from Ghaddafi but luckily our dear chairman has cultivated a cadre of eccentric delegates to carry the torch, and has also opened the door for regular Comintern citizens from across the globe to participate by creating the "citizen proposal pool" in the commons.

I mean they don't have to.
Yes but this is an idea that should absolutely be banished and not even considered.
Yeah that's such a Gadaffi thing to do.
Utterly logistically infeasible and would lead to the entire DD world disliking us.
Highly likely to backfire.
…. That might work but it would also be logistically difficult and needless provocation.
Why the fuck do you want the ice sheet?
… might actually work. It'd need to be deniable but it could be done.
Actually a good idea and something that should be done immediately.
Likely to backfire tremendously.
… might be feasible.
Also something we should do.
God that'd be such a logistical headache.

Presumably for the same reason as in TLM timeline - to protect its environment from exploitation and climate destruction.
The International should add a statue of Donald Trump next to Schlafy as the next April Fools prank.
Trump's secret weapon against the Comintern? Tariffs
Meanwhile Comintern reaction to Trump, their best US President ever since Schlafy:

9 and 10 have my immediate approval, all others pending review.

If I recall correctly there was a big treaty made because a bunch of nations began claiming parts of Antarctica and getting really pissy about it.
US: Okay, so let's just agree that all Antarctica technically belongs to nobody. Nobody wants to fight over who owns a bunch of icy wasteland anyway.
Argentina: But our land claims are still ours right?
US: Also technically yes.
Argentina: Good enough for me.
Not so based. They'd never follow through.
Now based would be inviting them for treatment and then arresting them and putting them on trial for crimes against the proletariat.
Antarctica isn't an ice sheet like the North Pole, there's land and resources there, like rare minerals.

Time to dust off my old unused plan of mining the antarctic current.
Is it inevitable that there will slow chipping of the UN because there are many UN members (particularly developing countries who experienced Comintern aid and help) who simply decide to leave due to factors such as irrelevance and uselessness in decisively dealing with many issues in contrast to the Comintern?
Like "If the Comintern does better on decisively solving issues than the UN, what is the point of the UN and be there in the first place?"
Like "If the Comintern does better on decisively solving issues than the UN, what is the point of the UN and be there in the first place?"
SHHHHH. You're saying the quiet part out loud.
Yeah its gonna sound preachy since the comintern doesn't know but baaaad idea.

This whole update has left me with the mental image of a PDIS representative team sagging as they walk into the International's headquarters and going: "Alright, we accept it: we're communists."
And the General Assembly bursts into cheers…
This would have been a good oversimplified episode.
