I wonder how different things would be had there not been the Bolshevik Revolution. The Cold War led to fear of socialism throughout the West that has prevented a lot of progress. For example, I wonder if the US would have socialised healthcare by now or if Trump/Thatcher would've ever been elected. Moreover, I wonder if there would be Communist revolution in industrialised, Western countries and what that would've resulted in.
