Fair enough, and those are some cognizant points. But surely one of the most important early goals of the revolutionary Commonwealth's foreign policy would be to get the rest of the world to recognize it as the legitimate American government and stop supporting the Blue government(s?)-in-exile and treating it like its not a sovereign state. I mean its just standard revolutionary state shit that (at least for the first couple years) the great powers react with banking freezes and repudiations of debts beholden to America and also indirectly the vacuuming of a lot of hard specie and foreign currencies out of American financial systems and into sanctuaries abroad through the Blue diaspora and elements of the previous state in places like Cuba and Hawaii. And that's not getting into anything worse like Canada becoming the source of a couple of Bay of Pigs style shenanigans with MI6 in the place of the CIA as the Revolution and the uncontrollably vast American border frightens Canadian leaders with threats to their national security. Plus there's always less materialistic grievances too like the liquidation of a lot of private and even public cultural institutions and historic works of Americana as Blue expatriates evacuate like the Smithsonian and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I think a lot of people would hold grudges if London plays gracious host to the Blues that "saved" the White House's paintings from the incoming red hordes, and especially if the theft of America's imperial possessions (and the almighty British Navy) was the means by which these things were taken and denied to the American people and its rightful government.
I would think that rectifying these grievances and making right the injustices the Commonwealth citizens so believes that the outside capitalist world has afflicted on them would make being recognized as the sovereign American state with all the rights and privileges of a legitimate state in the international order a pretty high priority. But how then can the Cooperative Commonwealth truly ask for or receive recognition from the world if parts of its claimed sovereign territories are presently occupied by other powers? How can the Cooperative Commonwealth drop the claims to its Pacific territories without looking weaker than the old Blue order, especially to less internationalist and more bullishly American-particular activists on the right flank, and condemning American territorial residents to damnable capitalist imperialism, which is of course completely different then the Commonwealth's Enlightened Socialist Mandates(tm) it planned for the residential proletariats.
I'm not saying that these are unsolvable or must inevitably lead to military confrontation or even that they won't have been resolved by the time that WW2 comes on the scene, heck if nothing else the Americans could have just added the indemnities they wanted to the bill for Lend-Lease stuff back in '39. But as it was being resolved through the 20s and early 30s, it would have laid the stage through which the SLP Communists and the Capitalist world constructed their views of each other and colored future interactions. Even as the loss of Hawaii and the gold reserves of the Treasury become ancient history new conflicts of interest over American citizens helping organize the SLP-Canada getting arrested for espionage or French companies getting their assets forcibly nationalized in Haiti with American backing carry the torch into the beginnings of WW2. Though I guess if the Americans remain smolderingly discontent by the flares of hostility with Entente capitalists, that might just carry that into a feeling of equal disdain for both the bourgeoise democracies and the new fascists, so I guess I might have just argued myself into agreeing with you
