Communist USA (Bernie Scenario)

The Union of American Socialist States was a federal socialist state in North America that existed between 2022 and 2103. Nominally a union of multiple national Soviet states, it was a one-party regime governed by the Democratic Socialist Party with Washington as its capital. It was the fourth largest country in the world in terms of territory, and the third largest in terms of population.

Campaign
The 2020 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. It was a contest between incumbent Republican President Donald J. Trump, and Democratic Party nominee Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders campaigned on neo-Socialist ideas, which included a Single-Payer healthcare system, a $15 per hour minimum wage, and the Green New Deal climate change plan. Trump campaigned on traditional conservative American values.

Results
In a close race, Sanders ended up beating Trump, winning 290 electoral votes. Trump won 248 electoral votes. Sanders also won 49.1% of the popular vote, while Trump won 47.5%. This was the last Democratic election to be held in the United States until the Presidential Election of 2104.

President Bernie Sanders (2021-22)
Sanders was sworn into office on January 20, 2021. In his inauguration speech, he talked about giving rights back to the American worker from the evil corporations.

Domestic Policies
Sanders first objective was to deal with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. His administration was able to use the pandemic as an excuse to expand the Federal government to immesurable lengths. Sanders signed an executive order to bring into law the "Medicare for All" Single-Payer healthcare system, he gave orders to State Governors and Local Officials to install cameras at every city corner, and he raised Middle Class and Higher-Income tax levels from 65%-80%. In his first year, Sanders also began working on passing the Green New Deal legislation that was estimated to cost roughly 30 trillion dollars.

Foreign Policy
At the same time, Sanders pursued a protectionist foreign policy, distancing America from Europe and NATO, while maintaining friendly terms with Chinese leader Xi Jing Ping. Sanders instituted tarriffs on all foreign imports from Europe, calling it the "source of capitalist evil". Sanders had also supported Palestine in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, being the first President to do so since the formation of the modern Israeli state.

Political Reforms
Sanders used the ongoing crises of Covid-19 and Racial protests to pack the supreme court with Left-leaning judges, and slowly take control of both branches of Congress. Sanders replaced top military experts with Socialist sympathizers. By March 2022, Sanders replaced Senate Majority Leader, Speaker of the House, Secretary of Defense, his Ministers, as well as many top Generals with Leftist figureheads.

April Revolution of 2022
By early 2022, the United States was recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, both social and economic. The social unrest from the Black Lives Matter protests was also coming to an end. For this reason, Sanders remained popular with the general American public.

Preparation
In early March, Sanders began planning for a military takeover of the United States Congress, which although under Democratic control, was still largely controlled by Capitalist conservatives. Sanders organized the Committee of American Socialists, a group of advisors that included Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Secretary of Defense Wesley Clark, and Washington D.C Mayor Muriel Bowser, as well as many others.

The Revolution
Over the course of April, as many as 50,000 ”Anti-Progressive” Americans were sent to prison or killed by Sanders supporters. On April 25th, Sanders gave a speech at a rally in Washington D.C, urging his supporters to join the upcoming military parade headed for the United States Capitol. The military, along with thousands of protesters, rushed into the Capitol building. They threatened conservative Senators And Congressman and scared them out of the building. This military coup was titled the “Great April Revolution” by Sanders.

Sanders proclaimed himself General Secretary of the Union of American Socialist States. The same week, the Leftist-packed Supreme Court almost unanimously approved of the military coup, declaring it constitutional. Sanders has solidified himself as dictator of the UASS.

White House Killings
Bernie Sanders was inaugurated as the General Secretary of the Union of American Socialist States on April 27th, 2022. A new American constitution was drafted and accepted by both houses of Congress on April 29th. General Secretary Sanders proceeded to execute all “anti-progressive” members of government. This resulted in the White House Killings, that have caused the deaths of 517 people.

Established Ministries
Sanders first priority upon taking control was to secure his power with the common man. Although Sanders approval rating prior to the Revolution was 59%, it had dropped to 44% following the April 25th events. In order to raise his public support, Sanders proposed the development of two new ministries on April 30th: the Ministry of Socialist Information and the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought.

