To be fair, most communists systematically attack the premises, conduct and outcomes of soviet-style societies. (This has changed since the 1970s, with the decline of Soviet and Chinese aligned bolshevik communisms, the (relative) rise is prominence of Trotskyist and post-Trotskyist bolshevisms, and the re-emergence of libertarian communisms as a coherent network of thought).

You could get no Korean war with slightly more competent US diplomats and nation builders in the late 1940s in Korea. This would be neutralisation, unification, and a legal CP. Effectively this does mean handing over North Korea to a very likely CP election victory. It might mean a very different complexion of CP depending on the neutralisation agreement.
