AHC/WI: Britain and Germany goes Communist following WW1

Alternate History Challenge: Your challenge should you accept, is to have both Britian and Germany go communist in the aftermath of WW1. Bonus if Russia is not communist.
What if: Germany and Britain went Communist became Communist in the aftermath of WW2? How would it affect alliances? Would communism in Britain and Germany be similar(i doubt it would be identical) to that of the Soviet Union?
  • Would Ireland be granted independance from Communist Britain?
  • What would happen to British colonies?
  • How would German and British demography be impacted by those countries having communist governments.
  • What is the American reaction?
 
For starters communism won’t exist outside of revolutionary industrial communes in these areas. The general social relations will be state or union mediated wage labour, with “social” capitals. While the balance will be towards social capital acting in social interests, it will still suck surplus value through commodity production and the wage.

Random politics during the civil wars will dictate the relations between Ireland and the rest of the Islands. I would predict nastiness given the underdevelopment of anti-capital British lefts and workers.

Full ditches, dead idealism, “state” “socialists” shooting down revolutionary communes in their factories. That’s our comparator for this era.

Pankhurst’s body lies a mouldering in a ditch, her truth is marching on.
