      The 1912 election of the sdp came close, and they probably would’ve taken over in a few years if the war didn’t happen. After WWI the sdp took over in the early years of weimar and while moderated since they split with the more radical communists, were still trying for social democracy which was pretty left at the time, it’s just there hands were tied by the treaty of Versailles. Can’t really institute social programs when all of your government revenue is going to repay France.
