Communist Germany Pre-Hitler

My best guess would be if the treaty of Versailles was somehow even worse to Germany than it was OTL, which could lead to more Germans joining the Spartacists during the Spartacist uprising, leading to a Spartacist victory and installing a communist government.
 
Personally I think the Bela Kun Hungarians went a little nuts, I don't see them having much a chance.

That sort of thing hindered the Communists in the 1920s. A bit more patience & diplomacy, a velvet glove as it were, could pay dividends. So German CP gains better at the polls in the 1920s. Then leverage that into a coup. A well organized Red Guard could counter the Reichswehr & police.

Now I'm contemplating WWII as a well organized Trotskite Germany & central Europe vs Stalinist Russia.

Then I suggest you do away with Luxemburg and Liebknecht - despite the Trotskyites claiming them as their own they were more and more falling into the camp of Lenin (and by extension Stalin) theoretically towards the end.
