Given his attitude towards Russia, he'd almost certainly be an NSDAP loyalist.

I assume you would be KPD enthusiast.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

he'd base it on whichever weird subculture he would have been in, obviously

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Nah, he would've been a member of the DNVP. Like all sensible folks.

[windjammer]

Well,
DDP, DVP: moderate heros Cuomo, so no
Zentrum: catholic so no
KPD: True Leftists so no
NSDAP: nazi so no
DNVP: Rightwing so no

Well, I think SPD would fit him well

Looking with my political attitudes, I could be a full on communist then, loyal foot soldier for stalinism.

SPD obviously.

BRTD,
In 1925, you would have voted for Wilhelm Marx or Hindenburg?

Which one was in favor of weed?

He would probably spend all his time in Berlin cabarets trying to get Liza Minnelli to dom him.

Uh, I don't exactly know much about Weimer SPD leaders.

um lol.

I'd say DDP: that's probably the closest thing to your sort of vaguely left wing liberalism that existed in Germany at the time.  I mean it doesn't really matter that it never got that many votes; the Weimar electoral system made it so that you could get representation even if you were a joke party that got a derisory vote share.  The SPD were still a marxist party (at least in theory, they didn't govern like that since they were in coalitions with parties of the centre or moderate right) and the other parties were a bit odd.

neither are from the SPD: Marx was the Centre Party candidate (the SPD guy withdrew from the runoff to let him run to not split the vote) - Zentrum were generally conservative; the party of the Catholic elite but supportive of the Weimar constitution.  Hindenburg was the commander of the German army from 1916 to 1918; he was a very vocal monarchist (only agreed to stand after getting the permission of the former Kaiser), was the candidate of the landed Prussian elites who were also monarchists and weren't at all convinced about the whole democracy thing - they did get the support of the more liberal DVP but a lot of their more prominent figures (including Gustav Stresemann, one of the few right wing politicians that I genuinely have a lot of respect for) were very reluctant about his candidacy.  You also technically had Thälmann (KPD) as well but he got a terrible vote share that somehow was lower in the second round than in the first I assume because all but your most vocal Communists wanted to try and keep out Hindenburg.

Basically your choice is between the Catholic party candidate, a national monarchist former WWI military officer, or a Communist.

Wilhelm Marx is not a Marxist...

It's not like I'm center-right economically. Reminder that this was an SPD poster. Seems right up my alley:


As for the election, Marx seems like the least bad candidate.

[IceAgeComing]

the DDP weren't exactly right wing economically either; they were basically the liberal middle class "we like the Republic!" party of people who wouldn't vote for Zentrum (Catholics) or the SPD (socialist).  They got alright support until the market crash when their voters literally all disappeared: a fair chunk probably went to the SPD, the others probably went down the route of blaming the Weimar state for it all and supported anti-democracy parties.

Those that weren't Jewish pretty much all decamped to the Nazis. But then that was the norm for 'Protestant' parties that weren't the SPD.
