I seem to recall that that was how the Empire was toppled. Luxemburg's actions were essentially a continuation of the November Revolution within the broader revolutionary period.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Don't get me wrong, the Spartakusbund and related events were handled terribly.

I'm just saying, she was kind of trying to seize power by force. Not by legitimate democratic process.
:rofl:
Maybe that's because the SPD was trying to kill her. It's kinda hard to run in an election with the free corps hunting you.

Depends.

Okay, it's bad to start a revolt against a democratic government while your slogans are about freedom

Same applies to the partisans, many of whom were communists.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here, are you somehow implying that the SDP was somehow the same as the Tsar?

Mhm, yes lets get back on topic.

The EU as of right now will almost certainly not unite. Depending on how the recovery goes and other things such as who gains power in certain areas, then it could possibly unite one day if it survives the current crisis.

Anyway, enough threadjack.


I personally don't think the EU will unite, however I wish it would as it would give the West an even greater stranglehold on the World (I also wish Russia would join in)

Erm, no, given that there are plenty of ideologies that don't support communism and aren't fascist. What you're saying is just downright wrong.
