Every single one there? I do not think you could possibly know that.

The counterprotesters weren’t. If you’re marching and nazis show up to march with you and you don’t drive them off or leave yourself, you’re ok marching with nazis. The term for someone who is ok marching with nazis is “a nazi.”

So the German Communist Party were Nazis?

After the Nazi electoral breakthrough in the 1930 Reichstag election, the SPD proposed a renewed united front with the KPD against fascism but this was rejected.[25]

In the early 1930s, the KPD cooperated with the Nazis in attacking the social democrats, and both sought to destroy the liberal democracy of the Weimar Republic.[26] They also followed an increasingly nationalist course, trying to appeal to nationalist-leaning workers.[4][27]

In 1931, the party reported a membership of 200,000.[28]

The KPD leadership initially first criticised but then supported the 1931 Prussian Landtag referendum, an unsuccessful attempt launched by the far-right Stahlhelm to bring down the social democrat state government of Prussia by means of a plebiscite; the KPD referred to the SA as “working people’s comrades” during this campaign.[29]

In this period, while also opposed to the Nazis, the KPD regarded the Nazi Party as a less sophisticated and thus less dangerous fascist party than the SPD, and KPD leader Ernst Thälmann declared that “some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest [of social democrats]”.[30] In February 1932, Thälmann argued that “Hitler must come to power first, then the requirements for a revolutionary crisis [will] arrive more quickly”. In November 1932, the KPD and the Nazis worked together in the Berlin transport workers’ strike.

Wow. Neat pro-nazi talking points. Do you think this is a good look for the moderation team?

I’d say the German Communist Party didn’t know any better and learned the hard way what happens when you welcome nazis. It’s interesting how none of your examples are from after 1932. I wonder what could have happened in 1933 that caused the sudden cutoff.

How is that pro-nazi? My personal ideology is essentially in opposition to Nazi ideology in every possible matter.

Not what I asked. You said marching with Nazis automatically makes you a Nazi, regardless of if they kill you later or not. So were they Nazis or not.

It’s interesting how none of your examples are from after 1932.

Interesting how you didn’t answer, were they Nazis?
