AHC: Create a Soviet Union analog in North America

With a POD that can go as far back as 1776, create a north American equivalent of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Bonus points if you can make Great Britain an analog for the United States.
 
Texas stays independent, after a few decades, conquered most of Mexico and competes with the CSA over pan southern peoples. Goes commie in 1917. Texas occupies most of the American south, Virginia and West Virginia are like east and west Germany
 
CSA gets independence and collapses into military dictatorship and economic depression. Whites leave for economic opportunity in the USA. A majority black population eventually has an uprising and overthrows the elite. Either sooner or late they embrace alt-Marxism to deliver them from poverty.
 
Santa Anna wins San Jacinto Battle and maintains Texas. No Mexican-American War, so also California, South West and part of Rocky Mountains remain to Mexico. Santa Ana is celebrated for victory, remains President and during Civil War he decided to intervene against the North to divide and weak US: CSA become independent. Mexico is the new North American power but is still a militar dictatorship until Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa make the famous Mexican Revolution, creating the Estados Revolutionari Unidi de Mexico (ERUM; URSM). After death of Zapata, his designated successor Villa is exiled by Plutarco Calles, that instituted a cruel atheist dictatorship. After Second World War ERUM divide America in two with its Iron Curtain and Washington Wall.
United Kingdom is an ally of Confederacy and so it loses Great War, having to defend Canada against US. After an other defeat during the WWII (under Oswald Mosley) Monarchy is abolished and UK become a Federal Repubblic with English, Scottish, Walesh and Irish States. The new British Commonwealth become quickly a major power and founder and leader of Atlantic Security Partenership between North American Free Nations and Mitteleuropean Union, starting the Cold War.

This was absolutely amazing. Bravo!
 
Russia keeps Alaska and colonizes California to boot, when the revolution comes the Pacific Soviet Republic becomes independent but still with close ties to Soviet Russia.

Not quite a Soviet analog birthed in North America, but still a pretty unique idea
 
the war of 1812 goes so badly that the New England States (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire) secede from the United States. Years later in the 1830s the nullification crisis further weakens the bond between the states. The compromise of 1850 fails, the CSA (Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, both Carolina's) gains independence. Texas later seceded from the South and takes over Mexico, dividing it up as provinces. France props up the Texans as an ally on the continent. In the early 1870s, the Confederate States (Virginia (which has not split) North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky) defeats its neighbor the United States (New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois) and annexing Maryland. The mormons of Utah help unite the plains tribes under one flag to resist expansion. The 1910 revolution takes place in Texas after the Haitian Texan war, which quickly puts it down (analog for 1905 revolution). In 1914, the President of the confederacy of Dixie (South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi) is assassinated while riding through occupied baton rouge. Texas declares war on the confederacy of Dixie in the defense of pan southernism (instead if pan Slavic). Alliances lock in place. The CSA and Confederacy of Dixie go to war against the United States and the New England States. The Great Plains Empire sides with the southern republics. Great Britain stays out until unrestricted Virginian submarine warfare forces her to intervene. Texas undergoes a revolution in 1917, and the treaty of Galveston forces Texas out of the war. Texas loses control of Apacheria (Arizona) Comanchiera(New Mexico) Sequoia (Oklahoma), and its gulf coast (Ukraine analog). The communists under the leadership of Pancho Villia wins in Texas, renaming it the Texan Union. The CSA and COD lose badly with a humiliating treaty of Philadelphia.

The North American Alliance
CSA
Confederacy of Dixie
Great Plains Empire (mormonized native Americans)

The Allies
NES
USA
Republic of Texas (1914-1918)
Great Britain (1917)

The United States and the New England States occupy and partition The GPE, creating resentment. The National Socialist party in the Nashville Republic (former CSA) comes to power and pulls a freedom party and says the reason the war was lost was because of the black population. The Texan Union retakes the gulf during its civil war. The CSA absorbs most of the old COD as the USA and NES appeased them. Texas and the CSA strikes the infamous Garner-Byrd pact and patrician the republic of Louisiana. After several months of fighting the two northern powers, the CSA invades the TU in 1941. They push Texas back only to be defeated at the Second Battle of the Alamo (analog for Stalingrad). Great Britain intervenes after the Empire of Hati bombs their base at Nassau. The Texan Union occupies Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, Louisiana, and (current day Virginia) East Virginia. Great Britain and its allies occupy Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and current West Virginia. Cold War sets in the Americas with Brazil falling to communism (analog for China) in 1949 and great Britain fighting to keep south Colombia from annexing capitalism north Colombia (Panama) in the 1970s. Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina has formed a South East union (Yugoslavia analog). The Texan Union falls in 1993 after opening and talking ( glasnov and perestroika) and is currently ruled by a former member of the intelligence agency the People's Texas Rangers (KGB) Joaquín Guzmán (Putin analog).
 
The Democrats remain united in 1860 (somehow?) and win the election. When Lemmon v. New York reaches the Supreme Court, the Court more or less kills the very idea of a free state, resulting in the secession of all of the free states as the Commonwealth of American States. With British support, the conquer a good chunk of the west while they're at it.

The rump USA descends into being an oligarchic polity where planters lord over slaves and white sharecroppers. It ain't pleasant, and class tensions fester. Plus the Mormons aren't treated very nicely. Over time some of those sneaky immigrants (and Yankees) start spreading these newfangled socialist ideas to the peasants and slaves...

Ultimately a war breaks out with the Commonwealth and it becomes total war. It's a long drawn-out conflict, but the Commonwealth is victorious. With the workers and farmers of the Union hungry and angry, they overthrow the plantocracy. The revolutionaries manage to take control of most of USA, but there are certain rogue polities (the Mormons, the Navajo, etc) who it is deemed will be too much of a headache to forcibly integrate - thus they are negotiated into the union as autonomous protectorates. Thus with the peace of Birmingham, the Confederation of Communal Commonwealths and Protectorates, or CCCP, is proclaimed.
