But that has to be a waste right? Great Man Theory, dialectical materialism, blah blah

Germany still would've became fascist because of their overwhelming debt to the victors of WWI. They most certainly still would have started World War II in some way. They almost certainly would've also started genociding the disabled, and probably move on the non-Aryans eventually, or at the very least thrown them all in prisons or some internment zone

    Even if the world didn't go socialist, I still think a German Revolution would have been the deathblow to capitalism.

    The Soviet Union's biggest problem was manufacturing capacity. Once they full industrialized partway through WWII they were more than a match for the Axis. Imagine technology sharing between Germany and the SU and you'd get that power 10 years earlier. German scientists would also be managed efficiently rather than by coked up nazis. I'd expect them to be the first ones to get the atomic bomb. I still think that a large-scale war would still have happened but it would be between the new socialist states and capitalism. You'd probably see global socialism before the 21st century or at least a global dominance not unlike the height of western imperialism.
