    So… Iron Font…

    I don’t know where I stand on this, my introduction to this topic was anti-revisionist, hearing how bad the German National People’s Party failed, where one side would compromise or stall and the other would be openly fascist and they would conspiracy or not, ratchet into fashism. ML and Iron Font call each other terrorists. So I failed to understand something or my teacher either against the Communist Party of Germany or he was not being candid with me.

      The grammar of this comment is so atrocious that I literally can’t figure out what you’re trying to say, and the spelling doesn’t help.

      The communist party that the Ironfront opposed were what we today would call Tankies. They belonged to the same faction that betrayed the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and allied with Hitler to invade Poland. I don’t know if that addresses your concern, but I give it even odds.

        On the other hand, the SPD was more than happy to use the Freikorps to put down communist uprisings during the time of Rosa Luxemburg, who was very much not a tankie.

        I am fairly certain that this was a big factor in the bad blood between the two groups, which predated the KPD’s turn towards Stalinism and adopting the concept of “social fascism” under muscovite pressure.
