Well the Weimar Republic was also a regressive shithole run by an absolutely terrible monarch. I’m sure the wife had been suffering in Germany for a while
Not really… the creation of Weimar is literally the go-to text-book example of how liberals will jump into bed with fascists as soon as the prospect of socialist revolt is at hand.
“Oh no, the mean ol’ social fascists promised to have elections instead of allowing a government by force of arms like the Soviet Party Line wanted, how terrible”

Ah, yes, remember how the Social Democrats called the Communists ‘social fascists’ and refused to work with them?
Oh, wait, sorry, I got it reversed, my bad.

Fascist scum like you aren’t welcome here.
Look at France today to see the process ongoing…Ambiance in most right wing parties (incl. Macron) is like rather Bardella than the Front Populaire.
That’s the German Empire. The Weimar Republic was an unstable shithole run by a revolving series of coalitions that ended with ze Nazis.
That’s right lol I forget how short lived the Republic was
It survived longer than the Nazi reign did though
14.5 years compared to ~12
Blink and you’ll miss it!
