This althistory hurts my brain. Changing that much of history is too much, imho.
Senyosu is under reconstruction, however, former tropes still apply

I'm assuming that in this future Spain becomes fascist again (somehow). Either way, liberalism doesn't really mesh well with communism nor fascism, but yeah I'm a idiot now *shrugs*.

In the POD, Reagan's policies hinder the USA and leads to an economic collapse of the US. California, Hawaii, the CSA and Texas succeed from the US, North Korea unites with South Korea, East Germany unites with West Germany. The only capitalist bastions left in the world is in Great Britain, Afghanistan, India, Japan and Ireland. Japan and Great Britain have severe embargoes put against them.

What would you life be like in post cold war if USSR won?
I would already graduated from University and I would be a secondary school teacher, teaching kids Marxist-Leninism.

What if Mussolini went to London during WWII and personally machine-gunned the Houses of Parliament, then proclaimed himself Viceroy of Ontario and invaded Alaska?

Because honestly, that's more realistic than your nonsensical alternative timeline.

Can...we have this?

You're not an idiot; this alternate-history is a bit idiotic since Europe just magically turns communist with the OP giving no explanation whatsoever.

A larger portion of the world would be totalitarian and have poorly run managed economies. There probably would not be an internet, certainly not one the ordinary people could access. I probably couldn't afford a laptop, and even if I could I would probably have to go on a waiting list to buy one at some point in the distant future.

I probably would have been born anyway, thankfully.
A Finlandinized New Zealand would be a Social-based Socialist Paradise, that's semi-independent from the iron will of the USSR, but close enough to be a Major Non-Warsaw ally.
Like how now, it's a Social-based Capitalist Paradise, that's semi-independent from the iron will of the US, but close enough to be a Major Non-NATO ally.

As for me, I'd probably pursue the sciences, and frequently take up new courses at my Free of Charge University.
