bebatjof π΅πΈKarl Liebknecht was assassinated during the same arrest as Rosa Luxemburg and 2 other founders of the Spartacus League died early in 1919 as well, so the League came to an end.
In the beginning of 1919 there were several revolts, strikes and establishments of communist council republics (on local level). They were violently overthrown by government and paramilitary troops, and the temporary government ended up founding the Weimar republic (still in 1919). The centrist parties chose to align with the old elites over the revolutionaries. In this context the Nazi party was founded in 1920.

"The concrete-and-steel structure demonstrates the new technical possibilities of the industrial age. To ensure the rapid transport of goods and merchandise, massive interventions were made in the river courses. New canals were created for the coal mines. The family of Hugo Stinnes, on the left in the picture, initiated and financed the construction of the Rhine-Herne Canal, as they owned several coal mines. As a representative of the steel and iron industry, Stinnes is depicted as a walking safe. Standing next to him is Walther Rathenau, the politician and lobbyist for the electrical industry. On the right is the American banker Frank A. Vanderlip, who, with a sharpened pencil in hand, is waiting to take notes. He visited Europe [... in] 1921 and assessed the economic situation of individual countries. Not far from this group stands a scantily clad woman wearing a large hat and hold-up stockings. She is photographing the idyllic scene featuring the Hohenecken castle ruins near Kaiserslautern and a portly member of the petty bourgeoisie." (see ALT)

General Strike Now... general strike on May 1 to protest government policies that favor billionaires over workers. It is an idea inspired by a January 2026 general strike ...#DonaldTrump #Germany #Protests #WeimarRepublic

Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe #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.
Jonathan EmmesediI've just been writing about "Vertigo: The Rise and Fall of Weimar Germany" by Harald JΓ€hnner.
One author discussed there is Helmuth Plessner, with a focus on his 1924 "Grenzen der Gemeinschaft" (Limits of Community).
Katja Haustein wrote about Plessner in a TLS review (24/4/20) of his "Political Anthropology":
>>In Political Anthropology (Macht und menschliche Natur), written in 1931, Plessner discusses the anthropological origins of the human tendency to give in to authoritarian forms of government. Closely linked to his earlier and more accessible essay, The Limits of Community (1924), the book reads as a passionate warning against the rise of social and political radicalism that so exhausted the Weimar Republic. Much of Plessner's argument is based on what Richard Sennett has called the "tyrannies of intimacy". Plessner claimed that the central problem of modern subjectivity was not a growing distance between individuals, but, on the contrary, its disappearance. He curbed widespread expectations that promote politicized conceptions of community (Gemeinschaft) as a space in which alienation would dissolve. He attacked the idealization of a "seamless togetherness" tainted by nationalist colours, and defended the idea of society (Gesellschaft) as a space in which distance affords man his dignity. <<
I've got to read some Plessner!
