What’s the symbol on his jacket? I googled “Bolshevik party” and that didn’t give me any results.
Also, going back to a seperate conversation I was having, how do you feel about the German SPD?

I think it’s the meme-maker’s mark. Don’t know why some people mark their memes, but they do. At least they should do it in the corner or something.

Today or in Weimar Germany?
Today, they’re just another social democrat party that’s fallen to the neoliberal rot, so far as I follow German politics.
In Weimar Germany, the SPD were the only party that was actually in favor of democracy, and whatever their faults, the successful popular front of the KPD and SPD in the pre-Stalinist years of Weimar Germany show that fruitful leftist alliance was very possible. Certainly the KPD shifting to the Stalinist line in '27 was no fucking alternative, and the ‘liberal’ Zentrum were just fascist bootlickers in the end. The only other parties of note were conservatives and the literal fucking Nazis. So the SPD were the best of a bad bunch by simply being a mediocre big-tent party surrounded by fascists and their dogs.
As a german you are right on the money with one little mistake. Zentrum were christian-conservatives. The democratic liberal party was the DDP. Both of theme voted with the Nazis in 1933. Gives you a picture how useful even democratic conservatives and liberals are in the fight against fascism.
This isn’t one of those “send em to the gulag” parties is it?
