The Stem of the alternative empire, possible origins

I am proposing that after WWII the soviet (kill the conscripts that wont fight) or Nazis (kill everyone because they dont conform to our ideals) parties won and eventually dominated civilisation to produce the dark mirror universe with these storylines.

Please remember Gene Rodenberry was probably thinking this when he first conceived of these episode due to his chronological proximity to WWII.

Yes it could have been a capitalist empire.... but your are forgetting one little detail. Thats how the canonical ST universe grew.
