Communist or Fascism can rise under different name and in different location. That Communists took power in Russia in 1917 was a surprise - the Communists were very strong in Western Europe while in Russia they were a tiny sect. The only reasons why they had luck were the following:
1. Last tsar was very gentle man and allowed his most vicious enemies like Lenin to survive and go into exile. (Brits and others had no such scruples).
2. Russia was weakened by the bloody war and Western "allies" were pushing Russians to accept weak democratic government which was no capable to rule and demanded continuation of military effort.
3. Germans financed and help Bolsheviks to return and stage a coup (called later a Revolution).
4. Western "allies" imposed so stringent requirements and sanctions on Russians fighting against Communists that the later won the civil war.
And you know the rest of the story.
Next times the Brown or Red menace will take another country, probably under the guise of Political Correctness.
Nice summary, thank you.

A distinct possibility. The USA Left would very much prefer that, post haste.
