AHC: Marxist Britain

The first is a tiny country of 30,000. The other two were backwards, particularly Russia. They were by no means comparable to GB, US, Germany or France.
Moving the goalposts much?
In any case, the simple fact is the situation I described arose much less in the West in the first place (the only examples I can think of are Germany, Austria and Italy between the wars) and if you look at other places they usually don't result in Communism there either, though they do tend to result in revolution or reaction. I'd say you're just looking at too small a sample size. And it is far from out of the question for France or Germany to have gone communist (or UK or US, but France and Germany came closest out of the ones you mention).

I'll grant San Marino but I do feel justified pointing out that taking over a country with a population less than Green Bay, Wi is a lot easier than taking over a country most people heard about.
 
Can I suggest having a look at Fight and be Right? It has a revelutionary Britain which is broadly Marxist, although it doesn't bear hugely close resemblance to OTL's Russian Communism thanks to the UK being a rather different country.

PoD is 1876 and the revolution happens in the 1930's FWIW...

One of the more interesting TLs on here, IMHO.

Alternatively, I believe Mumby did a TL once, in which a *socialist Britain federated with it's remaining colonies, at some point, though I honestly forget the details, or even what it was called, at the moment. :eek:
