* [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue and Orange Ideology]]: A central point of the whole project, according to WordOfGod, is to show how "Communism vs. Capitalism" and economics in general needn't necessarily been the defining ideological issue to risk nuclear war over. In LTTW, the major ideological divide is centered on culture. So it's not just an alternate history, but an alternate ''historiography''.

* [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue and Orange Ideology]]: A central point of the whole project, according to WordOfGod, is to show how "Communism vs. Capitalism" and economics in general needn't necessarily been the defining ideological issue to risk nuclear war over. In LTTW, the major ideological divide is centered on culture.culture: Societists vs. Diversitarianists. Societists desire a OneWorldOrder where all of mankind is unified under a single Earth-spanning nation with a single culture, single language and single religion based on a synthesis of patterns found in cultures all around the world, while stamping out all traces of the previous pre-Societist cultures. Diversitarianists champion diversity (hence the name) in cultures, languages, religious and spiritual customs, and historical viewpoints in the extreme -- some hardcore Russian Diversitarians, for instance, would consider two people from different nationalities who share in a friendship to be ''clinically insane''. So it's not just an alternate history, but an alternate ''historiography''.