The Ministry of Socialist Information was created in order to spread propaganda regarding the Leftist Sanders government. It was responsible for cancelling and erasing classical media, and replacing it with government-sponsored public channels focused on spreading Socialist propaganda. The Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought aimed at finding citizens with Conservative American Ideals and sending them to Socialist worker camps, or executing them. Over the course of the next year, The Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought had sent over 400,000 Americans to worker camps, and executed as many as 120,000 Americans.

Sanders-Warren Pelosi Manifesto
In May of 2022, Sanders worked together with Senate Majority Leader Elizabeth Warren and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to craft the Sanders-Warren-Pelosi Manifesto, an important document stating the principles of the UASS. The manifesto promised to always protect the rights of the working man and to eliminate income inequality. The same month, Sanders executed as many as 40,000 military soldiers and generals in order to achieve a better grip at the American military.

For the remainder of the year, Sanders worked on developing the Sanders Economics Policy, an economics policy aimed at collectivizing wealth from the upper class, or the “top 1 percent” and giving it to the poor through various social programs, such as Universal Food Stamps and Universal College Tuition.

Anti-Socialist Protests
Despite Sanders efforts to prevent an uprising, as early as May protests started emerging next to the Washington White House, demanding a return to Capitalist America. At first, Sanders’ Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought was able to take care of the protesters by imprisoning them. However, by August 2022, the demonstrations, led by former President Donald J. Trump, got out of hand. Trump demanded an election to be held in 2022, and that the General Secretariat be replaced with a presidency.

August 18th Incident
By August, over 3 million people were rallying by the White House and Congress combined. On August 11th, the situation started getting out of control as civilians began attacking White House guards. Sanders came out to speak with the people on August 12th, however, was met with boos. Left with no other option, Sanders had to send the troops in.

The military arrived to meet the protesters on August 13th. There was a stalemate until fighting broke out on August 18th, following a shot fired at a military personnel. The fighting resulted in the Great Lafayette Square Massacre. Between August 18th and August 20th, 214 American civilians and 27 guards were killed. Donald J. Trump referred to the 214 deaths as the “200 Holy Americans.”

Trump Proclaims Secession
Fallout from the Lafayette Square Massacre was massive. The news of the events spread all over the country and many governors and politicians denounced the actions of Sanders. On August 23rd, 2022, Donald Trump proclaimed the Sanders regime to be an “evil, corrupt, communist atrocity” and urged states to secede from the United States union. By 27th August, the governors of 22 states have pledged their allegiance to Trump in seceding from the Union.

The Second American Civil War unofficially began on September 1st, 2022, when fighting broke out in Columbus, Ohio between Trump and Sanders supporters. On September 2nd 2022, Donald Trump, backed by the governors of many states, formally declared the Capitalist American States seceding from the Union, and declared himself the President of the new country. The same day, he declared war on the UASS.

First Year
Over the course of the next year, fighting continued along three major state lines: Colorado-Nevada-Oregon-Washington, the Midwest, and Virginia. While the Democratic Socialists had more of the equipment, troops, and population on their side, the Capitalists had more experienced generals as well as support from most of the major Western Powers. Communist China and Russia sided with Sanders, and gave the Democratic Socialists enormous equipment and manpower reinforcements. During this first year, the war was mostly a stalemate and 325,000 Americans died in combat from both sides combined.

Second Year
However, by next September, following the successful Battle of Virginia Beach, the Capitalists were able to push the Democratic Socialists through mid-Virginia. The Democratic Socialists got a major victory at the Battle of Richmond on October 27th, 2023. As the Capitalists were marching through Virginia, they were stopped by a Socialist offensive in Richmond. Sanders instructed his army to hide in old Richmond castles and use a combination of front assault and guerrilla tactics against the Capitalists. The battle lasted for 11 days and resulted in 65,000 Capitalist deaths alone (and 32,000 Socialist deaths), however, the Democratic Socialists were able to push the Capitalists out of Virginia and started pushing in through the East.

