| Sep 1, 2017 at 19:05 | comment | added | jamesqf | The question might be better answered by turning it around, and asking why anyone, other than the gullible or hopeless idealists (such as still exist in some corners of academia) would be in favor of Communism? | |
| Sep 1, 2017 at 17:17 | comment | added | user18968 | @user2520938 i thought your premises were too different from the claims made in your source. So, why were Britain and France more concerned about communism than dictatorship around 1920? | |

| Sep 1, 2017 at 15:22 | comment | added | user2520938 | @AaronBrick I'm not very good with history (which is why I'm reading the book in the first place). Instead of closing, please explain in more detail why you think the question is not well-founded. | |
| Sep 1, 2017 at 15:20 | comment | added | user18968 | Voting to close. You take one claim about the relative priorities of two countries and blew it up into a scheme about the absolute priority of "most of Europe", while conflating the practice of Communism with the geopolitics of relating to a Communist neighbor. I don't think the question is well-founded. | |

| Sep 1, 2017 at 14:30 | comment | added | sempaiscuba | You might want to read Christopher Andrew's The Defence of the Realm which includes details of some of the activities of Bolshevik agents in the UK in the years after WW1. I don't know of a similar history for the French Deuxième Bureau, but I suspect they faced similar issues. Since the other dictators weren't actively attempting to subvert the main European powers, they - presumably - were seen as less of a threat in the 1920s. | |
