Poincaré was hardly a Socialist.

Yes, France was technically a Social Democracy and Socialism was technically part of France's government. But there's a distinction between hard-line communism and regular socialism. Social Democracy may be discredited as a result of Germany's success and full communism may be supported. Robespierre was more of a socialist than Poincare ever was. And considering the French Revolution did bring forth a communist government, it's likely that hard-line communism may be the radical change France undergoes. A second French revolution, if you will.

Can it be that i seeing this too much from a German perspective ?
After all I'm a German...

A Communist France would give interesting implication, if on other side Russia* become also Communist nation, * not USSR we know it's missing Poland, Ukraine and the Baltic states. (one of goal the German military wanted to reach with this War)
A alliance between Communist France and Russia with objective to Attack German Empire would be logical, but depends who is be in charge in Moscow and Paris
i can imagine that Communist France would intervene in secret in Spanish civil war (1936 to 1939)
Here the French support the Communist, while German Empire and Fascist Italy support the Nationalist

Not to mention Berlin.

Is it really credible that a victorious Germany would just sit on its bum and allow all this to happen? Iirc they had military plans drawn up to overthrow the Bolsheviks as soon as their hands were free in the west. And a France torn by civil war (unless you seriously imagine Communists gaining power peacefully) would be an even easier target for intervention.

Would the Spanish Civil War as we know it even necessarily happen, let alone begin and end in the same years?

Good Question
From 1923 Spain was Military dictatorship with switch constantly there leader, continued a policy of rule by decree until 1931.
In 1931 do public pressure the monarchy was abolish, the Second Spanish Republic declared and King Alfonso XIII fled the country.
But the new government could not stabilize Spain political situation and not solve the economic problems of great Depression.
What let to Civil war in Spain in 1936.

It's depends how Wilhelm II react on situation in Spain.
He could intervene already in 1931 by sending Germany forces to Spain and restore the Monarchy and Destroy those Socialist (Wilhelm II hated deeply Socialism and Communism)
or he let Neutral Spain in peace, until civil war brake out and intervene and restore the Monarchy under Military dictatorship under German Control.

We don't know what Russia is missing as a 1914-1915 end to the war doesn't result in Brest-Litovsk, but nor is it going to result in a communist Russia.

There will likely be no communist states after the war.

There might be a Russian Revolution 2.0 in Russia after losing yet another war, but it probably won't be a communist revolution, rather a republican one that can stick or at least one that puts the Grand Duke on the throne with a constitution and Duma with power.
