The March Revolutionary Movement in Germany (Personal Notes)

Wellred

This section consists of a set of personal notes analysing the March Revolutionary Movement in Germany. It is a tactical and political assessment, not a narrative history. The notes examine the relative economic and political equilibrium in Germany, the role of the Communist Party (with a membership of nearly half a million), and the counter-revolutionary function of the Social-Democrats and Independents. Key figures discussed include Hörsing, Ebert, and comrade Levi. The text evaluates the Communist Party’s tactical errors, the significance of the Westphalian miners and the unemployed, and concludes that the March action, despite defeat, marks a turning point in the communist struggle.
