Communism was spread throughout the world and still exists in places such as China, Cuba and North Korea. It led to the Cold War, and the heightened climate of fear between the West and the Soviet Bloc as well as nuclear proliferation between the sides with the chances of a Third World War being a reality as well as a nuclear holocaust that could wipe out life as we know it on this planet.
The Soviet Union made socialism a viable economic solution that is modeled by many governments in Western Europe and to a degree here in the U.S. with our enormous social-welfare state apparatus. It even led to a third party candidate almost taking the Democratic nomination for president in 2016 (Independent Bernie Sanders). Many people particularly young people flocked to his ideas of social-democracy
