The killers were members of the Freikorps and proto-fascists, however they acted under orders from the succdems. The SPD voted against the Enabling Act that gave Hitler absolute power, but the votes from the Zentrum party (literally "Center" in English, mainly represented catholic interests and were, you know, centrists) allowed it to pass. Not trying to own you or absolve the SPD of guilt here (I still hate them for denying us a beatiful future), but yeah.
But they could have done much more, like for example in the early thirties the SPD basically held the leadership positions in a lot of unions but they stubbornly refused to call for general strikes(what the KPD wanted but couldn't achieve because they didn't hold much sway in unions) to bring capitalism to fall in Germany, but they rather clung to electoral politics to preserve their precious Weimar Republic and we know where that led us.

No this is good, thank you for the clarification!
