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.
