But a war not happening also hinges on the capitalist world not attacking first. In our reality they backed out of the Russian Civil War after invading and failing - but if Germany goes red, a much more developed and much closer country, I could see the calculus of world leaders being different.
the entente wouldn't leave the spartakists alone if they became successful, and there's not much the french left could do to prevent the (possibly autonomous) movement of entente occupation forces already in germany against it. they were unwilling to start a protracted war, but not averse to strangling a revolution in the cradle
If Germany goes red, the fact that the frontlines of the previous, incredibly unpopular war, would be returned to may just be enough to push those same soldiers over, especially given some good propagandizing on the revolution's behalf. I imagine it degrading into a European wide Civil War/ Revolution
