There are plenty of ways to change that.Impossible. The commune of Paris was not France. And this time, the rest of the country, meaning an outstanding majority, wanted no revolution. It wanted order and property respected.

Even with it, the German Empire was going to become socialist after winning WWI; Which may not fill the OP i'm just saying if you prevent the unification in the 1800s Germany's much worse off even today than OTL.germany if you prevent the imperialism and prussian unification of germany
There are plenty of ways to change that.
until the 1900s germany can't be a truly socialist country, because its capitalist faze began after unification.Oh well, Germany would probably be your best bet. Though even before unification, there's a problem in the fact that everyone else is going to lay on the smackdown if communists take over one of the German states. Prussia, at the time of the Paris Commune, freed French POWs (this was at the tail end of the Franco-Prussian War) to help the French smash the communists -- I think that shows how much communism made the rulers of Europe shit their pants.
Small landowners can very easily be driven into destitution and radicalism, as tended to happen on the American frontier and the Canadian plains provinces. Transitions from subsistence based agriculture towards commodity production are a distressing phenomenon, especially with the debt that comes with it.I can't figure out how.
Since the french revolution, France was a country of of small land owners, not a country of big land properties, contrary to Russia or even Prussia and Austria-Hungary.
The opinion in the army was leaning to the right, not to the right.
The socialist party took much longer time to develop in France than in Germany and or in central Europe, or than the Labour party in the UK, because the french industry represented a smaller part of the national GDP than in tose countries.
At the time of the commune of Paris, the attempt was doomed from the start because the country was perfectly aware of the risk of a new dictature of the city of Paris on the provinces of the country.
35 million people did not want to be ruled by half of a city of 1 million people.
And they were used to political expression and to the (male) universal suffrage, which they had been enjoying since a generation (1848).
