The #KappPutsch began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1920. For five days the new #WeimarRepublic, founded after the #GermanRevolution, was chased from Berlin. But the gov's call to #GeneralStrike & refusal of bureaucrats to back the coup doomed it. Amnesty for putschists was a mistake.
Marie Griesbach (after 1920 Hundt) (26 November 1896, #Dresden – 13 March 1984, #Ohlenstedt) was a German revolutionary, #anthroposophist and writer. She was named Red Marie by #HeinrichVogeler. During the #GermanRevolution of November 1919 she joined the #InternationalCommunistsOfGermany.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1920, 100,000 gathered outside Germany's parliament to protest a law #SocialDemocrats were using to weaken the #WorkersCouncils from the #GermanRevolution. In the #ReichstagBloodbath, police fired into crowds as they stormed in, killing ~42, wounding ~105.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1918, the #GermanRevolution reached #Hamburg. Sailors & workers patrolled the streets, disarming police & soldiers. The demands were simple: #KaiserWilhelmII to go, free elections, the vote for women, freed political prisoners, an end to war, free speech.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1918, the #KielMutiny broke out, when German sailors refused orders for a futile mass sortie against the larger British fleet. This was the opening move in the #GermanRevolution that brought down the Second Reich and ultimately created the Weimar Republic.

Another excellent video from #BesD.Marx. Part III on the #GermanRevolution. This one includes the murders of #Spartacists #RosaLuxemburg & #KarlLeibknecht by the traitorous #liberal #progressives of the #SocialDemocrat #SPD.
Watch all three in order!
*Marxist Dad*
How about this instead?
Dear US working class citizens,
Whatever you wish just a few more German citizens would have done in 1918 … ALL of you do that now?

Mir war bislang gar nicht so bewusst, dass die Münchner Räterepublik (April/Mai 1919) nur eine (und die letzte) von mehreren kurzlebigen "lokalen" Räterepubliken auf deutschem Boden war. #PierreBroué #GermanRevolution
Hihihi... #ilike QT @zeitrafferin: #Piraten sind #GermanRevolution (das ist #Deutschland hier - Rasen, you know?)
