This right here is absolutely correct. The Nazis really had it in for the Commies because the Commies were offering the people the same kinda thing, and they had to eliminate the competition first.
Proven matter of demographics in Weimar. And... the Horst Wessel Leid as the Nazi national Anthem... for a Nazi punk shot in the face by a Communist. Die Fahne Hoch (the flags raised high.....)
“Raise the flag! The ranks tightly closed!
The SA marches with calm, steady step.
Comrades shot by the Red Front and reactionaries
March in spirit within our ranks.”
Comrades... Brownshirts who recruited most of their number from the workers who were Communists. And therefore the rhetoric and politics emulated and said much the same things as the Communists— just a little to the Right of them... but still Re-distributive and a Worker’s Party. And Hitler consolidated them pushed them aside. Leftists murdering further Left Leftists.