Third Year - Trump Flees the Capitalist States
By February 2024, despite European reinforcements, the entire Eastern United States had fallen to the Democratic Socialists and by April 2024, Sanders army was quickly approaching the Capitalist Capital of Houston, despite the fact that none of his strategic offensives on the West had succeeded. On April 28th 2024, realizing that defeat was in sight, Trump fled the Houston white house on his private plane, dodging the Socialist-controlled airspace and arriving in the United Kingdom where he was provided asylum. His Vice President Mike Pence assumed the Presidency of the Capitalist American States.

In fear of defeat, Pence launched a last-second assault against the Socialists. This resulted in the bloody Battle of Beaumont, where Pence’s army launched a surprise amphibian attack to approach the Texan city of Beaumont, occupied by the Democratic Socialists. Over 115,000 Americans were killed in the span of just 6 days, however, the Capitalists were unable to find a victory. After this defeat, the Capitalist army was never again able to recover as the Democratic Socialist army plunged through Texas onto Houston.

Sanders Heart Attack
While the Second American Civil War and the Battle of Beaumont were still raging on, General Secretary Sanders was in the War Room theorizing strategies with his Generals. Years of war have taken a toll on the 82-year-old man. On May 3rd 2024, while in the War Room, Sanders suffered a heart attack and was immediately taken to the White House emergency room. Despite the doctors best efforts to save him, Bernie Sanders passed away in his sleep on May 4th, 2024.

Funeral and Ceremony
The same day the White House guards were instructed to conduct a grand ceremony on the passing of the Revolutionary leader. Despite the ongoing war, millions of people from all over the UASS came to view the ceremony. As balloons floated into the sky, the White House guards carried out Sanders coffin and set it on the ground in the Middle of the crowd with the words written on it “To the Greatest American Revolutionary Leader, a Leader for the Modern Times.”

Political Turmoil of 2024
The 2022 Constitution decided that an election for General Secretary was to be held on the first Tuesday of November 2024, and every four years after that. However after Sanders passed away on May 4th, 2024, it was uncertain what procedure should take place and who should be his successor for the position of General Secretary.

Candidate Elizabeth Warren
A prime candidate was Senate Majority Leader Elizabeth Warren. She was a faithful Sanders ally throughout the formation of the UASS, especially famous in the Union for her drafting of the Sanders-Warren-Pelosi Manifesto in 2022. Moreover, Sanders’ will indicated that had the unfortunate scenario of his death occurred, he wished for Warren to succeed him as General Secretary.

Candidate Bill De Blasio
However, many of the Democratic Socialist Party members threw their support behind a new star within the Party, Mayor of New York City Bill De Blasio, the mayor of the largest city in the UASS. De Blasio was much more radically left than Warren, who was considered more of a moderate candidate. De Blasio advocated for the complete eradication of a free market, a complete collectivization of the wealth of the top 1 percent and their subsequent imprisonment, and the complete elimination of the stock market.

May 6th Senate Vote
It was decided by the Soviet that the decision for the next General Secretary would be held by the Senate on May 6th, while in the meantime, Warren would serve as the acting General Secretary. Warren used her influence as acting General Secretary to quickly appoint, replace, and pressure Senators for the May 6th vote in order to ensure an easy victory. At the Senate vote, Warren received 53 votes, while De Blasio received only 34 votes, with 13 votes being cast for minor candidates such as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Despite cries of De Blasio supporters of a rigged vote, on May 7th Elizabeth Warren proceeded to be inaugurated as Second General Secretary of the UASS.

Treaty of Lexington and the End of Civil War
Upon her inauguration as General Secretary on May 7th, Elizabeth Warren immediately got to work. It appeared as if the Civil War had been coming to an end as Democratic Socialist troops were quickly moving through Texas to reach the Capitalist capital of Houston. On May 9th, the Battle of Houston began when the Democratic Socialist army attacked the city. Despite Pence’s extensive defensive preparations by May 12th the city fell to the Democratic Socialists.

