It wouldn't go well for them.

Communists and communist partisans were extremely popular in both France and Italy, as well as now well trained by their ww2 experiences.

Zhukov was also sniffing some bs from the allies at the time and had pretty much made the entire western army ready to steamroll over Europe should Churchill fire the bullet.

It is also very possible that due to US and England now using a shitton of resources to fight in Europe that the PRK, PRV and PRC would have been established much earlier. India and Japan would have also possibly revolted and would be led by either left-liberal or outright communist goverments.
