- cafard 1y agoShort-term or long-term?
- reitzensteinm 1y agoIt's too early to tell.
- lostlogin 1y agoShort term it was effective. It backfired though.
- badpun 1y agoIt got the Bolsheviks to take over, and one of their main goals on international stage was to estabilish Communism in Germany. They didn't get to it only because they were defeated by Poland in 1920, and you can't get to Germany without conquering Poland first. So, Germans funded a party that nearly started a war with their own country. That's a hell of a gamble.
- lostlogin 1y agoThe story doesn’t end there though. After that, what the Bolsheviks created utterly destroyed Germany then occupied it for 40+ years.
- worik 1y agoPedant Quite obvious what I mean

- stuaxo 1y agoReform is continuation UKIP its fair enough for someone to confuse the two.
- mhh__ 1y agoUKIP still exists, I reserve the right to judge someone who wants to comment but someone hasn't noticed this now almost decade old change
