Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn’t spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.

      Famously the SPD didn’t work together with fascists to create the kill squads that murdered Rosa Luxemburg.

      Famously, the Spartacus Uprising was definitely a democratic movement and not an attempt to seize the government by force before democratic elections could be held. /s

      But hey, tankies love coups and hate democracy, so it’s unsurprising that fascism, to you, means ‘having elections’.

          There was a general strike!

          Yep. And when the KPD started shooting, the strikers decided they wanted no part of that nonsense. But keep trying to peddle fascism.

          It failed in large part because the Communists weren’t ready for it and their leadership was too paralyzed in the moment to actually seize power!

          “Well, yes, we WERE trying to stop democratic elections, but we just weren’t successful!”

          Red fash never change.
