One of history's great tragedies is how the German workers' movement was held back by the SPD and ended up too divided to effectively fight the Nazis as a result.
Had the SPD backed the revolution instead of sending in proto-nazi Freikorps we could have had world communism today. Or at least the KPD would not have every reason to hate and distrust them.
Or even if the SPD had just been as cordial with the KPD as they were with the arch-reactionary Hindenburg, things could have looked a lot brighter.
Instead we got fascism, a world war and multiple genocides. Capitalism was saved. Stalin was right about succdems.
