You need to change the alignment of the Head of Government. If you want to do it for the current game you'll need to edit the savegame. For future games, you'd either change the alignment in the minister file or change the scenario file to make an already-Communist minister the HoG. You may also want to change the alignment(s) of the Head of State; his alignments determine what ministers can be chosen when changing them in-game.

There is a communist revolution event for the USA once your dissent gets above 65 - 70 percent (it's been a long time since I played HOI, I don't remember exactly). It's very cheap (gameplay wise) because the USA is so powerful anyway, but as commy USA you get the decreased consumer need AND it only takes 10 percent dissent to declare war on a foreign country (as opposed to 40 or 80 percent for a democracy). In other words, you can kick WAY too much ass as Red Amerika.

Be advised!

Yes, for the USA the easy way to do it would be to open the console (F12) and type event 3718 that will fire that event manually. The event gives you a choice between Stalinist (Browder) and Left-Wing Radical (Thomas). It could take a while for the event to fire normally since it only checks once a year if the dissent 65 or higher.
