===Socialist revolution===

The SA was a group consisting largely of ex-soldiers, ''Freikorps'' (Free Corps) members, and common thugs who believed in the Nazi cause, i.e. [[socialist]] [[revolution]] and [[class warfare]] against the [[bourgeois]] [[capitalist]] commercial interests perceived to be dominated by [[Jew]]s; they would march in Nazi rallies, assault political opponents and Jewish shops, and intimidate voters during elections. While soldiers and workers endured many hardships during the war, in the immediate aftermath commercial interests and tradesmen were perceived to have [[profit]]ed from the collapse of the [[Imperial German regime]] and had not made the same sacrifices during the war that workers and soldiers had.

One particular political party that the SA frequently assaulted was the [[Moscow]]-controlled German Communist Party, which contrary to contemporary telling of history had nothing to do with the latter party adhering to Socialism, but instead dealt with the latter party affiliation with [[Communist International]] instead of Germany. One inspiration for the SA brownshirts, in their use of terror to force their views on the masses came from the American [[Democratic party]]-run terror organization, the [[Ku Klux Klan]] during the post-Civil War period.  Hitler used the SA unsuccessfully during the failed [[Beer Hall Putsch]] in Munich, 1923, which resulted in a temporary disarray.
