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.
China is a communist country. They use a state capitalism model inside communism within a capitals multi-national framework. Their state capitalism is a farce, and is temporary until they leverage enough power to demand other countries do things their way. Which is happening every day.
A strong United State, which it would have been with another 4 years of Trump or at least headed in that direction would defeat China handily. However, not when the people who are now running the country are selling us out to China to skim a few dollars off the top.

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
