The Reichstag Fire of the Democrats | Frontpagemag – https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/02/reichstag-fire-democrats-daniel-greenfield/

In 1933, the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to begin purging the political opposition. **The fire in the German parliament building was exploited by the Nazis to seize control and purge the opposition,** beginning with the Communists, and then moving on to everyone else.

A year later the Communists imitated their National Socialist comrades with the Kirov assassination. The Reichstag Fire Decree and the Great Purge both blamed the inciting incidents on the political opposition and used them as a pretext for an emergency, for endless investigations, and for criminalizing dissent against two formerly weak leaders: Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

The #Reichstagfire was used to suppress the authority, independence, and democracy of the Weimar Republic’s legislature in the name of protecting it from assault.
