"The poor still weak, the rich still rule"

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the plebiscite which anointed Adolf Hitler president of the German Republic. Of those sections of the German electorate allowed to vote, some 90 % voiced their support for Hitler's presidency. Hitler, using his position as Chancellor, had already taken steps to curb dissent and destroy the (mostly M-L) left following the Reichstag fire a year earlier; but with the Presidency he claimed direct control over the German military, effectively consolidating power for the fascist dictatorship in Germany.
