Seeing someone “vaguelly left” unironically defending the extrajudicial murder of Rosa fucking Luxembourg was not in my bingo card.
Note that even Germany itself celebrates Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht

I mean elections can be pretty good at legitimizing if they’re free and fair
don’t think we disagree, though the point is more that they’re necessary, but insufficient. having elections can legitimize the process, but if you turn around and rely on right wing paramilitaries to suppress your opposition then it’s not really legitimate.
‘The opposition’ here meaning… people literally attempting a coup.
Right, but they’re good because they’re supposed to give people a voice in their governance, the whole ‘by the people’ thing.
If you only use them to legitimize your program and then toss out the actual desires of the people; that is bad.
