Would the list of immediate and potential allies of a Strasserist Germany be much different than the one of Hitler's Germany, and could this Germany present a credible threat to the post-Versailles global order that was in place?
Fascist Hungary to some extent. Hypothetically conservative France might tolerate this Germany, if it lacks Hitlers reckless aggresion.
Strasser did want Germany to have strong ties with Poland, so that's a plus.
Not too different, but he would probably seek better terms with the SU earlier. he was technocratic enough to 'forgive' ideological ... differences for 'real politics'.Would the list of immediate and potential allies of a Strasserist Germany be much different than the one of Hitler's Germany ...
Exactly the same threat that Hitler-Germany was. ... only its leader being way more 'clever'...., and could this Germany present a credible threat to the post-Versailles global order that was in place?
Not going to happen, cause the french political arithmetic :... Hypothetically conservative France might tolerate this Germany, if it lacks Hitlers reckless aggresion.
Let's say both hold positions in the government. Röhm is a serious figure in the army. Gottfried Feder controls the economy.Are we talkinh Gregor or Otto Strasser?
Cuz the more radical they become (Anti-Imperialism and a more clear "Socialist" bend than Hitlerite Nazism) the less they'll appeal to Britain. France is out in any case for reasons mentioned above.
A rapproachment with the Soviet Union is very possible, and stronger relations with Poland (serving as a buffer, I'd assume) might also mean slightly better ties between the Poles and the Soviets...
Now the question becomes.
Who'd the Strasserists support in the upcoming conflicts from the 30's, such as the Spanish Civil War and similar?

Hmm... Good points.I'd say the first is a certainty, as the Reichswehr at least was already dealing with the Soviets under Hans Seekt from 1920 onwards. The second, I really can't see happening - Strasserism may be slightly more left-leaning but it's still Nazism (a point some seem to be forgetting - this isn't a communist Germany we're talking here) and Nazism wants Poland eradicated. The Reichswehr was dealing with the Soviets, but it was a temporary deal of convenience only - the majority wanted "their" land back from the Poles. Also, a left-leaning (cosmetically at least) Germany with a nationalist tint probably isn't the thing the right-leaning Polish leadership would want to cosy up to.

The same about foreign politics counts also on this question.Hmm... Good points.
However, were the Strasserists also fixated on the idea of Lebensraüm like Hitler or Himmler? Or did they just wanted to unify all German speaking land?
