Because what happens is the Nazis, with their characteristic brutal ruthlessness, simply decapitate the party and arrest the activists who were supposed to be waiting to take over. So that's forestalled. A further hypothetical that gets raised a lot is, couldn't the Social Democrats and the Communists have worked together to keep Hitler out of power?

that's where the prior history comes into play. The very fact that the German revolution in 1919 sees socialists killing socialists produces a dynamic that's so negative that it's nearly impossible to settle on cooperation. added to the fact that the communists see the Social Democrats as rivals for the loyalty of the working class.

In terms of just statistical likelihood, a lot of experts at the time felt, surely the German army is going to step in. And the most likely outcome would have been a German general shutting down the democracy and producing a military dictatorship.

It says a lot about how dreadful and bloody the record of the Nazis was that some people in retrospect would have felt that that military dictatorship would have been preferable if it had obviated the need for the ordeal under the Nazis.

I think that Marx was flexible in his expectations about tactics and strategies even as he was sure that he had actually cracked a big intellectual problem of what the future is going to look like. So how it would play out is,

He was a man who had to deal with a lot of disappointments because in revolutionary uprising after revolutionary uprising, whether it was in the revolutions of 1848 across Europe, whether it was in Poland, whether it was in the Paris Commune, this is it. This is the outbreak of the real thing. And then it doesn't end up happening.

So I think that he'd probably have tried to be patient about the turn of events and We mentioned at the outset that Marx felt it was unlikely that a workers' revolution would break out in the Russian Empire because for that you needed lots of industrial workers and they didn't have a lot of industry. There's a footnote to add there, and it proves his flexibility.
