Communism was the Russian brand of socialism, and not very popular in Europe.

Germany was only one country with a facist dictator during that period. There were many others. Spain, Portugal, Poland, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia.
Also I disagree that communism wasn't very popular. It was particularly popular amongst many workers resulting in large communist parties in Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia etc. France in particular was severely infected with communism which has often been cited as a significant factor in the defeat of1940.
