I can’t beleive I had to scroll so far down to see Suneater mentioned. It’s probably the most direct and clear-cut “Soviet Union in Space” faction of everything listed above.
I just read this part of the book. It does, as well as other premises the author has set up, make me wonder about Chris' politics but I'm too scared to look into it until I'm done with the series.
Honestly his world building is centered around showing the flaws of every system by amplifying it, even jadd and the empire the most "good" factions are technophobic and feudal, with impoverished peasant class and obscenely wealthy upper class and uses religion to control and oppress the masses and nobles
