AH Challenge: Communist Portugal

Your challenge is to turn Portugal Communist with a POD before WWII.

How would this change the paths of history, especially the Spanish Civil War? I can't see Franco being OK with a communist government right on his doorstep. Would such a Portugal get involved in WWII or would they stay out of it as they did IOTL?

These guys could be successful in decapitating the Portuguese Right wing, getting people like Salazar out of the way.

With the Rightists out of the way, a Left wing take-over becomes more likely, especially if Portugal becomes a haven for political refugees from Spain.

As for involvement in WWII, it probably won't be much, perhaps a few border skirmishes.
