If we hadn't joined in WWII, would there still -be- a Great Britain? I
doubt I'm alone in "rather doubting it."

I wonder if we would be better off if Germany had won. Hitler and that
philosophy would have passed quickly

Define "quickly".

The same could be said in an alternate universe where the
Bolshevik Soviet Union didn't last "Lenin and that philosophy would
have passed quickly..." where as in this timeline, it passed "quickly"
if you consider 70 years to be a short time.

and good sense would have prevailed and
led the world into peace and prosperity.
...sure beats the socialism we're heading into.

Unfortunately, Hitler lead a party called "The German Worker's
National Socialist Party". A left deviation from the Marxist -
Hegelian idea, much as the Bolshevikiis were a Right deviation. (And
the Trotskyites were even more out of line.)
