If the Soviet Union had not collapsed, the support it gave to "revolutionary" movements around the world would be just as enthusiatic now as it had been for the decades preceding the collapse.
You think our constant opposition to Soviet puppet states, both in military and other terms, had nothing to do with them running out of money?
And that if we had never entered the wars in either Korea or Vietnam, nothing would have changed as far as the spread of communism is concerned? Just as one example, what would South Korea be like today?
