The media is the problem. The dialectic is fascist vs communist. Nothing else is allowed. Only caught a glimpse of the CBS early years of Hitler movie the other day. But I can guess it did not mention the Beer Hall Putsch was not the first, nor most serious, attempt overthrow the government in southern Germany. Four years before, German communists not only attempted but did, for a short time, seize control and created a Bavarian Soviet (which operated on orders from Lenin). In 1931, German communists, on orders from Stalin, formed a "United Front" with the Nazis to bring down the Social Democrat Party in Prussia.
No one should really have been shocked by the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of Aug. 14, 1939. The fascists and communists had been cooperating for almost 20 years. The worldwide antifascist movement gave Stalin cover to eliminate his domestic enemies while the threat of Bolshevikism allow Hitler to mobilize his people and put down his enemies. Willi Munzenberg, who created the anti-fascist movement among intellectual elites in the west, was the most cynical person ever to walk the planet.
Thanks for the history lesson. It seems that tyranny cannot be a hydra, it must be a single-headed asp, so each aspiring head must eliminate the others.
