    Super interesting to me that this holds true now, especially with a dictator like Trump being elected.

      User “Substance Enjoyer” posts a decent critique in the comments.

      The key takeaways here is this is 1930 KAPD. I am not sure if this was written before or after the 1930 election, but the Nazis had gained considerable support that year as the centrist coalition government continued to crater. The KAPD at this time still held the belief the monarchist and military factions would allow a Nazi government to collapse.

      Once von Papen appointed Hitler chancellor it was very clear Germany was all-in.

        Thank you for this. I’m not super familiar with that area of political background, so thanks for that insight.
