If you want communists to work with you, try not assassinating their leadership.

OP, please tell me that someone in the comment section pointed out that the liberals fucking won that election and it was them appointing Hitler to the Chancellorship that produced that outcome. I'm not looking at that cesspit comment section, I just want to not be nagged by my compulsion to argue over this sort of thing.

God, this might be my least favorite lie, that Hitler won the election. It's completely obviously not true that a single google result will dispel it in five seconds, but people still confidently assert it like the KPD were spoilers. I need to assume that it's intentional deceit at this point.

Edit: Their symbol for the politics com being an "I voted" sticker that says "VOTE" is just perfect, btw

If anything, letting Democrats win the next few major elections could spell doom for the Republican party as a whole, and give us a chance to introduce some actual competition to the Democratic party.

Why is there a time traveler from the year 2000 posting on lemmy.world?

KPD? Banned. Ernst? Executed.

SPD? Propped up as the main left party in west germany, still exists, still useless and social fascist.

and yeah calling them social fascists is never expanded on, the fuckers were advocating for colonisation, for war, for fatherland, heaveho

spd ran the police in berlin and are directly responsible for killing Rosa Luxemburg, rip

Guys you don't get it. Ranked choice voting will fix literally everything.

Nuh uh, no way, you aren't tricking me into looking at a lemmyworld comment section. It's friday afternoon and I'm trying to cultivate a beautiful mind palace ova heya

Yeah how’d that work out for the New Popular Front in France?

Boy, it's a shame those German liberals weren't progressive enough and let Hitler win. Guess they should have been a better party.

Leaves out Green and , WONDER WHY?

Wasn't the problem that Hindenburg could appoint any chancellor he wanted if he rejected the pick of the legislature? By the time this election happened he had been ruling by emergency decree for like 2 years. And he was a conservative, even an imaginary alliance of centrists with the SPD and KPD would not have been able to force his hand if he didn't want to accept a nomination he didn't like, and he didn't like the socialists or the communists.

Did Franz von Papen write this comment?

This type of revisionism is off putting to "normies." I don't know if that will change with widespread normalization, but, for the current time, people are still (correctly) primed to respond with "wait... what the fuck?"

Anecdotal: I was discussing with a friend who isn't tuned in to basically anything explicitly "political" especially online Nazi shit. It came up due to a meme where girls were asking guys how often they thought about Rome. And I was like "yeah, for a few people it's probably for actual historical comparisons, but for most of them that's a red flag. They're just obsessed with the power and the glory aesthetics from the past. Like the Nazis."

Then I was continuing on with something like "many of them ironically agree with the Nazis, although they will always say they do not. A fundamental thing that they agree on, a core aspect of fascism and Nazism, was their hatred for communism and specifically the USSR in the case of Nazis. A lot of them have spent time trying to pretend that the Soviets were as bad as the Nazis. There's no actual basis for this, it's known as Holocaust revisionism which is akin to holocaust denialism, but they will say it nonetheless. Perhaps unaware that they are just saying Nazi talking points."

Her only response was "what the fuck? Why?"

I just let her wonder why/place that puzzle piece as she feels fit... but if you're just saying Nazi talking points and making shit up to make their crimes seem less significant, well, I know what I call those people...

That famous "communist" Hindenburg.......

Also for the sake of argument and ignoring their rancid revisionism; for their bullshit analogy to work the Democrats would have to be the party NOT actively engaging in a genocide

So are they saying we SHOULD vote for Republicans??? These people are neo-nazis and nothing they say should be taken seriously, they are ecstatic the dems are helping commit one of the greatest crimes of the 21st century because they think that signals a sea change for normalizing soft fascism, a comfortable, respectable collage educated, trust fund version of fascism that will keep the treats flowing and the minorities contained without all the crassness of the Trumpers

These people think it's funny to play around with genocide and neo-nazism because their daddy's home value reads 1 million+

Libs while they murder you for opposing their genocide: " Maybe you should be nicer to me :/ "

Would you like your vote to matter after November?

Then yes, I’m pushing the duopoly this time around.

lmao our votes have never mattered.

Lmao liberals have no idea what the Anti-Comintern Pact was and who Lebensraum entailed.

Ernst Thälmann was the Leader of his Working Class
