In 1913 Hitler,Trotsky and Stalin were in Vienna. They visited the same cafe. What if Lenin and Mussolini also went there while got blown up a revolutionary ? I guess the October revolution fails. So Russia remains in WW1 preventing the Spring Offensive. No CCP either. While communism remains a fringe ideology. Hitler isn't there to bring Nazi Party to power. So no WWII. Mussolini isn't there to bring Fascism to power. So it remains a fringe ideology.
 
Arkady Kremer, Anton Drexler, Rosa Luxembourg, Karl Liebneicht, Kurt Eisner, Yuli Martov, Gregor Strasser, George Sorel, Antonio Bordiga, Govanni Gentile, Vilfredo Pareto,F. T Marinetti : are we jokes to you. Although at this point kremer and Martov had already been sidelined over the Iskra editorial board election and without Lenin the dissidents from the second International over war bonds might not be as organized or might rally around Rosa and Luxemborgism remains strong as Lenin isnt there to weaken it. To the degree that Fascism differs from Sorelianism, it is a creation of Mussolini after the war so it wouldnt even exist, much less be a fringe ideology. My sources being Idy Nidal and Sam Aronow.

My guess is that it probably heads off a major war in Europe in the 1930s or early 40s, but the chances of some sort of conflict given the border issues go up considerably as you get into the mid 1940s and the Great War fades into the distance. Germany and Italy are still at risk of falling into authoritarianism given the weakness of democratic institutions and the impact of the Great Depression. There might not be a USSR per se without Lenin's hardline attitude, which is doubtless all to the good.

On that note, a socialist Russia run by a broad popular front of the Bolsheviks, the Left SRs, and the Menshevik-Internationalists as opposed to a Bolshevik "vanguard party" has a lot of AH potential.

Another thing is more Maos as without Lenin Trotsky Stalin exporting Russia, you get more independent movements doing their own analysis on their own socioeconomic situation like Mao Luxembourg and Bordiga.
 
Another patron of that cafe Freud. Its too late as Interpretation of Dreams has been out for a good 2 decades by this point but maybe the Red Book is never written especially since if you time it right Jung hasnt rebelled yet and might be there too and no Moses and Monotheism so Zoroasterianism not Atenism is seen as origin of Judaism . Idea for a sitcom everyone at the Cafe Central is there from Herzl(dead and already Zionist Congresses have happened by 1913) ie where everybody knows your name. Godel's in Vienna and Carnap.

How will those Maos win though because Soviet support was critical in it's establishment and it's victory

Neither were the origin of Judaism which emerged out the Yahwist sect of Canaanite polytheism during Hellenistic rule

But It was Lenin's revolution that inspired Rosa to start her own revolution
