Vienna simultaneously hosted Hitler’s antisemitism model and Austro-Marxist socialism

Evidence

Karl Lueger’s mayorship of Vienna before 1914 provided Hitler with his model of mass antisemitic politics; the city was one of the main centres of European social democracy, among whose chief intellectual ornaments were the Austro-Marxists - Rudolph Hilferding, Otto Bauer, Max Adler, Karl Renner and others. — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 203