On May 13th, Warren and Pence met in Lexington, Kentucky and signed the Treaty of Lexington where the Capitalist American States surrendered their land to the Socialists, thus ending the Second American Civil War. The war resulted in the deaths of 875,000 Americans and caused countless of trillions of dollars in damage.

The Warren Recovery Plan
In order to bring the UASS economy back in order, Warren devised the Recovery Plan of 2024, more commonly known as the Warren Plan. This plan consisted of five steps and was meant to recover the UASS economy by the end of 2026. The plan consisted of the following stages:


 * 1) Fully reintegrate all of the states that had previously left the union.
 * 2) Cut spending on the army and secret service, and dismantle the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought.
 * 3) Increase Federal Spending on Infrastructure Projects in the areas hurt by the war.
 * 4) Pass an Executive Order granting full Public Housing benefits to all citizens.
 * 5) Pass an Executive Order granting 30% higher SNAPS food stamps to all citizens.

State Integration and Redstar Opposition
Although the plan received great support from the moderate wing of the Party, it also attracted great criticism from De Blasio and his supporters (unofficially known as the Redstars). They were especially critical of the second Point on the plan, claiming that recovery from war could not occur if the Party limited its monitoring of the actions of its civilians. De Blasio believed there should be greater funding directed towards the Secret Service and the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought.

By October 2024, all states were fully reintegrated back into the union with the exception of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Despite the arguments of the Redstars, Warren decided to allow Mike Pence leave the country alive to seek asylum in the United Kingdom. While Warren had a majority in both branches of Congress, Redstars in the Senate successfully used the Filibuster to block her dismantlement of the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought. Redstar supporters were also limiting Warren’s negotiating ability with the remaining Southern states.

Vote Rigging
On 5th November 2024, the 2024 Congress elections were held. Warren saw this as an opportunity to expand her majority in the Senate in order to be able to bypass De Blasio filibustering. Her team used extensive ballot rigging and vote buying to try to ensure a Warren victory. Warren also allowed for the 2024 General Secretary Election to be held, but she banned De Blasio and many other Redstars from participating on the ballot, citing that they did not have the necessary Congressional experience to be General Secretary.

Results
However, despite these efforts, 2024 saw an unprecedented turnout for Bill De Blasio voters and (despite easily winning the General Secretary race with 538 electoral votes) Warren lost 4 more seats to the Redstars in the Senate and 14 seats in the House of Representatives.. Although Warren considered discrediting the election results and maintaining her current congressional position, she was advised against it by senior members of her cabinet.

By the end of 2024, Warren had succeeded in bringing Tennessee back into the Union and in starting the implementation of most of the objectives of the Recovery Plan, however, the economy was still very poor.

Proposed Compromised Plan
When the new congress was inaugurated on January 20th, 2025, Warren criticized the newly-elected Redstars as “corrupt anti-American dirty politicians.” By March, the Warren administration developed a compromise plan with some of the Redstars asking to cut spending on military and secret service operations in exchange for a limited collectivization program. The vote was looking to be held on March 26th, 2025. However on March 23rd, New York Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Oklahoma Representative Jacob Rosecrants, both famous Redstar speakers, gave a combined speech in support of Bill De Blasio’s denouncement of the compromise. On March 26th, there was just enough Redstars in the Senate for Redstar Senate leader Timothy J. Smith to fillibuster the vote.

Anti-Warren Redstar Opposition
Despite being dissapointed, Warren’s team didn’t give up in trying to find a compromise with the Redstars. Although by May, the economy was showing early stages of recovery the Warren administration was running out of money. To get more funding for her Recovery Plan and in fear of raising progressive income taxes (not to anger the newly-joined capitalist states), Warren decided to cut spending on boarder protection via executive action. This action was met with uproar from Redstar politicians, with De Blasio even calling for “a third civil war”, although a civil war never even came close to fruition.

