The way this played out before in the interwar period was that the Nazis weren’t even in power (but growing) and the SDP was in a coalition with the center-right where they supported rearmament and then the center-right president (who had been supported by the SDP) appointed Hitler chancellor which allowed him to seize power and use those weapons against the rest of Europe.
The SDP has always been shit. They supported German entry into WWI (after pledging not to), they sent the freicorps to kill communists, they supported austerity policies during the Great Depression which discredited the left and caused people to look to the Nazis as an alternative, and they enabled Hitler’s rise to power. 150 years of being clowns.
