QAnon is literally not going to be a thing considering it's intrinsically linked into very recent events in the USA and the exact structure of parts of the internet.

Where it's mentioned. I remember there being something about modern China and the *Olympics, but I might be misremembering.
That doesn't neccecaryily mean that the Feng are going to fall. It could mean that they end up becoming a constitutional monarchy.
Really, “Chinese Federation” doesn’t say much beyond that TTL’s present-day China has something resembling a federal system.
So this source is from 2001 while the previous is from the '70s. So perhaps Empire is the colloquial term, or there was a reactionary shift from Federation to Empire? It would also appear that the Soviet changes into a Confederation.
Recently, I have been under the impression that the Imperial Soviet will usurp all power in the Empire and after the Soviet regimes's fall, Russia will become the Confederation.
I think that Russia's history is starting to come together. The Imperial Soviet (What is that? A super important government committee?) coups the czar and makes him a puppet after Moscow and St. Petersburg are nuked by the Societists in the Sunrise War. It rules from Novgorod and governs Russia as an oligarchy until it is finally overthrown sometime in the 90s in a popular revolution.
That’s a long story, and you’ll have to read the TL to understand that.
I envy you. You're about to embark on a great journey. Just be careful not to binge read it too much
If you prefer, there's also a definitive version without all the commentary. Just search for it on Google.

That covers through Part 4. Not sure beyond that...
I was originally just going to read Part 7, this is pretty much the exact reason I decided to read everything from the beginning lmao
While you really should at least skim the whole thing for context, at its most laconic Societism is a class/race-collaborationist ideology that believes the only way to eliminate war is to absorb the entire human race and eradicate all cultural distinctions.
This is a truly magnificent TL that I have now (finally) finished reading through.
I have a lot of things I think but ill settle on two points.

- I am somewhat irrationally furious that Russia did so well on almost all fronts in the pandoric war. Though not really out of partisan ship for that bizarre Wettin-led abortion of a german empire. But its yet another mark of quality of the TL im so angry.
- Even before the Biblioteka Mundial got their hands on them, Sanchez's writings seem so divorced from reality and full of unfounded assumptions, more so than Anything else I can think of with the same rigor. Not that that stops it from becoming an influential ideology. I'm sure we can all think of our own examples from OTL. But in many ways, diversitarianism scares me a lot more than original recipe societism.
