Even tough the declaration of a socialist republic that protects property rights by Kurt Eisner is appreciable,dont you think that The German Revolution of 1918-89 partly paved they way for the rize of the Nazis?
To begin with,The Nazis were funded by the big german industrialists thanks to their anti-Marxist and anti-Bolshevik discourse.Given the fact that money is central to play politics,we can understand to what extend the German failed Revolution of 1918-19 shape the course of german political culture for the following 2 decades.
If you read about the genral mood of Volkdeutsche during the twenties,you will happen to know that one of the main reasons why people voted for the Nazis was the preceived Bolshevik threat.

Given the fact that Lenin himself was sent to Russia by German Military command,it is not funny,nor suprising...Plus,The Second Reich had gained enormously thanks to her treaty with the Bolsheviks:Treaty of Brest-Litovsk..For this treay Germany pormised not to take place against teh Reds in the Russial Civil war,which costed 1 million human lifes and was more devastating for Russia than the war with Germany.
