Because we're skipping past this part to the "here's how it's relevant to today" part, I want to again emphasize that educating someone about the internal party dynamics of the Weimar Republic and convincing them your take is correct is a herculean task in its own right. This is reasons 1-100 of why delving into this topic is a poor way of convincing anyone of anything.
But assume you've educated me on all the context and I agree with you about who's at fault for what in 1920s Germany. When trying to apply that to today you still run into huge points of disagreement like:
The comparison adds more complexity rather than clarifies, and it opens up a dozen theoretical rabbit holes to get lost in.
I guess I see your point, I was reading it as a german with a german perspective and
might as well be a pitcure of me while reading it (I never got around to finish it sadly). Although a lot of people probably will not agree with me that the parallels are as self-evident I guess.
Also just to clarify the book starts in the 1910s and goes through WW1 up until 1923, not that it makes a difference for your point.
