You mean the SPD that used the Freikorps to crush the communist Spartacus League?

Ah yes, when the Spartacus League decided "Fuck democracy, we can pull a coup" and were surprised by the fact that the military, fresh from the front, was not fond of the idea.

The Freikorps that went on to aid Hitler in his rise to power?

The Freikorps were all-but-disbanded by '21, Einstein. Wanna remind me when Hitler came to power?

"However, many Freikorps also largely despised the Republic and were involved in assassinations of its supporters, later aiding the Nazis in their rise to power." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freikorps

Voting hasn't had a good record at stopping fascism fyi
