Is there anyone more utterly vile from German socialism than Ebert ?

Extremely frustrating to see how quickly the German bourgeoisie recognized the Constituent Assembly as their only guaranteer of power through the german revolution and how many of the German left still pushed for its convening and outright rejected conciliar power

Reading about the German revolution and the total impotence of the German left has made me really appreciate the decisiveness and focus of Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Misstep after misstep by the German left and they had the Russians right there to look to !!

Nothing will make you a more zealous Bolshevik than reading through the German revolution
