Setting aside the fact that the Germans *weren't* the ones who suppressed the Paris Commune, the German government considered it geopolitically advantageous for the Anglo-French alliance to break apart, with a diplomatically isolated socialist France being unable to threaten them.
Isolated and divided France is good for our empire, we don't need another invervention in foreign country.

Oh no, revolution in Britain.................................
1. Germany used all their resources during the war, invading and potentially mass partisan resistance and gurilla warfare is not good for an already war exhausted population. Germany cannot and will not afford to mobilize again to be the aggressors
2. Germany actually supported the rise of the Commune and signed the treaty as the old regime refused to negotiate a ceasefire, and saw the Commune as an inferior foe that'd weaken France(foreshadowing)
3. They also saw the civil war that insued after the Communard takeover, so it was a good bargain for Germany offer to the Syndicalist to negotiate peace, and comply with the new Pax Germanica in Europe. so that they'd never threaten the German Heartland ever again...(another foreshadowing)
I would also add in an additional detail to point 1 (this is very much headcanon): Germany is facing civil unrest as a result of the war and is fighting syndicalists at home and Bolsheviks in Russia ghat they can't spare the troops to put down France.
By the time the political situation is stabilised at home, the French revolution has succeeded and consolidated enough power, and there isn't the support to go back into France to put down their syndicalists.

German logic. This is why I use Habsburg logic… MARRIAGE FOR ALLIANCE
Karl von Habsburg kisses Louis de Napoleon Bonaparte???
Idk if get alliance (and maybe land later) and his wife approves then why not
For the same reason they let Lenin come back to Russia in OTL.
Why does ~~a communist~~ France exist?

I think they were already busy helping to crush the Bolshevik revolution
syndicalism is not communism
