No it wasn't. That shit was a side show compared to the fact that the Socialist government blew up the economy, that the Russians had invaded in the 1920's and caused a communist insurrection in Berlin to support the invasion, and that the "Hunger Chancellor" who actually fixed the economy had cut programs that the predominantly socialist people of Germany thought they should still be able to have.
The National Socialists biggest argument was that they were a complete alternative, almost centrist, party that would keep the benefits of Socialism, Progressive Nationalism, and institutionalize the Volkish movement (which was an ahistorical revisionism of German history into myth).
The degeneracy of Berlin was just that: Berlin being weird. What most Germans didn't like were the Berliners blowing up the economy and supporting a Russian invasion. The germans liked the 'benefits' of Socialism because they were under the impression that a socialist society was an inherently advanced society, but for some unknowable reason, their economy kept dying. So, they wanted an alternative to Communism, and Democratic Socialism, and evil-backwards-reactionary-thinking Capitalism that all the experts thought would be a really good idea. Well, they found it.
Weird, isn't it, that the areas that attempt to go full socialism - such as Berlin in the 1920s - always have as a solution to the complete degeneration of society that results of "more socialism"?
This is the point. All socialism inevitably seeks to correct the problems of socialism with socialism.
The idea that socialism is inherently morally degenerate is the result of the Fabian Socialists exposing the west to the longest period of cultural demoralization in history. That's the strategy of the "New Left". On the other hand, the "Old Left" didn't want to wait for that period of demoralization, and had enough power to just kill everyone who disagreed, and create their Year Zero moment themselves. As a result, Eastern Europe and the Soviet sphere of influence showed Communism as inherently morally traditionalist to their Communist morality from Year Zero.
Wasn't part of the reason for the growth in Nazism in Germany was because of the degeneracy that was happening to the point you had child prostitution
So how about you stop being such open degenerates demanding public attention, and then you don't have to fear a huge backlash and camps?

Vee's dissection of a modern candy commercial that survived the old Communist regime shows the "conservatism" of the old Communist regimes.
