We're not talking theoretical utopian timeline, we're talking about how things work in reality. Thinking that the wall is going to come down and everyone's going to jerk each other off and dance naked in the streets, was naive and silly.
One side stopped fighting a war, and the other side didn't, while we welcomed the enemy with open arms as they plotted against us. And appear to be winning.
That's based on the idea that for some reason the leftists wouldn't have prospered in the West with the USSR present. They already controlled academia before the USSR collapsed, and that's how they started controlling/perverting our elites.
Yes.
You can argue about how the followup was handled, but the world is a better place for having lost the Soviet Union.

That doesn't mean the world would be a better place if the Soviet Union had survived.
It doesn't. It's merely a question, because everyone always assumes the answer.

I was referring to communists, not Russians.
it'd be worse if the commies still had a giant superpower state to back them
well they have china but I'm not sure about their long term viability and either way it'd be worse if the soviet union was still around
