    Alright, here a short trip through German history.
    You know that Marx and Engels were Germans, like many other Socialists. At the end of WW1 there were many rebellions because people were tired of war and hungry. In Munich they chased the king away and had a Communist Republic. And they killed some people there. Did not last long. So called Whites came and took the town. The first days they killed every Red they could get.
    Between the wars communism was quiet strong. They collected up to 30% of the votes. Together with hte votes for the Nazis this blocked the German parliament. And there was a lot of fighting in the streets. When the Nazis took the power communists either were arrested, put into KZ and killed or went into resistance or left the country. Nazis made a lot of propaganda against communism.
    After WW2 the Soviets established a communist country in their zone. It lasted 40 years and was a dictatorship.
    Today neither communism nor Nazis have a real chance in Germany.
