Ah yes because armed uprisings against governments should be stopped by killing people...
... yes...?
Like, that's the generally accepted behavior when someone is trying to kill you? You are allowed to shoot back?
Jesus Christ, what, is your opinion that the SocDems should have just laid down and died?
The fuck.
The whole historical significance of the SPD government is that when faced with rebellion from fascists and communists the SPD chose to ally with the roving bands of fascist paramilitaries (Freikorps) against the communists.
But the SPD, KPD, and NSDAP were definitely not the only active political entities at the time. Lookin' at you DDP and DVP. The liberals and centrists really enjoy the cover of the SPD-KPD when it comes to the era when the Nazis took power.
