  • Ebert would’ve preferred a return to monarchy. His version of democracy and the party was the one that existed within the Prussian Kingdom and the German Empire.

    While the Freikorps were the proto-nazis, in Ebert’s time they were still mostly just monarchists and military aristocracy who opposed the republic. They all hated the Nazis for being peasants, but agreed with their policies nonetheless.



  • This is usually how users that use the ‘tankie’ as a pejorative out themselves as anti-leftist or just plain uninformed. There’s already a term for those who support that kind of fascistic rhetoric: Nazbols.

    Either they don’t know the term, or they do and choose not to. The former owns up quick, the latter digs in and keeps on a grudge about it.

    No surprises here.






  • Consider the context that World War 1’s conclusion left multiple imperial monarchies in ashes. The kind of government in question is one that is directly being sanctioned by aristocratic monarchy. The bourgeioise were and were working with kings and noble families as a matter of status quo, who had just spent years sending entire townships to the meatgrinder.
