That is not historically accurate at all. The nazis rose to a measure of acceptance in Germany in large part because of political violence on the left.

- dragonwriter 9y ago> The nazis rose to a measure of acceptance in Germany in large part because of political violence on the left. That’s inaccurate. It's true that a background level of political violence across the spectrum that started prior to the Nazis even existing was a factor in both the development of Nazi ideology and methods and in why a solid anti-Nazi coalition was unable to form (and perhaps also a factor in why the ban on the Nazis based in part on their political violence was unable to be maintained politically), but this wasn't uniquely a characteristic of the left.
