The period of time where the KPD became Stalinist and Thalmann took over?

Thalmann didn't consolidate his power until 1928, so unless 1920-1928 has a different meaning than the obvious one...

When the Nazis became powerful with th3 support of the ebtrenched hyper right wing?

The Nazis became powerful in 1920-1928.

Are you sure you want to keep to that claim.

The SA 100% grew out of Freikorps.

Your claim was that the Freikorps 'converted' into orgs like the SA. Which is not even vaguely true. Like, I don't really know how to carry on a conversation with someone who looks at the independent paramilitaries of the Freikorps and sees the same thing as a fucking street fighting arm of a minor political party because both are comprised of right-wing WW1 veterans.

And 1920-1928 is not the 8 years prior to 1931, or a half decade.

Being so loosey goosey with these things doesn’t mesh with the kinds of statements you keep making here.

it FORCED Thalmann, coming into power in a KPD that had had a very productive relationship with the SPD for the past 8 or so years, to cooperate with the literal Nazis.

Your lack of literacy is not my problem. Sorry that "Thalmann came into power in 1928 after 8 or so years of a productive relationship between the KDP and SDP" is too complex for you to parse.

Even so: that period of time where Freikorps effectively disbanded was when they converted into orgs like Consul or the SA starting in the 1920s. That component isn’t as fragmented or inconsequential as it may seem. There is continuity there and it isn’t insane to know about it.

The idea of comparing the Freikorps with the SA is insane. Consul was disbanded in 1922 by government repression. But hey, who gives a fuck about facts when you can play Bothsides(tm) games?

They really did not.

Oh, okay, so the period between 1920-1928 just didn't exist, cool cool cool.

Explanation: Julian the Apostate was the last Pagan Emperor of Rome. He pursued a policy of religious tolerance across the Empire - which deeply upset the unified Christian Church, who had spent the past 40 years cheerfully persecuting heathens and heretics. Treating people equally is DEEPLY unfair to the TRUE faith, after all!

Macron et co hate the far-right more than the left, but only barely. Once the far-right was no longer in danger of being in control, Macron felt safe to fuck over the left by going with a fellow neoliberal shill.

Dunno, that might be true in general, but he'd only do it when we were in the living room.

Fuck Macron. It's a shame this won't remove him.

I really am more focused on the whole Prussian military organization structure and the coalition with the Freikorps, who were demonstrably anti-democratic monarchist military groups in direct coalition with the Ebert government. It is such a major component to the whole SPD-KPD relationship that was so bad it led to Thallman actively supporting Hitler.

The Freikorps was such a major component to the SPD-KPD relationship that... almost a decade after the Freikorps had been effectively disbanded, it FORCED Thalmann, coming into power in a KPD that had had a very productive relationship with the SPD for the past 8 or so years, to cooperate with the literal Nazis.

Fucking insane.

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'

How is highlighting the aftermath of World War 1 and that context leaving it out?

By literally leaving that context out and attempting to paint it as "Mean ol' SPD went murdering the KPD for no reason :(" instead of literal fucking self-defense against an anti-democratic coup attempt. But fascist apologists rarely argue in good faith.

The critical issue is Ebert (who inherited authority from the monarchy initially) made a coalition with the Freikorps to allow the Weimar republic to inherit the separate governance for the military that existed in the Reich. That was instrumental and core to the issue.

Ah, yes, what he should have done is nobly refused compromise with what was the actual power returning to the country from the front, that way Germany could have enjoyed fascist dictatorship some 15 years early, or a ML dictatorship some 25 years early.

Speaking of animals and food oddities, my dog used to carry his food one mouthful at a time out to the living room so he could eat around us. He'd drop it on the floor and then leisurely eat it and go back for more.
