Yes, but a strong Germany would have been a check on the Bolshevik expansion, if even it had gone permanently Bolshevik under these circumstances.

As the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk showed, the Germans were prepared to parlay with the Bolsheviks. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest they actually funded Lenin's activities (there is a deficit in the accounts of his party which can only be explained by financial assistance from Germany).

If the Germans were prepared to support the Whites, then it might be a different matter, but that is not altogether clear.
