Obviously it was a rough sketch of a worldline.
Instead of blatantly attacking, maybe you can explain how the USSR and Communists could not exist in a world where the early US forbid slavery?
Was Karl Marx the child of a rich slave holder? Did the October Revolution feature a number of Irish immigrants that instead went to the US? How does an alternate US change the world so very much that European history cannot allow a similar track? Or maybe, and this is a wild guess, Marx had little to no connection to the US and would have been born and followed a close parallel to his Homeline self? An alternate USSR is entirely possible as well, maybe with slightly different players (no Stalin, or a different homicidal megalomaniac in charge), but basically the same stance - communistic, authoritarian and a challenge to the capitalistic, liberal West.
Your posts might get more respect, and readership, if you did not tie them up with personal attacks. None of us here are professionals, this is just fun.
