    In the end I don’t really think it matters who did it. I think the real moral of the story is that nazis will eventually find a reason to ban all their enemies, however proportional a reaction that may be to the “thing they did”.

      I agree with that. I want to make clear I am not trying to defend the nazi narrative here. They said that the communist party was behind it, not some random lone communist. I just think that it was a pretty sensible action when fascists get into power taken by someone who coould not have predicted the damage it would cause. I also believe that, if not for the reichtag fire. they would have found another excuse to take power.
