No, in fact it's the single most significant thing. In the Cold War you had one side, which, although supported by some very flawed elements (such as Pinochet), had leadership whose ultimate goal was one that envisioned democracy, free speech, and free markets, that set about taking apart its worst creations at the end of said conflict; and another side that stood for total worldwide dictatorship, economic ruin, repression, and famine
don't you realize how easily this can be turned around? 'despite their faults, on one side you had a commitment to equality, the historical self-realization of the working class, economic liberation, an end to hunger and scarity; on the other, a dedication to exploitation by forced labor, control of the resources necessary for life by the few, false scarcity...'
