1923: Hitler’s failed coup.
No real consequences.
No fundamental changes.
1933: Hitler takes power.
I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.
TJ Radcliffe@Strandjunker Also: two left-wing (Marxist) parties hated each other more than the right. If the SDP and the Bolsheviks had cooperated they would have beaten the bad guys.
And: it won't be Trump in round two, but Robert Kennedy, who is far more dangerous. He may be a bit player in 2024, but he'll be front and center 2028, and he's an educated, articulate, anti-science, fascist nightmare with a famous name.
Alan@tjradcliffe @Strandjunker This is an extremely reductive view of Weimar politics. The Beer Hall Putsch wasn't even the first coup attempt (check out the Kapp Putsch). The SPD was holding on by the skin of its teeth and was center-left enough to allow for the rightwing Iron Front to kill the Spartacus movement but they themselves in turn were stupid enough to attempt an armed uprising without popular support. Meanwhile the left and the monarchists had been fighting all over Germany.
@tjradcliffe @Strandjunker Calling them all Marxist is silly and many of those left of the SPD weren't in line with the Bolsheviks either. Bavaria alone had to separate consecutive socialist republics. Meanwhile German courts would let rightwingers walk free for crimes against leftists as long as they were political ("out of passion for the fatherland", i.e. the Empire not the republic). But yes, the Nazis were enabled by a broad coalition of the right.
