Post war German politics are not easily summed up. The German parliament or Riechstag contained numerous political parties with their own separate agendas. However, it is perhaps easy to categorise them into three main ideologies
Firstly, the left wing Social Democrats the largest Party in the Reichstag led by Freidrich Ebert. The S.D.s wanted stability and to keep the peace within a turbulent post war Germany. They removed the Kaiser, set up the new Wiemar Republic and signed the ill fated Treaty of Versailles. This was to come back and bite them when Hitler was trying to gain support.
Secondly, the Extremist Left wing, Communists, called the Spartacus League they wanted a revolution, similar to the one that Lenin had instigated in Russia.
Thirdly, the right wing conservatives, military, industrialists and nobility, the wealthy Elite or Junkers. They wanted to keep Germany much as it had been before the war. They organised the Freikorps, a volunteer army of ex-soldiers with sometimes extreme right wing views. The Friekorps put down the planned Communist uprising in January 1919 and murdered the leaders of the Spartacus league Rosa Luxemberg and Karl Liebknecht.
