Any way you look at it, the Bolsheviks were
looking to expand the Communistic "World Revolution" and even briefly pulled
it off in Germany. There was only one political group prepared and willing
to deal with this threat before it engulfed the country, the NSDAP.

Sorry JB, but that sounds a bit like the old recipe of getting rid of the cholera by sprea-ding the pestilence. Historians, as far the scientifique ones are concerned, found that exactly this wrong hope put on the Nazis by the still established parts of Germany society in that times made them gain in 1933.

It does
not surprise me the SPD hung back to protect themselves. Either one of those
parties would have steamrolled right over them, and trust me for what it's
worth, the KPD, the Spartakusbund and Red Front Fighters' League were not
going to go away without a fight.

Only a prospering economy would have managed that. Intelligence to manage economy, cannot be found or build in street- or other fights. Seems to be an permanent error of politics, that getting the might is already enough and sufficient qualification to solve problems. So you might take it also as some sort of wisdom, not to be envolved in street fights and try in-stead to keep and influence parlamentarian democracy.

As it were, the SA (Sturmabteilung) and Freikorps simply hit harder, and
eventually ground the Reds into camp dust. In time they turned their guns
towards the source of the Revolution -- Soviet Russia.

Sorry, but this also is a myth to me. If America would have lay in the East and had began at the Polish border, National Socialists would have started the same war in 1939, as they didn`t make any differences between the countries they captured in point of ruling ideology or ecomomy form. They had only one principle : might. In the end to silly to find an answer on: might, what for ?

Bests to you. Jb

Yes and vice versa to you. HPA
