Derb – Just for the record: At the 12th Communist Party Congress in 1923, Nikolai Bukharin asserted that the Nazi Party had “inherited Blshevik political culture exactly as Italian Fascism had done.” That same year, Karl Radek delivered a speech to the executive committee of the Comintern advocating an alliance with the Nazi Party in Germany. The German Communist Party voted with the Nazis often, partly out of the conviction that National Socialism would hasten the arrival of International Socialism. “First Brown, then Red,” was a popular motto at the time. For more, we’ll just have to wait for that other project I’m working on.
