The grammar of this comment is so atrocious that I literally can't figure out what you're trying to say, and the spelling doesn't help.
The communist party that the Ironfront opposed were what we today would call Tankies. They belonged to the same faction that betrayed the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and allied with Hitler to invade Poland. I don't know if that addresses your concern, but I give it even odds.
On the other hand, the SPD was more than happy to use the Freikorps to put down communist uprisings during the time of Rosa Luxemburg, who was very much not a tankie.
I am fairly certain that this was a big factor in the bad blood between the two groups, which predated the KPD's turn towards Stalinism and adopting the concept of "social fascism" under muscovite pressure.
You're talking about events that happened a decade prior to the founding of the organization.
You say that like personality conflicts aren't a core tenet of leftist organizations.
