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.  |
Saying with 100% certainty that things would be better is of course impossible.
The only thing we can be certain of is that some 110 million people were murdred by their own system of government.
