A comrade and I recently had a talk (that descended into an argument, considering how angry one of them got) with a SEP person about the interwar period. The guy who got angry blamed the rise of the nazis to the Stalinist KPD leadership, which supposedly refused to collaborate with the SPD and create an electoral popular front.
Come to think of it, that's basically the SPD narrative among those few left that are not anticommunist to the point of demonizing socialists.
Leadership can't do jack shit if the entire base won't actually follow leadership. Even if they agreed to an alliance the party and its sympathisers would not have enthusiastically followed it because they fucking hated the SPD for everything they had already done. KPD leadership's hands were tied even if they wanted to (they did not). We can talk about subordination to the party decisions all we want but you can't get people to do something they're truly against, it causes splits instead.
