Spartacus League
Luxemburg was freed from prison in Breslau on 8 November 1918, three days before the armistice of 11 November 1918. One day later, Karl Liebknecht, who had also been freed from prison, proclaimed the Free Socialist Republic ("Freie Sozialistische Republik") in Berlin. He and Luxemburg reorganised the Spartacus League and founded "The Red Flag" ("Die Rote Fahne") newspaper, demanding amnesty for all political prisoners and the abolition of capital punishment in the essay "Against Capital Punishment". On 14 December 1918, they published the new programme of the Spartacus League.
