Oh right because the fascist whose party’s project 2025 proposal secures him as king and destroys democracy isn’t Hitler, the other guy because Israel. Meanwhile, Donny spent most of his propping up and outwardly supporting Bibi telling the world he’s the real friend of Israel. You complain about Zionism but support Fascism so what are you actually trying to accomplish?
Famous just not real, it comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Höltermann from the SPD. I think it got misattributed in english because Americans didn’t know the difference between social democrats and communists.
If anybody could find anything at all written in the 1930s saying it’s a KPD slogan, and not just people decades later calling it “well known” with no source and only in English with no explanation what it was in German, that would be really cool.
I’ve found both of those before, the second one quotes it as “Herr Holtermann proudly predicted” so that doesn’t work.
The first one based on Google Books is an unattributed chapter title, and searching doesn’t find any German words for slogan or motto in it. And Rudolf Olden is prominent enough that I think someone would have cited it by now if he had a KPD attribution in there.
Why did the Marxists fail is the closest I’ve found, because he doesn’t explicitly say who he’s quoting. You can read this anthology version of it which unfortunately edits out the actual quote, but Olden is very critical of the SPD for acting like there was an electoral or legal solution to Nazis instead of planning for a civil war, so I really think he’s quoting Holtermann.
“First Hitler, Then Our Turn!”
Famous rallying slogan of the Weimar Communist Party

Relax I’m not fucking with you I’m actually interested in this. There are a lot of contemporary documents, there are a bunch of 1933 SPD newspapers with “Nach Hitler kommen wir!” on the front page, the problem is finding anything that isn’t quoting Holtermann.
