Frankly it's just a weird hypothetical to indulge in.
Socialism (in various forms) was popular across the European continent at the time and tiny revolutions were popping off everywhere. Yeah if the October Revolution hadn't happened maybe the Nazis would have never come to be. But, ANY socialist revolution being successful would spark a reactionary backlash. So if the Bolsheviks had lost maybe the Nazis would have never come to be, but what then? Another socialist revolution was going to happen somewhere, which would likely spark it's own reactionary response.
I feel like these people want to wait for some mythical opportune moment when the revolution can happen in a cleaner way. Where maybe we need to execute some billionaires and maybe some of their more ardent reactionary hounds, but no actual complicated, long, bloody revolution proper has to happen.
