Communism is not able to dominate the world. Communism failed in Russia and it failed in China.
What people fail to understand about Communist regimes is they last about 10-15 years, after which the government reverts to the prior mode of authoritarianism.
As Stalin secured his hold on power in Soviet Russia, his use of state power was more resembling Tsarist Russia than the radical government envisioned by Lenin or even the state of permanent revolution articulated by Trotsky. The reason Stalin had Trotsky assassinated in 1940 was because Trotsky was articulating all the ways Stalin betrayed the Revolution.
After Mao came to power in 1949, he came to embrace the Legalism ideology of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of a unified China. Mao would even brag how his regime outpaced Qin Shi Huang in terms of tyrannical bloodshed.
Pol Pot and his genocidal "Year Zero" campaign in Cambodia came to an abrupt end when the Vietnamese Army invaded and booted his Khmer Rouge from power.
Communism has never displayed the political stability of either monarchial autocracy or western style republican democracy, and is simply not capable of dominating even a single country for any length of time.
Western democracy might collapse on its own, but what will follow will not be Communism, but simply civilizational collapse. The "Great Reset" will be a reversion to the pre industrial era.
