    I don’t understand.

    They are promising Soviet food and oil, the effort of uniting all German people into one nation, the end of Versailles, the end of debt, the end of hyper inflation, the protection of invasion from Britain and France, and still remaining independent from the Soviets.

    And then 13 million Germans were like “give me that, but with war and death and mass killing please.”

    Damn, people really can’t handle the word communism.

      Because liberal elections are not actually democratic due to the outsized influence of media and wealth.

      Also, a lot of Germans hated Jewish people.

      “yeah but those commies are a band of murderous thugs who tried to overthrow the government! Hitler and his national socialists would never… what’s that? oh. Okay apparently the Nazis did that too and even more recently but at least they RESPECT GERMANY (and flatter my fragile megaloser ego by saying I’m a supermensch and literally the main character for the entirety of human history).” - average NSDAP voter
