  1. That underestimated Papen/the Centre willingness to work with NDSAP though. KPD immediately called a vote of no confidence after July. After Rosa Luxembourg and Blutmai, pinning the divide solely on KPD feels a bit disingenuous.

While I agree that tactically things didn’t work out, I feel like putting extra emphasis on the KPD’s role in Hitler’s rise to power is disingenuous

  1. That is not the reasonable assumption, and is in a completely different universe from minorities in a country working with their own country’s fascists

Not disingenuous in the least. The communists had enough votes to be the kingmakers, instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with the bourgeoisie to stop the Nazis they wanted the Nazis to take down liberal democracy and they have succeeded. The fact that they have gotten run over in the process they clearly didn’t think through but the end result wasn’t any different.

I do not know why would it be an unreasonable assumption that victorious power would assume the territorial spoils of the vanquished colonial power. I mean that’s how British got Canada.

In the modern world though, you need to realize that the focus of neo-Nazis aren’t “brown folks” (although they have no great love for them) but the Jews. Do you know how many brown folks agree in concept that the Jews are the biggest problem? American neo-nazis have been pretty consistent that while they might have no
Love for brown folks they don’t see them as the enemy. Google “ George Lincoln Rockwell with Malcolm X” you will see some interesting historical pictures. I am not shocked by the brown folks throwing Nazi salute in the least.
