Would it be possible for at some point in the Cold War for the power bloc led by the USA to include a communist state? There's examples of communist countries like Yugoslavia and China that broke from the USSR led power bloc, but didn't join the West instead. I was thinking something like communists peacefully taking power in France and choosing to remain in NATO, or the USA backing Reds in some 3rd world country. Or is a knee-jerk reaction against the communists too ingrained in the culture of the Cold War for it too work out at all?
