They really don't teach the history before and after WW1 much at all. In 1919 Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemberg led a failed communist uprising in Germany, called the Spartacus revolt. They attempted to co-opt an existing social upheaval. In the west many still see this as a bad thing that communism was defeated.This is how Weimar Germany got its name. The government moved there because of a mass uprising in Berlin. This weakened the government's authority and led to societal conflict and government ineptitude. Hitler and the Nazis were so pissed because of the social and economic repercussions of this.Also>Soviets send Social democrats to Gulags and purge them from politics>social democrats in Wiemar put down communist uprising>something about pottery
>>18102065What’s your point? Yes, the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s are all very interesting and full of interesting characters and movements.
>>18102065The communists were actually counter-revolutionary. There was already a revolution that overthrew the German Empire and established a liberal government, the communists merely sowed the wind and reapt the whirlwind for daring to overthrow actual revolutionaries
>>18102065It's because we live in a crapitalist society so of course the powers that be thave a vested interest in obscuring the social unrest caused by the system that motivated a communist uprising.

>>18102065>a new democratic order of government is formed after the Kaisar abdicates the throne>Social Democrats win the majority of elections>Communist spaz out and try to overthrow the democratically elected government in order to place a dictatorial system with them on top instead>instead of going along with this, The Social Democrats have the audacity to actually deploy the military in order to put down an active armed rebellion against them>commies and commie apologist still cry foul to this day and act as if this was some sort of sinister betrayal of themCommunists are such fucking slime bros. They honestly dont get enough hate.
>>18102225Same thing in Russia. Revolutionaries pushed for a democratic order, the Tsar abdicated, and they established an interm government in February with elections planned for a later date. Then the communist staged a coup against this new government, the coup failed, and it kick started a bloody civil war.
>>18102065>In the west many still see this as a bad thing that communism was defeated.(((Many)))?
>>18102585The communists thought the new democracy would be controlled by the capitalists so they thought it was necessary to take power and implant the proletariat dictatorship so the changes could be really done.
>>18102601>the communist despise democracy because their boogeyman could end up winning through elections so they promote violent revolution and totalitarian dictatorships to usher in their utopian visioncorrect.
>>18102613I'm just saying what were their arguments, not that I believe them. But if you think about it they are a little right, at the end of the day it's the economic power that has the real power. But even like that I prefer living in a democracy than in a communist dictatorship.
>>18102065Rosa luxembourg was an evil monster
>>18102498>godparents included Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels>recognizing and participating in the institution of religionironic
>>18102978Marx's daughter has a christian necklace hanging in that one photo with him.
>>18102585>Then the communist staged a coup against this new government, the coup failed, and it kick started a bloody civil war.The coup very much succeeded?
>>18102065The Spartacist uprising is taught in British GCSE history bruhv, literally anyone who was awake in class should know of it.
>>18104052Well you shouldn't assume Americans know more about this than who killed Kennedy.Well soon you Brits won't be posting here anymore. You'll have to use your own image board then. Good luck bringing back carrying swords in public.
>>18102574you mean>the provisional workers and soldiers SOVIET (Rat, council) gets rid of monarchy>immediately traitors of soviet rule (SPD) within the party seize control>they themselves count the votes where surprisingly they win>immediately get rid of past SOVIET and return to capitalism>coalition with monarchy bureaucrats instead of workers and soldiers even>put ordinary people in jail for refusing this arbitrary treason>start degenerate 15-year shitshow that is now a synonym of moral and political decay>weird mustacheman wins through populism and the promise to deal with the traitors
>>18104090I'm American and we learned about it as well, but then again, Massachusetts has always been smarter than the rest of the country kek
>>18104532Did they teach you who killed Kennedy as well?
>>18104885Tbh we mostly clown on the Kennedys these days so all the kids already know about "the CIA dun it" memes I personally never really bought much into that purely because JFK himself was a Cold War hawk who escalated Vietnam and never hesitated to take anti-Communist action, the image of him as some peace loving hippy is literally just revionist nonsense
>>18105715Wrong on all counts. Just another establishment deciever.
