Why was Gustav Stresemann criticized for treating right-wing revolutionaries more leniently than left-wing revolutionaries?

Gustav Stresemann’s approach to political instability during his chancellorship in 1923 was characterized by a strategic, albeit controversial, effort to maintain the integrity of the Weimar Republic amidst severe economic and political crises.12

Stresemann faced simultaneous threats from the far left and the far right. He acted decisively against communist-influenced state governments in Saxony and [Thuringia], utilizing a state of emergency to deploy the army to suppress perceived threats of a communist coup. Conversely, he was criticized for displaying a more lenient attitude toward revolutionary attempts by the radical right, such as the Beer Hall Putsch led by Adolf Hitler.12

This disparity in treatment reflected the complex political landscape of the time. While the central government in Berlin struggled to assert authority over [Bavaria]—a stronghold for right-wing extremists—the judiciary and local authorities often exhibited marked leniency toward right-wing political terrorism. Stresemann’s government, operating under the pressure of potential national disintegration, prioritized stabilizing the currency and restoring order, often navigating these opposing domestic forces with pragmatic, and at times unequal, political maneuvering.321
