I disagree that it's a certainty that prolonging WWII, with an invasion of the Soviet Union, would have automatically "saved more lives" than were lost in the past 50 years.
We can all play "what if" games, but I don't think anyone would believe that arm-chair hypotheses are certain predictions of what would have really happened.
Why do you also assume than an extension of WWII would have resulted in the "fall" of Communist China?
I'm just saying that "alternative histories" (of which, by the way, I'm quite a fan) can't be used in any logically grounded argument.
