    Yeah I wonder if there was a reason the communists were fighting both the nazis and ‘social democrats,’ and had to spend more time fighting the larger group that was openly funding the nazis.

        Not that the distinction bears much value making: They funded the proto-Nazis.

        In the time period in question (After WW1, Wiemar Germany) the social democrats were in direct coalition with right wing paramilitaries.

        Those paramilitaries did some extrajudicial killings and some just so happened to form things like the S.A. and the Nazi party. (And tried to overthrow the social democrats government a number of times by military coup.) Erich Ludendorff is a notable figure to this period.

        But by the time the proto-Nazis had murdered themselves and others enough to become the Nazis, no, the social democrats were no longer in alliance, but mostly after the second coup attempt.

        Just a reminder that communists weren’t the ones to appoint nazis to power; anti communists were. The ones that thought violence is never the answer and we should just vote harder if we don’t want fascists in power.

        And everytime those people get power fascists get power shortly after. Maybe it’s not financially funding, but anti’tankies’ are responsible for every instance of fascism taking power. Because equality and equity scares you people.

            Sorry, niceness does not extend to fascists or their enablers due to recent world events. To resubscribe, stop being a cunt.

                Liberals have been the only people in world history to choose fascism over any form of communism, since fascism doesn’t threaten their world view.

                This includes the dem party in the US who picked clinton, biden, and harris, three far right shit stains, instead of anyone slightly centrist or left wing.

                  You’re doing it again. Tankies always hate non-authoritarians far more than authoritarians. Why do you think that is?

                    Liberals aren’t ‘non-authoritarians’, you just think you should be able to buy authority and violence instead of being born into that luxury. You want violence in the hands of the rich, not the hands of the people where it belongs.

        Which German president appointed Hitler as chancellor? Which “leftist” political parties did and did not endorse that president?
