Alternate Historical Outcomes Gaming

In this video I introduce you to one of my favourite pastimes: Alternate History hypothesis. In constructing narratives of roads not taken; I assume the Rothbardían derived premise that all military, political, business and legal strategy decisions constitute gambles. I also assume the Leninist concept of the essence of the State as being "bodies of armed men". Finally, I assume the proposition made by Benito Mussolini that power is the subordination of the will of one man (or State) to that of another by means of calculated application of force.
