DAP- The Deutsches Arbeiterpartei (German Worker’s Party), led by Otto and Gregor Strasser, is a social nationalist, national syndicalist party. It believes that capitalism is a fundamentally evil, Jewish invention and believes antisemitism is required to abolish the Capitalist system. It is close buddies with the French Sorelians and Neosocialists.
SAPD- The Socialist Worker’s Party of Germany is the largest syndicalist party in Germany. Led by the more left-wing leaders of the SPD, it believes that only a revolution can overthrow the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoise. The party advocates for the end of the monarchy, a world revolution, and an establishment of a German socialist republic. They see the SPD as too bourgeoisie and pro-establishment, while the SPD sees them as too radical and violent.
FAUD- The FAUD, or Free German Workers’ Union, is an anarcho-syndicalist trade unionism based in the Ruhr region. It advocates for power to be given directly to unions rather than to any state or state-like structure, and a violent revolution. It is closely linked to the SAPD but has a number of ideological differences with them, disagreeing with the SAPD’s slightly pro-Leninist stance.
SPD- The primary party of the centre-left, the SPD, led by Friedrich Husemann and Otto Wels, believes in the peaceful establishment of a socialist nation. They support trade unions, welfare capitalism, and are mostly sceptical of both Soviet Communism and the French model, despite its Marxist origins,
FVP- The FVP, or Progressive People’s Party, are, along with the more right-wing NLP, the Reich’s main liberal party. Supporting a free market, social progressivism, laicism, and a constitutional monarchy, they sometimes cooperate with the SPD and other times with the Zentrum.
Zentrum- The Zentrum, despite its name (which means ‘Centre’ in German), is primarily a Conservative party. Although it is led by and mainly represents the interests of the large Catholic community in a nation ruled by a Protestant Emperor, it has gained power before in the Kaiserreich. It is mostly prominent in the Catholic states of the Empire. The party supports social conservatism, economic liberalism, Catholic interests, German Imperialism, and the monarchy.
DkP- The ruling party of the German Empire, the DkP is a pro-monarchy party mainly representing the interests of the Prussian nobility. Supporting a limited yet powerful monarchy, German Imperialism, unification, and militarism, it is divided into the Völkisch faction that supports absolutism and the more moderate Hindenburg-led faction, which believes in a limited, constitutional monarchy and currently dominates.
DSP- The DSP, or German Social Party, is an anti-semitic, far-right, pro-monarchy party. The party believes in Völkisch nationalism, anti-semitism on the grounds that Jews are not ethnic Germans, absolutism, and anti-socialism. While a minor party, they are beginning to gain traction with the nobility. They were also supported by the former Chancellor Erich Ludendorff and are currently part of the coalition government.
