		The outcome of the uprising was that the leader of the SPD, Erbert, took power, and his colleague Scheidemann unilaterally declared Germany a republic, in a bid to appease the rebels by ending the rule of the German aristocracy.
		The November uprisings had been a reaction to hardship and tyranny, not a coherent wish to establish socialism.
		The bloody defeat of the putsch and the uprisings showed how violence, especially by a minority, is suicidal against an existing organised state.

	Anniversary of the murder of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg
		The murder was the finishing act in the Spartacist Uprising, one of the most important chapters in the history of interwar Germany, and one of the defeats of the German proletariat which helped prepare the rise to power of the Nazis.
		At the time there was a state of dual power in Germany, one power being that of the bourgeois government, operated mainly through the SPD leaders, and the other that of the workers' Soviets which expressed the possibility of a socialist transformation of society by the working class.
		Partly because of the lack of Leninist organizational party norms, the Uprising was a failure, and the two were jailed, and later murdered by the Freikorps.

	Spencer
		Luxemburg was not an avowed anarchist, but her theoretical criticisms of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and her practical involvement in the spontaneous Spartacist uprising in Germany in 1919 indicate an anarchist disposition.
		While Luxemburg supported the need for party leaders and organization to guide revolutions according to the historical science of dialectical materialism, she also posited that the revolutionary moment cannot be predicted and instead can only occur spontaneously as an expression of the people's will.
		From Lenin's associate Grigori Zinoviev onwards, Luxemburg's views on spontaneous revolution have been castigated as counter-revolutionary nonsense, and the contrast between the success of the Soviet revolution and the failure of the Spartacist uprising has been cited by Marxists to destroy the legitimacy of anarchist tendencies within radical groups.

		Her tragic fate, murdered with the complicity of her former Social Democratic comrades, after the defeated Spartacist uprising in Berlin in 1919 (at the same time as her comrade, Karl Liebknecht), had causes related to the smallness of the group, its political immaturity and indecisiveness than in its spontaneousness.
		And she died at her post later in the Spartacist fight doing her internationalist duty trying to lead the German socialist revolution the success of which would have gone a long way to saving the Russian Revolution.
