The Silver Knives - American (Counter)Culture in a Democracy/Fascist Cold War? (Discussion)

One thing we can be certain of is that anti-racism will become a lot more popular a lot earlier in the West than IOTL.
 
I still fail to see how this causes Communism to become more mainstream in US society, especially given that Communism needs to lose pretty severely and decisively for the Nazis to force the Wallies to a stalemate.

Communism probably not, but socialism had plenty of purchase in mainstream politics in Europe IOTL, and had at least some adherents in the US before WW1. Really, all it requires would be that we go a bit further than the OTL initiatives of the 60's. Without spending a decade and a half on the run because of the Red Scare, Democrats may eventually get to something analogous to, say, 70's Labour.
