No, that does not happen. Red China is still Red China, Red Vietnam is still Red Vietnam, and Russia has proven that communism did not fall. The USA is the one that has changed to become more like they are.

Red China is still Red China

Another red herring, high on rhetoric, low on facts. It's true that China remains brutal and authoritarian, but it is "Communist" in party name only. Under Mao, there were no privately owned businesses of any kind, not even mom and pop shops. Today, China's private sector accounts for far more of its GDP than its public sector. And when it comes to social services, China is probably more capitalist than we are: if you're sick in China and can't pay up front, guess what? You're not going to the hospital. More people get government subsidized welfare and health care in the US (and certainly in Europe) than in "Red" China.
