What role did the United States government and major corporations have in controlling dissent and protest starting in the late 1940s? I very rarely downvote answers, and didn't this time. The process of refining an answer until it is complete is valid; your response was always responding to the post-war consensus issue even it it wasn't clearly voiced! |

What role did the United States government and major corporations have in controlling dissent and protest starting in the late 1940s? apologies, I missed your arguing your answer's position in the question ("The "post war consensus" lasted through the 1950s… and into the 1960s"), which I think that answerers should do when they feel the question itself is limited. Thanks for drawing my attention to that. |

What role did the United States government and major corporations have in controlling dissent and protest starting in the late 1940s? @DVK yes, and, in the context of the 1940s, after the repatriation protests were dealt with, the issue of whose blood should be shed did remarkably centre on the issue of control of the Trade Union movement. The image's context of 1947 the subversives on the table were in the AFL and CIO. So while Fitzpatrick is almost certainly referencing that American idiom, the context is the post-war settlement over labour. |

What role did the United States government and major corporations have in controlling dissent and protest starting in the late 1940s? The chief problem with this answer is that McCarthy's actions turned on 1949—on the development of a non-US bomb. This answer would be adequate for a question regarding dissent in the 1950s. |

Can we classify holocaust as Hitler's war time strategic mistake? Given that this question assumes intentionalism, have you looked at other questions about intentionalism and functionalism. "The prior question" is: did Hitler take the decision to annihilate the Jews from the face of the earth? Much contemporary scholarship suggests most of the German State, political and economic Elite, and Armed forces also made the same decision at the same time and often with an independent scope of action and responsibility. |

Does Japan have the right to have its own army or navy? Art.9: "Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. (2) To accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized." Either sovereignty can self-limit, in which case I've provided an answer, or sovereignty can't self-limit, in which case by referring to the JSSDF: an answer. |

Pre-1950s views of West European Socialist parties on the welfare state I have no idea. This is a pretty good question about change within reformism / social democracy. One place might be Leszek Kołakowski's Main Currents of Marxism? At least at the ideological rather than the material level. |

What scholarly positions exist evaluating Thatcher's competence and the desirability of her government's policies? Chomsky lacks adequate disciplinary training in historiography, and I doubt his capacity to engage in scholarly political science. Outside of linguistics he is best viewed as a pop-intellectual, especially if you broadly agree with the politics he espouses: Own worst advocate. Klein is fairly poppy, but she specifically does it for a living, and she has a steady publication record. Klein yeah, Chomsky nah. |

Why were the Prague Spring leaders treated more leniently than Nagy and his colleagues? Given that Mikoyan was on the ground in Budapest and directly reporting to the PC as a full member, your supposition regarding the PC's knowledge of the Hungarian situation being incorrect is unsustainable. See Granville's work in Soviet archives. |

Was a technological advantage more effective in European warfare than in China's history? To expand on jwenting's answer, the ability of a society to produce an armed mass is a military technology. Military technology changed between the Franco-Prussian war and World War I in the massification of conscripted infantry and the rapid training of conscripted soldiers in specialist arms. |
