What Soviets could have done to win the Cold War?

From my own head:

-[Re-]legalise other political parties than CPSU after WW2 ends on the condition that CPSU retains a privelleged position (most importantly, exclusive control over the Soviet army). One party dictatorship could have justified during the time of Revolution, preparation for the unevitable backlash of the reactionary forces (WW2), and WW2 itself, but Khruschev already had really no excuse for keeping it. Deliberately design it that way that members of the Communist party could get noticeably less treats than members of these other parties, so all of the treats-oriented opportunists and careerests became honeytrapped in these other parties instead, keeping CPSU pure.

-Unlike army, Soviet police should have been independent from Communist party… and arrest Khruschev and co for investigation under the charge of "if Stalin was so evil, why had you worked for him for so long?". (And organisation of a coup… And murder of Beria…). Hold a big public trial in Moscow for investigation of Stalin's alleged and real crimes.

-Make a "continental" colonialism the target of your propaganda instead of "oceanic" colonialism. Make in your propaganda comparsions between what Anglo settles were doing to Amerindians with what Nazis were doing to Slavs. Claim that Finnish porkies are not real Finns, but Swedish craKKKa colonisers stealing language and identity of the POC they are conquering (and that the same were the case with Estonians and Balts before WW2). In general, present anti-imperialism as a moral foundation of your project rather than anti-capitalism.

-Despite the previous point, try not to intervene agaist imperialism at all. Not even in Hungary. Instead, invest in computing and let Nikolay Brusnetsov use his ternary Setun computer in the industry at last.

-Don't backstab Mao like that. Just… don't.
