On the flip side, a socialist or communist Germany would still have had their economy crushed by the Depression, and would still have faced major backlash and had trouble maintaining power. It's not inconceivable that a communist Germany could have been taken over by Hitler's rhetoric just as the democratic one was.

It is tautologically impossible for a depression to happen in a planned economy. Depressions are when the aggregate demand for goods and services falls very far, i.e. people can't or wont spend money and keep the economy going. This causes very high unemployment and deflation even without a contracting monetary supply. A planned economy can't have the demand for goods and services collapse, the state will just order people to do some different project.

@ SwiftRosenthal: The Anarchists and Marxist-Leninists are pretty much opposites from each other in our limited political spectrum. The two forming a coalition is about as likely as the Labour Party and the Tories forming a coalition here in Britain. For Lenin atleast the Militarists would probably be his favoured coalition partner - they have many of the same goals not least of which is increased state authority which Lenin is of course in favour of (I'm sure we all know how the RL Lenin took a dim view of other socialists). However I reckon many of the lower, more democratically inclined, M-Ls would prefer an alliance with either their Marxist bretherin in the Moderates or the United Front. However if the Right and Centre factions get spooked by Lenin I wouldn't be suprised to see them band together to oppose him. But its hard to see the Militarists support anyone in coalition other than the Marxist-Leninists.

This is why I'm eagerly awaiting the appearance of the Spartacus League, which I imagine as a decidedly non-pacifist - even jingoist - version of the Anarchists. *hint*

The Spartacus League was definitely Marxist, not Anarchist.

So, wir exportieren den Kacke von Herrn Engels in Name der internationalen Revolution?
Von Kacke wächst mehr Kacke.
Und dieses Produkt nennen wir Sozialismus.

Vote Anarchists!

Pah, ganz falsch Genosse! Frag mal den einfachen Genossen Bauern vom Lande, der wird dir schon erzählen was man mit Gülle alles tolles machen kann. :p
Wir sollten überhaupt mehr Düngerfabriken bauen um unsere Landwirtschaft zu unterstützen. Mit dem Dünnschiss von deinem Genossen Kropotkin kann man ja nicht mal Unkraut düngen. :D

Vote United Front!

I was just goint go write pretty much this; one of the major benefits of a planned economy is the absence of the booms and busts of the market cycles. So, rather contrary, a strong non-capitalist economy during the Great Depression would probably act as a catalyst for anticapitalism throughout the world.
 
Es freut mich, dass es eine Auseinandersetzung auf Deutsch in einer Geschichte ueber Deutschland gibt. Mein einiges Problem ist, dass ich nicht alles verstehen kann, und die Uebersetzer des Internets sind sehr schlecht. Auch koennen wenige Leute aufs Forum diese Auseinandersetzung verstehen. :D
 
Marxist-Leninist

Lenin brings the vision that is so sorely needed. Easily the most progressive platform available and it comes with cajones. The workers will unite! Now I'm still wondering how all those farmers will be integrated. Perhaps Lenin has a plan that isn't just ignoring them?

Anarchists, its looking like we might need to forge our own nation... The tide is turning worse!

Boo hoo, you are losing. Any thought of counter-revolution will be handled by the Red Guard, I am sure.
 
Blanqui wasn't bad, just mistaken.

Aren't anarchists against the idea of nations in the first place?

An excellent point comrade. Anarchists are not only sore losers, but hypocrites as well!

Silly Marxists, Anarchists are against states hence stateless society, not nationless. Nation does not equal state. The VSVR Anarchists form their own nation, not a state.

"Nation" is a bourgeois invention whose sole purpouse is to confront workers against their own comrades in order to benefit the ruling classes.
