I think communism is both "horrible" and "it just didn't work."
TTL Soviet Russia lost the war, became effectively a slave state/puppet of Nazism, collapsed into Somalia-style warlordism once Molotov's powerbase was gone, and relies on outside charity to barely function.
Definitely not a nation could inspire anything in the average anticolonial guerilla fighter besides pity and contempt.
By the way
@CalBear ,whatever happened to poor Molotov after he was effectively trapped in Switzerland?
Obviously.
But again, you don't need a chemical imbalance in your brain to be an evil person.
It certainly helps though.
