Her constantly going off about communism being better (I'm assuming she does this) would attract a notorious amount of attention and make her a potential suspect by the police of contributing/supporting banned political parties. In the US maybe, not so much in (most of) Europe. The communists were major parties in France, Italy, and Germany, and even in the UK there were communist MPs (though not many) until the 1950 election. The early to mid 1920s were when the communists were still able to have a relatively-decent working relationship with Labour, and it was the 1924 Labour government that established ties with the USSR. It's really not until the Ukrainian famine and the show trials in the 1930s that criticisms start to really bubble up in the British left against the Soviets. Even outside the communist party itself there were dockworker strikes in 1918-20 over refusing to load navy ships that were going to participate in the war against the Bolsheviks.

The Anna murder storyline was wrapped up in the most unsatisfying, anticlimactic way ever, even by Downton Abbey standards.spronk posted:The guy that Mary was totally macking on, he was on Boardwalk Empire wasn't he? He looks super familiar. Mary certainly loves her bad boys. He was just in The Imitation Game (along with Branson). He also played Ozymandias in Watchmen.