Economic Revocery
By late June, unemployment levels were done to pre civil war levels and the American GDP growth was finally above 2%. However, Warren’s approval ratings were hovering at only around 48%. De Blasio called on the Warren administration to print 10 trillion dollars and hand it out to especially poor workers “to level out the economic playing field” however, following the advice of her closest economic experts, Warren refused to do so.

Warren Attends Perry's Dinner
On July 17th, Warren attended an invitation to a dinner with Redstar Senator Joe Perry. The dinner was attended by various politicians from both Moderate and Redstar wings of the Democratic Socialist Party. Despite Warren wanting to use the dinner as an opportunity to seek a compromise with Redstar politicians. However, at about 7:45 PM, Warren started feeling incredibly sick and asked to be driven home to the White House.

The Poisoning of Elizabeth Warren
Upon arrival to the White House, Warren’s condition got even worse and a doctor was sent out to her. After brief inspection, White House doctor John J. Murphy concluded that Warren got poisoned with cyanide at the dinner at Perry’s house. Doctors and surgeons arrived from all over the capital in efforts to keep Warren alive. However, after days of struggle, Elizabeth Warren passed away on July 20th, 2025. Her last words were said to have been “I have lived to fight for those the poorest and for those who struggle the most. Even in my death I shall continue that fight.”

Although it is unclear exactly who was behind the poisoning of Warren, many historians cite that it was some redstar politician present at the dinner following the orders of T.J Donovan, Bill De Blasio’s personal lawyer. To this day it is unclear whether Senator Joe Perry was aware of the historical poisoning that would take place in his dining room.

2025 Redstar Military Coup
While Elizabeth Warren was horribly sick in the White House Apartments, Bill De Blasio, accompanied by T.J Donovan and a number of senior military officials, walked into the White House building and forcefully took control of the President’s office. When finding out about Warren’s death on July 20th, 2025, De Blasio aired a program on all televisions proclaiming himself to have become the third General Secretary of the UASS and making a list of promises to the American people.

The De Blasio Cabinet
De Blasio’s first action as General Secretary was replacing Warren’s old cabinet ministers with people closer to him. He appointed Michael Moran as Secretary of State, Jacob Rosecrants as Secretary of the Treasury, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as Secretary of Energy, and most importantly T.J Donovan as Head of the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought.

Soon after taking office, rumor spread that Elizabeth Warren had actually preferred Andrew Yang to succeed her as General Secretary. Protests of Warren supporters emerged on the streets asking De Blasio to step down or at least to call a Senate vote on General Secretary, similar to the one that happened the previous year. Knowing that such a vote would not pass in the Senate, still largely dominated by Moderates, De Blasio resorted to suppressing the protests by force.

American Night of Long Knives
Understanding the need to attain control of the Senate and House of Representatives, De Blasio worked together with Donovan to create a forceful resolution resulting in The American Night of Long Knives. On the night of the 30th July 2025, Redstar members of the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought showed up to politicians homes, and killed over 120 moderate Senators and Congressman, which included Warren’s preferred successor Andrew Yang. De Blasio and Donovan then proceeded to replace them with Redstar politicians.

The Great Collectivization Plan
Although De Blasio didn’t start out very popular (averaging at around 44% in approval ratings), his popularity soon rose as the American economy finally began recovering to pre civil war levels. By the end of 2025, unemployment levels were down to 4% and the American GDP was rising steadily. Although De Blasio and other Redstars attributed these economic achievements to De Blasio’s leadership, modern economists suggest it was likely due to the fallout of the Warren Plan. Regardless, by January 2026, De Blasio’s approval ratings were averaging at 55%, as Americans finally felt a sense of stability under a strong leader.

Over the course of 2026 as the American economy continued to grow, De Blasio started scraping aspects of the Warren Plan to implement his own more hardline-progressive policies. He dedicated the United States to full Green Energy emissions and imprisoned many oil tycoons. The redstars did choose to hold congressional elections in 2026 but refused to let any moderate candidates participate, therefore increasing Redstar dominance of Federal government. De Blasio completed the full Socialization of medicine. By the end of 2026, De Blasio started his infamous Great Collectivization Plan where members of the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought came to rich American families homes and proceeded to collectivize their wealth and assets for the Federal Government, often imprisoning or assassinating members of the family. In all, the Great Collectivization Plan resulted in over 52,000 American deaths.

