I'm also looking at this from the perspective of the fact that there was no French Revolution in this universe, no massive spread of the ideas of liberalism and nationalism (yet). So naturally any communist movement that appears in this context is going to be less radical in comparison to one in which the ideas of democracy and secularism are already well enshrined.

Yaaas a banner~ :lol

I think now's a good time to point out how wonderfully backwards this world turned about compared to ours. I'm not complaining, as I love all the nations here, but its amazing/hilarious that in 1940 hostility against "heathens" can still be part of official policy.
