Patton disagreed strongly and he was in a better position to know. Of course, he was overruled by a US high command that was entirely operated by pro-communists so maybe he was wrong.

An important point. Would the commies in the US government have simply agitated for peace after the initiation of a shooting war with the Soviets or would they, like French commies who sabotaged the anti-Nazi war due to the Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty, actively sabotaged the US?

Darker than that probably. They'd have relished the opportunity to cut supplies at critical times and sabotage operations so as to use the Red Army as a tool to accelerate their plans of exterminating domestic enemies.

They likely would have failed in that effort because Americans weren't loyal enough to them - or so they probably calculated.

They were strong enough to apply that strategy a bit five years later and stronger still in the next war.
