The Rise and Fall of Julius Caesar
In Weimar Germany, Julius Stryker was a charismatic anti-Semite. He would show up at political events and get thousands of people to watch him give speeches. The German Socialist Party didn't do very well in the election but he helped them run some candidates. When they couldn't win an election, his party set up a newspaper as their propaganda arm. This is kind of like how newspapers work today: They report on what's going on locally or internationally. And when this gets more famous, other left wing groups will start covering it too.
