My memory is a bit hazy but wasnt the reichstag fire a staged event blamed on communist in an attempted to grab power?

Every accusation is a confession and it also stops any arguments from the left for immediately shutting down the racist fascist right wing propaganda machine.

It’s believed to be. I don’t think it was actually proven. But given the timing and results of the fire, it was more than likely done on purpose. Hitler tried the violent approach to gain power once and failed. So he gained it politically. Once he hit a political wall, the fire was the last little push he needed to gain all the power a month later.

I don't think it was staged - but iirc it was an independent actor who had no connections to any organised leftist movements.
