A new comrade/patron, Patrick, joins us in the history wing of the Red Library this week to tackle a long-overdue historical moment of everlasting importance for today's Left: the failed German Revolution of 1918.

We talk about the history of the SPD, the infamous voting for war credits, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, the March Action, the Spartacist League and Uprising, the Kapp Putsch, and more!

This one has Big Radio War Nerd Energy and is already an RL classic!
