DBWI: What is this world map I found?

Maybe the Poles end up taking over Russia, and that fucking behemoth is just Lithuania?OOC: Socialism/communism never exists and is never thought of as an idea, ever. Keep that in mind.
I was scrolling through the internet and found this interesting map, what could this represent?
I think this map is supposed to be the geopolitical alliance of some alternate world. IDK?
The pink implies that this is a world divided between ideologies, one of which is called "socialism". "Communism" also seems related to socialism.
I'm guessing it's like distributionism?

What happened with Central Europe, the Holy Roman Empire somehow was divided into absurd borders (and Prussia somehow conquered Saxony while losing all its exclaves and half of its contiguous territory). And what are those big countries in North America? In the Eastern Seabord alone there are over 10 different states big and extremely small, how cold be that there are only 2 there?
Also, why so much straight lines as borders, that just doesn't makes sense
(OOC: What would be distributionism? because my only idea is some Inca-like system in which the state, which I have a feeling is probably monarchical, distributes the resources and goods to the people)

Maybe, although I have a hunch it is probably something absurdly inept

And how did Gran Colombia break up and Mexico lose Central America and El Norte?
Presumably combined with the revolutionary ideals of the Neo-Jacobins?
OOC: How did Gran Colombia, Mexico or the Jacobins come to even still exist? Since by the time they appeared capitalism, which in part ended up causing communist, already was a thing?

I found some alternate photos, digging deep for anything related. Take a look at this.
This supposedly is the leader of the 'USSR', he is un-named.
Supposedly the Holy Roman Empire in this world was known as "Nazi Germany" with their leader pictured here.
And the map of the nation known as "Nazi Germany", strangely enough they aren't pictured on the map.
OOC: Was thinking that distributism replaced socialism as the main anti-capitalist ideology ITTL.
Probably some form of national fascism with labor given enough to be quite while the oligarchs control everything.. Basically serfdom with out the label.. Only way to explain the blue portion.
OOC: I didn't know what was distributism, to be sincere, but even then, previous comments had made that the TL would have changed before the point in which while Jacobins could technically still exist, Gran Colombia and mexico most certainly would not (a still-existing HRE, in special, and independent Poland and Lithuania, who if separated would mean a POD even earlier than Jacobinism had any chance of appearing)
Well that Nazi Germany thing was clearly defeated- presumably by one of these alliances. Maybe the "communist" one is ideologically similar to this "nazi" system and that's why they hate each other? Though I wonder why so much of the French Empire is pink tinted- them falling to either or being weak enough to give up their power is borderline ASBI found some alternate photos, digging deep for anything related.

Geopolitical interests always trump ideology so an invasion is always on the table, but I meant the "Nazi Germany" and the "Communists" are similar, and that's why that alliance with france, britain and that wanked out American state hates them

Sure seems to be. About China, I found something.
Seems to be some revolutionary propaganda.
OOC: Here's my art critic hat on. Assume that the text in the posters is illegible.
The "USSR" propaganda poster shows the wise leader guiding the masses to a bright future of irrigation canals and skyscrapers, with the masses seeming genuinely happy. This suggests that "socialism" or "communism" advocates bringing happiness to the people through material progress, guided by a wise leader.
It's interesting that the logo of "Nazi Germany" borrows from Hindu/Buddhist symbolism. The crowd behind the leader are doing nothing but following him like drones, intimidating the viewer. Perhaps this "Nazi Germany" is a parodied version of Prussian stereotypes.
The China poster is interesting that the leader's head floats like the sun. In the foreground is a soldier, worker, and peasant (perhaps the three exalted professions under socialism?), with the soldier holding a red book (presumably containing the ideology). In the background are a group of fighters from different racial backgrounds, suggesting either that China has become multiracial or that China positions itself as the leader of "socialism"/"communism".
If I had to guess, the author of this TL has progressive sympathies, hence his over-the-top portrayal of Germany. But he seems to caution the reader from trusting distributionism too much.
