"They had been a majority only years before, but that's not the point. They were a very strong and vocal minority at this point. With the Russian Revolution, with the Spartacus Uprising we see that the german workers were strong and were supported by the Russians. The treaty of Versailles, and Hitler's blaming of Germany's woes on the Jews, and use of socialist rhetoric, had turned many workers away from the KPD and toward the Nazi party." I see your point and I agree with you on this.
apologies for the double post!

I'm not particularly sure of Portugal, I'm, sure there are a few comrades on here that could discuss whether or not it was with you. "Then that must mean either that the class conscious workers were not a mojority, or that they were a large portion that did not vote."

"The military is part of the bourgeois state." The military is part of any state, and it is a predominately reactionary body. "Though, I must ask which country you are from" Portugal, one of the countries the crisis has hit harder. "and also add that Adolf Hitler was elected as well. " Then that must mean either that the class conscious workers were not a mojority, or that they were a large portion that did not vote.

"Yes, fascism is, to put another way, capitalist reaction to a class conscious proletariat." When my country became fascist it was not as a capitalist reaction to class concious proletariat, it was military reaction to chaotic republic. And then our dictator was voted into office.
Yes, fascism is, to put another way, capitalist reaction to a class conscious proletariat.
"Basically, yeah. Actually reading it, however, will tell you why it is capitalism in crisis, why it arises, and what it is in more depth than "crisis capitalism"." It is the way that capitalism changes in order to avoid the rise of leftism.
