Would you like to remind me who Hindenburg was running against?
Fucking lmao.
For those who aren't familiar with the Weimar Republic, Hindenburg was supported by the SPD when he was running against a little-known fellow called 'Adolf Hitler' running under the banner of the Nazi Party.
But definitely, tankies know their shit when they start talking about how the SPD supported the Nazis for endorsing Hindenburg's candidacy against the Nazis. lmao
Remember, according to tankies, opposing the Nazis is a reactionary act! Critical support for Hitler, right? Red fash never change.
What? Hindenburg literally let Hitler into power and the SPD just whined like a bunch of sad Liberals. But no its the evil communists fault for... Not giving into Hindenburg. Yeah that went well, as we know when Hindenburg won he didn't hand over the reigns to Hitler.
Yes, that was definitely the issue, not the KDP refusing to work with the SDP since 1928 because according to Stalinism Social Democrats were 'Social Fascists' and the only valid course of action was to overthrow democracy. For the people, of course. :)
The point is that under capitalism you can never have true change through reform, this is agreed upon by nearly every major communist ideology.
There's a difference between "Capitalism will not reform itself out of existence" and "Democracy must be overthrown by a small cabal of vanguardists before the People's Will can TRULY be expressed". Unless Kautsky and other Orthodox Marxists are no longer 'major communist ideologies'
