What if the U.S. and its allies lost in WWII?

If the U.S. and its allies had lost in WWII, the world would be total different from nowadays situations. There would be only three or four countries left on the earth. Due to the fact that the imperialism party began this war, after the Germany, Russia, and Japan won this dreadful war. They would have carve up the rest of the world definitely and would have swallow up the natural resources in their occupancy. This is the reason why they invade other countries.

Besides to drain the other countries natural resources, another important reason is they want to build up a Comminism society to control the world. The WWII is also a war that Communism VS Capitalism. The two party want to publicize their philosophy which is good for the people. Not only the Communism VS Capitalism, but also the socialism VS democratism. Now we are living in a democratic society, we enjoy the freedom and the right we have. It is a very pleasing environment we have. I can't image what would happen if now is the Imperialism party control the world. We would not have the freedom we had right now, and would not have our personal property. How would it be if everday the people just do the same work which is assigned by government? And only received the food, clothes, and basic supplements to survive. I think the society would not have any improvement, and would become very desolate. There would have been no reason for people to live, lacking the incentives for all mankind to do better to the world. Maybe there would not have been iPod or some other interesting products in this world. Because people would have the only hope is to demolish the socialism and to build a democatic society. This is the best way for people, and there are many true exemples to show us right now.
Therefore, I could not image what if the U.S. and its allies lost in WWII.
