In chapter 17 of Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal, Ayn Rand says:
"It is a matter of record that in the German Election of 1933, the Communist Party was ordered by its leaders to vote for the Nazis - with the explanation that they could later fight the Nazis for power, but first they had to help destroy their common enemy : capitalism and its parliamentary form of government."
This claim has been disputed in another thread, so I wondered if anyone knows where I can find evidence of its validity.

Did The Communists Vote Nazi In 1933?
Where can I find proof of this?

"Man's life is the standard of morality, but your own life is its purpose. If existence on earth is your goal, you must choose your actions and values by the standard of that which is proper to man--for the purpose of preserving, fulfilling and enjoying the irreplaceable value which is your life." -Ayn Rand

The original topic where the issue was brought up ishere..
I only have CUI on the Objectivism Research CD Rom, and I'm not good at navigating through that yet. So I didn't check the bibliography, or realize that there was one. I'll have to next time I go to my mom's house.
I thought that _The Ominous Parallels_ had a reference to that event as well, but I ran about a dozen searches on the CD Rom and I couldn't find anything about it.
I only found quotes from the German Liberal Democrat Party about working with the Nazis to fight the common enemy of Capitalism.
But again, I'm a newbie with that CD Rom and its search feature, and my mom's computer is slow.
