How about the Weimar republic after the end of World War I? Even though that's not a very apt comparison either.
It feels like the author tries to draw historic parallels with current events, which is always a tenuous exercise at best.
- mxfh 6y agoThe Blutmärz Era was quite different too, there a social democrat administation asked for, or at least tolerated, the aid of right wing forces (Freikorps) to stop significant strikes of Spartakist Communists, about 2000 of them were killed. That schism and distrust on the left also significantly helped the Nazis a decade later in not having a unified left to their opposition. The conflict here was a fundamantal post war struggle about the course of action in the first ever German Republic. Germany was not an established Empire like the others either. It was not even 50 years since the German Unification 1871 under Prussian Dominance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_March_Battles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_March_Battles
