Why was Communism feared by many Germans?

Communists believed all private ownership of land and assets was theft. Germany’s rich landowners and businessmen wanted to prevent communists gaining any political influence at all.

The Nazis were violently opposed to communism and the SA often attacked communist groups in the beer halls and the streets. This led to many landowners and businessmen supporting the Nazis.

Hope this helped! Pls give me the brainliest :))
