Yep. As soon as the first pink tide started in Latin America, the socdem/demsoc parties that won the elections immediatly began having infighting and splited into more parties (mostly because all these parties had many factions inside it, be it pro-soviet, pro-china, trot, hoxhists, anarchists, liberals, pro-native, pro-military, etc...). I think what he would have seen a lot if the Soviets had won, is a bunch of moderate conservatives and liberals change to more leftist politics and ally with left-wing parties, like what happened in Honduras.
