I really hope not, but maybe you may know more than I about the long boycott of liberals by the Communists who saw liberals as worse than Hitler.
Fuck, the liberals must have been actively sending communists, LBTQ+ people, Travellers, Poles, and Jews to death camps, just like Adolf did. Surely the Communists wouldn’t miss the forest for the trees when they refused to work with the liberals, Right???
Right…?
Right…?
Not voting for a fucking liberal compared to the fascist running worked out in their favor during the 1930s, right…?
Holy shit. So, you just read the first chapter of any history lesson and just assume that’s all there is to the story? This is like something someone would write as a comedy bit. Are you just fucking with us?
Yeah. You got me, the KPD and the SDP never refused to work together. It’s all just a joke, and there are certainly no parallels to the modern day! (Please don’t read a book that says otherwise)
Congrats on your cutting sense of satire, here I was thinking I was just a silly goose helplessly watching history repeat yet a-fucking-gain, the left ripping eachother apart while literal fascists take power.
Fuck, you’re stupid.
God you’re insufferable. If you want to discuss and debate things don’t talk down on others like this.
Also don’t forget to have some knowledge on the topic being discussed.
…Wait, you genuinely don’t know why the SPD was so hated by the KPD? Like, you’re not being obtuse rethorically, you actually don’t know?
What, the not-literal-Hitler groups didn’t get along??? Holy shit they actually tried to tear eachother to shreds for electoral gain instead of focusing on the dude ready to literally planning to shoot them both in the head??? Noooo!!! Surely politicians would never hammer wedges! This could never happen again!
Wow wow wow wowser. I really hope the SDP was sending homosexuals, liberals, communists, jews, minorities, etc, to camps, or the Communists would be utter fucking morons for literally equating the Social Democrats with Nazism. As they literally did.
Fuck me, people who don’t know history are condemned to repeat it, while people who do know history are condemned to watch everyone else repeat it. Get me off this ride.
Ahahah, holy shit, you genuinely have no idea!?! Good God, this explains so much…
I think you need to work on recognizing when you’re in over your head.
Yeah, let me work on not expressing anything that I expect to be ideologically incorrect in a given space. Does leftymemes not like my criticism of leftists who enabled Hitler? Oh no, how will I survive the negative feedback

Downvote the fuck away, the only thing I fear is a fascist taking advantage of division and taking power, ready to put us both in a camp just for commenting here. Surely that could never happen, right?
I’m not saying it to be catty, I don’t really have a dog in this fight. I know very little about early 20th century European politics, and even to me it is obvious who in this conversation has read books on the topic, and who’s maybe read a wikipedia page if anything. I honestly believe your life (and that of those around you) would improve if you worked on being more self-critical. You’re coming off as the guy in the typical mansplain story where a guy at a party explains to the author of a book that she’s misinterpteting her own book.
Am I talking to people who wrote the books? Or the same people who would have been diehard KPD, focusing on tearing down the SPD while Hitler takes power, cackling?
Thanks for your unsolicited input on how to improve the life of a stranger.
Alright you do you

Look up Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht
The ignorance of history is strong with this one.
Who do you call liberals? That term wasn’t present back then and there was no party where that term would apply.
And the communists were all for killing “capitalist jews”. Here’s a quote from Ruth Fischer when she was leader of the KPD:
None of the parties back then map one-to-one to modern parties, and applying our current understanding and sensibilities to the political system in Germany back then without any kind of understanding just directly leads to misinterpretation.
Especially if you don’t understand the political system of the Weimar Republic and just view that through the lens of a two-party system.
