Talk:1930 German federal election

message: This chart and descriptions are messed up. All these parties are extreme left wing.  This was not unusual for the 1930s as even the US was implementing social programs.
This article doesn't even state the parties which made up the ruling government afterwards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.24.55.28 (talk) 17:35, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

message: My understanding is that while the CSVP and KVP were new parties, they had a decent number of members of the Reichstag by the end of the 1928 Reichstag, due to the fact that the DNVP split and many of its deputies (including erstwhile leader Kuno von Westarp) split off.  The splitters then did terribly in the 1930 elections - it might be useful to indicate drop-off of seats, if that can be discovered. john k (talk) 06:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've been looking through the elections across Weimar Germany for my own work, and this article seemed inaccurate at parts. Without many citations I'm unsure if the page is outdated or underdeveloped, but specifically I noted:
In the 'Background' section it claimed that 'The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) had won the most votes and had led the ruling coalition in every previous post-World War I election before the election of 1930.' This statement is, if the other Wikipedia pages in regards to this are true, absolutely false. Given no citation, the page seems to be inaccurate.
I'm a new editor so I don't know what to do here, I just thought that drawing attention to it would help.

message: As it currently stands, the 'Aftermath' section of the article is extremely biased against the KPD. It portrays Thälmann as a power-hungry fanatic opportunist who refused to cooperate with the SPD because he wanted to take the votes of the NSDAP. Whilst this claim might have some merit, it lacks any historical context, especially when considering that the Blutmai massacre less than 2 years before. Said incident was a massive step backwards regarding cooperation between the SPD and KPD because of the violent response the SPD-led Berlin Police Force had towards KPD protestors, and thus you could argue that Thälmann's decision to not work with the Social-Democrats was not entirely based on him being power-hungry, but more on the fact that very few in the KPD even trusted the SPD, with said distrust going as far back as the decision of the SPD to not join forces with the KPD during the Spartacist Uprising and instead sending the Freikorps to suppress them. 
Another thing to point out here is that the SPD lifted the ban on Hitler's public speaking in late 1928, which only supported the opinion the KPD held at the time that the SPD was 'enabling fascism'.
Whilst I, as many here do, do not support the Social Fascism theory, it was not born in a vacuum because of some KPD conspiracy theory or something along those lines. The theory mentioned was born more out of a general distrust of the SPD than the inherent dislike of reformists, the former of which can be more than justified because of the events mentioned above. As such I believe the 'Aftermath' sectioned should be complemented to adjust to the NPOV policy, as currently it leans heavily towards the SPD and very strongly against the KPD.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladimir Budinski (talk • contribs) 10:51, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
