Remember, when the social democratic Part (SPD) and communist Party (KPD) of late Weimar republic Germany enabled the fascist government of Hitlers NSDAP in 1933. All because they were too focused on fighting each other, thinking that after Hitler, who is sure to fail, they will get greater voter turnout in their respective favor? Yeah, this here has the same vibes.
Spoiler: they did not get their turn or voter turnout because there was no longer a German democratic state (just to make sure us-americans not well-versed in international history understand)
No, but I do remember the liberal government appointing Hitler because communism was considered more of violence than bigotry.... But hey that breaks your point.
It was the communist Party and the left workers party, so both Sides. Because they communist Party declared the left workers Party AS the enemy rather than the NSDAP, Same with the left workers Party.
And yes to the commenter below, who also did Vote itself into government with Hitler were the conservatives back then.
But Point is, both communist and left workers Party not uniting against Faschismus was the enabling factor for the dictatorship that followed.
It was the conservatives that did that
