Except the conservative the liberals were supporting, Hindenburg, won without the socialists support, while the socialists ran their own guy with the slogan “a vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war”.
And then Hindenburg put nazis in all the major positions of power, in the name of unity.
History shows us:
Liberalism creates the conditions for fascism
Liberals would rather work with fascists than socialists.
No, Socialists will not compromise with the people handing power to the fascists. Our objectives are mutually exclusive, we want socialism, liberals want capitalism and will support fascists to maintain capitalism.
Liberals are part of the right, Lenin was correct a century ago: social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism.
The SDP were the next in the camps after socialists. Working with liberals cannot stop fascism because liberals create the conditions for fascism and would rather fascists in power than socialists.
And you would rather fascists be in power than work with liberals. It’s easier to blame others than to compromise for the greater good of stopping fascism. This attitude is exactly the problem I am talking about.
Even if that were true, it all needs to be put aside to unify against the fascists. They pose an existential threat to democracy itself.
“I stand against fascism and want more rights for the common person.” “I am willing to aid fascists when it makes me money or helps win elections”
Yeah let’s unite with them, surely nothing bad will happen.
If you don’t unite with them then history shows what you fear is guaranteed to happen.

It also shows us that socialists won’t compromise to meet liberals in the middle, while the right unifies.

Then you will lose to fascism and fascists kill socialists. The capitalism vs socialism debate is meaningless if democracy is lost.
