If the Confederate States of America had won the American Civil War but then had fallen to a communist coup what would a Communist CSA be like? Bonus if it's still racist and uses old Southern rhethoric and propeganda.
It doesn't make much sense if you're going to actual integrate communism with racism, even in the Confederacy. The lower class, both black and white, would have more in common fighting together. Take a look at the leader of the left-wing People's Party in Georgia, Tom Watson, for example, who tried to form an alliance of black and white Southerners in the interests of class solidarity...I think if you do have a communist uprising in the South, it's necessarily going to be a colorblind affair.
For example, in the Soviet Union, the uprising was multiracial on all fronts. The Soviets were a lot nicer to the Jews than were the royals they overthrew, after all.
As for that here's some interesting speculation, if the white capitalists fired a bunch of white workers fighting for unions and instead hired blacks and the resulting strikes caused a revolution wouldn't the resulting revolutionary government be racist.
But would this happen in the South? I'm doubting it.

Which isn't saying much. I suppose the people of Central Asia would be a better example.
Maybe, though, we could see in a communist Confederacy a degree of self-rule for the black population like you saw with the Jewish oblasts in the Soviet Union. That would be an interesting concept, at least.
That would be pretty cool. Hmm, or what about if they pulled an India/Pakistan?
(Where areas that are Majority-Black join to become their own nation and areas that are Majority-White do the same.)
