Communists are the biggest fucking babies. They constantly coup and purge anyone who shows them the smallest amount of trust and then cry when no one trusts them anymore.

Was the KPD already taking orders from Moscow at that point, or did that start later?

Why would the SPD side with the KPD in 1919 when they were the majority. In 1920 you could make the case but even with kpd they werent a majority coalition lol

Why does the SPD complain the KPD didn’t help stop a dictatorship in the 30s
When the SPD refused to help the KPD establish their own dictatorship post ww1

The Nazi Party would have never come to power if the Communist Party formed a coalition with the Social Democratic Party in 1932. OP seems to think the Communists made the right move.Â

The Soviets and the Comintern are unindicted coconspirators in interwar German rearmament and revanchism.

Everyone: The KPD would have established a totalitarian dictatorship and implemented the Red Terror!
Meanwhile, the KPD’s most prominent ideologue and leader (Rosa Luxemburg):
>Without general elections, without freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, without the free battle of opinions, life in every public institution withers away, becomes a caricature of itself, and bureaucracy rises as the only deciding factor.
>Freedom only for supporters of the government, only for the members of one party – however numerous they may be – is no freedom at all. Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of ‘justice’ but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when ‘freedom’ becomes a special privilege.

Because the SPD didn’t roll over, let itself get couped, and let Germany plunge into a civil war?

I just want to point out that Leon Trotsky (and several other soviet politicians) thought the KPD refusal to work with the SPD was self destructive.

Ebert and Strasserman deserves a lot of credit for reviving Germany and making the Republic halfway functional
But they were still very in the mindset of the empire where any problem could be solved by sending the army in to crush dissent.