Start of the First Four-Year Plan (2026-27)
By 2027, De Blasio had achieved full control of the American government and could now begin with his First Four-Year Plan. The years of the First Four-Year Plan are generally referred to as Years of Socialist Growth and Hope, a phrase that developed out of the Plan’s slogan “For Democratic Socialist Hope and Growth”. After 7 years of economic, political, and social instability, in 2027 the UASS finally began seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Drafting of the Plan
The plan was originally drafted on December 12th, 2026 following a White House meeting between General Secretary Bill De Blasio, Head of the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought T.J Donovan, and Attorney General Andru Volinsky. The plan intended to achieve full social stability and achieve an annual GDP growth of 5%. The plan consisted of several steps:


 * 1) Bring the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, and Louisiana back into the union.
 * 2) Execute a mass installation of cameras and other spying devices to track any anti-progressive thought that might contribute to political instability.
 * 3) Execute a second collectivization plan to collectivize wealth from the top 5% and invest that wealth into infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other government-sponsored initiatives.
 * 4) Develop the UASS technological research and development center in the army.
 * 5) Sign a trade union agreement with friendly governments such as Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela, while installing greater protectionist actions against capitalist threats.
 * 6) Execute a Cult of Personality to increase the political stability of Bill De Blasio and his allies.

The plan was passed both chambers of Congress by December 17th, 2026 and was scheduled to start on January 1st, 2027.

Early Years of Socialist Growth and Hope (2027-29)
The First Four-Year Plan was an enormous success. By the end of 2027, Bill De Blasio had come near to completing his collectivization plan. Although many billionaires such as Mark Zuckerberg had attempted to escape to Europe, most of them were stopped at the airports, arrested, and subsequently executed. Their businesses and wealth would be collectivized for the benefit of the state. De Blasio himself grew extraordinarily wealthy from the collectivization project, purchasing himself mansions all over the country and being (unofficially) listed as one of the most wealthy people in the world by a British news source.

In February 2028, De Blasio had come back from Havana announcing that he had signed the Democratic Socialist Trading Partnership Agreement (DSTPA) establishing a free trade zone between the UASS, Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Cuba. This helped De Blasio relief American reliance on goods from the Capitalist European nations. De Blasio’s other great achievement in the early months of 2028 was fully integrating the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, and South Carolina back into the UASS.

T.J Donovan also had succeeded in establishing a Cult of Personality for Bill De Blasio by mid-2028, with De Blasio’s approval ratings increasing from 48% in 2027 to 61% by mid-2028 (although it is unclear to what extent these figures are reliable). Donovan’s people aired numerous year-round television and radio shows aiming to promote the Cult of Bill De Blasio, granting him full credit for the economic and social achievements of the nation.

Parallel to all of this, the Ministry of Anti-Progressive Thought worked together with Chinese Dictator Xi Jin Ping to establish a surveillance system in the UASS helping “rid the nation of evil Capitalists.” It is estimated that by 2029, from 2000-5000 celebrities suspected of Anti-Progressive Thought were taken out of their homes and executed.

Meanwhile, the UASS economy was doing well. According to the De Blasio Administration’s inner sources, GDP growth was 5.4% in 2027 until it hit a record high of 6.8% in the second quartile of 2028, before decreasing to 5.7% by the end of the year, and decreasing to 5.3% in the first quartile of 2029. Overall, the nation drew a breath of fresh air as it was more hopeful than ever before heading into the 2030’s. Since 2020, life has been nothing but social, political, and economic turmoil and war, and the country was finally feeling a sense of stability under a strong authoritarian leader.

Later Years of Socialist Growth and Hope (2029-31)
By the end of 2029, Louisiana was brought back into the union, leaving only the state of Alabama independent from the UASS, with its leading voice former Senator Tommy Tuberville being extremely resistant to unifying with the UASS.
