PC: Communist Afghanistan even after Soviet collapse

Is this plausible? Thinking of doing something with this idea. To make it easier, you can make the Soviets collapse whenever you want, just make sure it is before 1991.
 
See my post at https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/najubullahs-regime-survives-pod-after-1989.390824/ on having Najibullah's regime survive, even with a post-1989 POD. (Admittedly, that's not quite the same thing as having a "Communist" Afghanistan survive, since Najiubullah changed the name of the nation from the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan to the Republic of Afghanistan,changed the name of the ruling party from the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan to the Homeland Party, and abandoned its Marxist ideology. But to have Najibullah--or any other leader--not only survive but lead an avowedly Marxist-Leninist Afghanistan IMO you would have to have the USSR survive, and survive as a Communist country.)
