That "wot if the SPD defeated Hitler with electoral politics?" game seems off (hexbear.net)

I don't understand the appeal of a revisionist history that absolves the SPD of paving the way for Hitler. Doubly so a revisionist history that somehow, after all the sacrifices and all the horror, pretends that the Nazis could have been defeated with electoral politics.

The very basic premise just sounds like a revisionist re-writing of history to pretend the SPD didn't have a critical role in destroying the "Good Future". It promulgates the idea that fascism can be defeated with liberal electoral BS in what was, historically, the most stern rebuke of liberal democracy in history. I don't get it. Who is this for?

okay i've played it twice now so i don't have an exhaustive picture of the options, but my endings were both civil war and i even got a positive ending card on the short version (i pumped all my money into the paras), so i don't think the criticism that it's all about electoral politics 'working' necessarily holds up
