I guess Germany would have become a communist country as well. That might have had big impact on Italy and France too, were communism was always strong. With these three countries the industrial power of the communist countries would have been much bigger than from the capitalistic ones. Or maybe the US would have attacked Germany when they saw that they were becoming communist?

How would the world look like today if Stalin would have chosen to go this way?
What if the relation of the electromagnetic force to the gravitational one was just 1% different?
