Summer 1919: "an orgy of anarchy and murder."
The contest in the Weimar Assembly was the debate on the constitution, pitting the romanticist, nationalist groups, along with the transitional party of independent socialists who sought a proletarian dictatorship, versus the groups widely identified as the exponents of reason. These exponents were a coalition of half-hearted Marxists, dogmatic Catholics and quaking skeptics.
Owing to other factors, the [opposing] groups may proliferate and may contend fiercely over variants, applications and strategy, but they do not contend over essentials. In such a case, the country is offered an abundance of choices among equivalents competing to push it to the same final outcome.
