Again thats exactly why the 'what if' scenario is simply just that - 'what if.'
Hitler isn't a very rational man and he would've done it not just because he hates communism but because he hates those he considers 'sub-human' to which the Russians were.
Hitler wanted the UK and the US to join his side. He would've much preferred it that way. And yes if he didn't attack Russia he could've swept into N. Africa and the Middle East. The Middle East was already friendly towards Germany for they resented the British. Control of the oil fields + another area to stage into the Caucusus would've given the Germans a huge advantage.
