OK, so I just started checking out The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer, and while he doesn't spend much time on the German Revolution, what he had got me thinking again:

Supposing either:
In both cases, the Russian Civil War is either pretty much averted or much less destructive than OTL (e.g. no Red Terror).

My question: would this different experience for Russia butterfly Ebert's decision to crack down on the Spartacists and German Soviets in the months following the armistice? What kind of postwar Germany could we see emerge in either of these TLs?
