[Peace-discuss] The Comintern realized that the policy of opposition to moderate and centrist democratic parties had inadvertently made it easier for the Nazis to come to power

[Karen Medina]

I found this interesting:
"The Comintern (an international network of Communist parties and
movements) realized in the mid-1930s that the policy of opposition to
moderate socialists and centrist democratic parties had inadvertently
made it easier for the Nazis to come to power [...]" - p. 18 [60] of
R. Garner, Contemporary Social Movements (1996)

[I am not a historian, but I enjoy piecing together things. I find
this interesting because I do not know much about the Comintern, and
of course because of the claim that the peace movement is opposing
centrists now to our detriment. In my opinion, the Nazi party came to
power because a lot of things aligned at the same time -- a lot of
things, not just the Comintern's opposition to the moderates. But then
Bush and Cheney were so successful because a lot of things aligned at
just the right time for them. -kem]
