Tbf, Spain joined the right faction. If the Spanish joined the Axis, they would have been at war with the Comintern too, but joining the Sphere means that the Spanish AI could work with the Soviet AI against the Allies
I was playing as the Soviets last week, and I defeated the Germans in a regular war by 1944. Right after that, the Allies were at war with the Sphere (Japan). Spain joined them and was a bit like a supernova. They were able to quickly take over all of France, some of Belgium and Italy, and West Germany. However, it only lasted for a year, and they got beaten down by the UK and US within 8 months.
Leftist infighting is a thing. The main takeaway is French leftism (altho it had a communist party) was still pro western, yet anti imperial, anti monarch and for the most part anti statist. The majority of French leftists were Republicans like their Spanish counterpart, which emphasized workers rights, liberty and laws that couldnt be ignored by its own government. The Soviet Union was led by Joseph Stalin, a ultra totalitarian, cultish industrial collectivist of agriculture and class... widely criticized even within communist and other socialist movements. It would be hard to say the French Commune and the Soviet Union would get along especially in the time of war.
