    No, but the socialist and communist were instrumental for ending the first world war and getting rid of the Kaiser. While they led the country Germany experienced a economic and cultural boom in the twenties (aka the roaring twenties)

    In the early thirties the SPD and the communist had started a fight among themselves which was fueled by the large industrialists that didn’t agree with the peace terms ( the steel and weapons industry was largely abolished ) The resulting power vacuum was then filled in by the Nazis while being cheered on by the big manufacturing powers of the time.

    So to answer your question, no Germany had no big left leaning ‘hegamony’ in 30s they had it right after WW1 and in the early 20s

      I’m an educated communist from Berlin’s soviet sector. Just don’t try to lecture me on regional history that is far more nuanced than your simple comprehension of it, okay?

        So your saying that you don’t have any arguments or references, but but your place of residence and political leaning should convince me anyway?
