Sounds solid, and it looks like this would mean no communist governments in the world period. Considering the short-lived communist regimes (Bavaria, Finland) gained a foothold only because of Soviet backing. Or "morale" in a sense, as in if the Russians could install a communist government we can too. Even if they could arise I don't see a way they would last long. So in short, a very different future for Russia, China, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and many others.
