You're talking about events that happened a decade prior to the founding of the organization.
The Iron Front was founded a decade later, sure, but it was founded by the same SPD, which was still run mostly by the same people.
I'm not even sure what you're trying to argue. Are you trying to say that means the Ironfront is bad? If so, the facts you presented don't appear to support your thesis.
No, that's not really what I'm trying to argue. I'm saying that the BS wasn't as one-sided as it seems. The KPD were Stalinists in the 30s, but they also had a few legitimate reasons to hate the SPD and the Iron Front.
You say that like personality conflicts aren't a core tenet of leftist organizations.
No, I say that like the above comment is irrelevant, because it is. I'm not talking about the SPD; I made a statement about the values of the Ironfront. When the Ironfront started, the KPD was a Stalinist organization, and were rightfully opposed.
