Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn’t spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.
The idea of comparing the Freikorps with the SA is insane. Consul was disbanded in 1922 by government repression. But hey, who gives a fuck about facts when you can play Bothsides™ games?
Oh, okay, so the period between 1920-1928 just didn’t exist, cool cool cool.
The period of time where the KPD became Stalinist and Thalmann took over? When the Nazis became powerful with th3 support of the ebtrenched hyper right wing? That’s the context I am getting at. That period of time was the SPD hemorraging support in all directions, be it to KPD or NSDAP. Like, I am highlighting the absurdity of the 1930s KPD position here that the failings to stop the Nazis thus far led to Thallman thinking that absurd policy had a shot.
The SA 100% grew out of Freikorps.
And 1920-1928 is not the 8 years prior to 1931, or a half decade.
Being so loosey goosey with these things doesn’t mesh with the kinds of statements you keep making here.
Thalmann didn’t consolidate his power until 1928, so unless 1920-1928 has a different meaning than the obvious one…
The Nazis became powerful in 1920-1928.
Are you sure you want to keep to that claim.
Your claim was that the Freikorps ‘converted’ into orgs like the SA. Which is not even vaguely true. Like, I don’t really know how to carry on a conversation with someone who looks at the independent paramilitaries of the Freikorps and sees the same thing as a fucking street fighting arm of a minor political party because both are comprised of right-wing WW1 veterans.
Your lack of literacy is not my problem. Sorry that “Thalmann came into power in 1928 after 8 or so years of a productive relationship between the KDP and SDP” is too complex for you to parse.
I think if you’ve approached anything I have written here as a refuation of your initial premise, then yeah you probably are feeling that way. You’re trying to manufacture an argument where there isn’t actually one. If the greater context as to what led to such an absurd premise of 1931 is such a conundrum, then it should probably be left at that.
The absurdity of the KPDs position in 1931 is laughable. The context of what led to this absurdity becoming the actual policy and historical event is fascinating and worth learning about, but obviously not here nor for you.
