- The events of the German revolution are some of the most tragic in the history of the world workers movement. One year after the Russian revolution, the German workers rose up, overthrew the Kaiser, and set up Soviets all over the country.
But unlike the Russian revolution, where the Bolshevik party had been founded 14 years in advance, the revolutionary party in Germany, the Spartacus league, was founded one month after the revolution began. As a result, they were caught unprepared, and the revolution was beheaded.
In this episode of Marxist Voice, Andy Southwark will explain the events of the German revolution to draw out the need for us to build a tempered revolutionary leadership, ready for the class struggles ahead.

Thank you.
Fine analysis but read so fast it sounded like a “Libravox recording”. Train your speakers how speak with pauses and emphases as needed. The listener is always 2 sentences behind a speaker.
go to Settings, to the right (as you look) of Revolutionary Communis....,
change the playback speed!
perhaps read a book, tho I don't endorse these Grantites who have done a flip from auto-Labourism
which has been DECADES of, in Britain, being deeply inside the capitalist party: Labour
(in Government many times, including 1997-2010, they run Birmingham the largest City Council in Europe etc)
✊️✊️✊️
Am I mistaken? Or does the narrator basically admit that Marxist forces in Germany were attempting to overthrow the government? And that they were also in cahoots with their comrades in Russia? Then given this, was it not in the moral and legal right of the government to use violence against the Marxist revolutionaries? Furthermore, the speaker states that the revolutionaries, if they had successfully overthrown the government, would have prevented the rise of Hitler? But wasn't Hitler a counter-reaction to these very revolutions? If not for these Marxist revolutions, there might never have been a Hitler?
Please stop putting up signs everywhere.

Absolute correctness. Sums up the delusion of communism.
What do you advocate - we pretend capitalism can offer a better day? There is anything better this side of revolution? It’s revolution or extinction.
Have you considered the possibility that you both might not be gods and thus wrong. Neither capitalism nor communism is a scientific theory, neither are humans or human societies some bacteria culture in a lab, the deterministic laws of whose happiness, contentment and felicity and faults and behaviour can be figured out.
Even a single person, no matter how smart, is at loss to figure out his true happiness, purpose and his intentions and his maladies, and now you two gentlemen seem to have exact knowledge and solutions for everything.
@@saimbhat6243 I will take the debate as far as you wish, but for the time being , briefly, we face at least two extinction level threats. Environmental catastrophe and generalised imperialist war.
Capitalism is a system of accumulation, a perpetual growth machine on a finite planet.
Karl.Marx expressed it as the victory of the working class through revolution or common ruin.
I do not share the RCP perspectives, but I see no possibility of capitalism’s sustainability.
The question is how it ends, not if.
