We would be back at square one, as if the Russian Revolution had never happened.

No. We would be worse. Because their revolution informed the capitalists of the gravity of the threat communism poses to them. They knew it of course already, in a way, but there is a difference between knowing in theory and seeing in reality. They got to see just how close they were to destruction.

Neoliberalism and Globalism are post-ussr reactions. "How can we make sure this NEVER happens again? Or at least make it significantly harder." -- Distributing the modes of production globally has forced communist nations into market participation in order to match development and not be crushed. This alone was a huge set-back and even among communists is a point of contention that many do not understand, we no longer live in the same world the soviets lived in, soviet socialism can not work because of this change in the construction of society.

Things would be far more bleak.
