Under the leadership of Ernst Thälmann, from 1925 the party became thoroughly Marxist-Leninist and more loyal to the politics of the Soviet Union, and from 1928 it was largely influenced and funded by the Comintern.
Under Thälmann’s leadership the party directed most of its attacks against the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which it regarded as its main adversary and referred to as “social fascists”. This position held that social democracy, particularly the SPD, was objectively a variant of fascism – ‘social fascism’ – because it supposedly upheld capitalism while providing a façade of workers’ representation, considering all other parties in the Weimar Republic to be “fascists”.
The KPD was banned in the Weimar Republic one day after the Nazi Party emerged triumphant in the German elections in 1933.
Keep making things easy for the Nazis, surely your turn will come next after millions of people die
The SPD worked with the Nazi party to kill communist organizers. The SPD carried through their goals of getting Hindenburg elected, who then gave Hitler the reins. The KPD was correct in identifying the SPD as social fascist, as the SPD aided with murdering labor organizers and indirectly gave Hitler Germany.
