What's the general idea of Broue's that's relevant here? I'm not familiar with them
Pierre Broue wrote the definitive book on the German revolution. Its kind of a doorstop but the events that surrounded the death of Rosa Luxemburg are not black and white. The Vorwarts siege was led by a mob of radical anarchists that was taken over by police infiltrators, not social democrats. You cant compare the SPD to anything anywhere in the world, the SPD was the most powerful party in Germany, they weren't even remotely comparable to DSA. And Rosa was in the SPD, she believed in the party until she was killed by police. People's entire life was contained in the party, it was incredible. But it got fucked up by power and capital. Just because Ebert was a member of the SPD doesn't make all social democrats Ebert. Well, unless someone want to have an excuse to kill leftists and then I guess any justification will do fine. I'm not even a social democrat but I'm in DSA so fuck me
She split with the party well before she was killed.
Yes the spartacists split in 1917 and she was killed in 1918
