| No-one opposing him? I don't think you know much about Weimar Germany. There were over a million Communist Party members in Germany opposing him.
And he didn't win the election as such, his party won a majority, but President Hindenburg still opposed him, only taking him as Chancellor to stop the Nazi party from repeatedly dissolving the reichstagg. Hitler then had the Reichstagg burnt down in order to enact emergecy powers to close down left wing oppostition. When Hindenburg died he jumped at the chance and took power. He was not elected to his presidential post, he simply merged it with the chancellors post, creating the position of fuhrer.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
