The more I read about the various reverse Cold War scenarios, with a communist US and a capitalist Russia, I find myself wondering how nations that went in the opposite direction would differ from OTL. I haven’t seen very detailed, in-depth or extensive overviews of the hypothetical economies, cultures, and other societal aspects of, say, capitalist China or communist Mexico.

So, if anyone’s willing to provide a thorough write-up on the nations that’d exist in a reverse Cold War scenario, please do so.

Thank you all in advance,

EDIT: I know that there are many reverse Cold War threads on here, but I’m not sure about their plausibility. To me, most of them seem to mirror OTL way too much. For instance, I don’t think that Western communism would be as totalitarian, and Eastern capitalism might be more associated with imperialism and expansionism. I’m aware that no one has suggested this yet, but for others who decide to reply, I just want to put it out there ahead of time.
