Alt-history is so infested with the right the left has given up with it, why must we be relegated to to the realm of sci-fi? It’s impossible to predict how the past would have went if things had gone different, but what if we predict it anyways? The left doesn’t need a Henry Turtledove, we need a Marx writing a detailed non-fictional thesis about what would have happened if history events had gone differently. We need someone to take a scientific approach towards alt-history, that’s why we need marxist alt-history.

Fire on the Mountain is a 1988 novel by the American author Terry Bisson. It is an alternate history describing the world as it would have been had John Brown succeeded in his raid on Harper's Ferry and touched off a slave rebellion in 1859, as he intended.
