Talk:Spartacus League

message: The quote from the "Spartacist Manifesto" is until now not credible: What is meant by the "Spartacist Manifesto"? Where was it published? When? [] refers (on page 37) to an article of the 26 November 1918 issue of Die Rote Fahne as the "Spartacist Manifesto". The article it reprints actually appeared one day before (see []), but it does not contain the quote used here in the article. Mr.john.murphy (talk) 11:49, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: What is the "Spartacist Manifesto"? Where is the quote from?

message: The Spartacist League was never the "german afiliate to the Comintern", simply because the Comintern did not yet exist! It was already the KPD who was a founding membver of the III International, in March,1919.

Why no mention of the fact that Illuminati founder Adam Weishaupt called himself 'Spartacus'. Too many naive, un-analytical dissemniations of modern history going about!
Because Spartacus is a historical figure, not simply a pseudonym used by multiple people. It is also not Wikipedia's job to investigate "links" between the Illuminati and communism. Your question is, frankly, laughable. Commissarusa (talk) 22:01, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical mistake

message: If the Spartakusbund completely became the KPD in December 1918, why are they referred to as Spartacists in the rest of the article and during their uprisng? Surely they should be referred to as communists. GoliathX 17:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I tried to sort out what's going on with that image and why it won't move over, but I can't figure it out.  Can anyone else? matt91486 02:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Image

message: The article reads as if written from a far-left point of view: in the introduction, the right wing of the SPD is referred to as 'autocratic', the Freikorps as 'proto-fascist'. While I don't necessarily disagree, these sorts of statements at the very least need to be supported by footnotes! --Helmold (talk) 19:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible POV

message: The author of the section about the Freikorps crushing the revolution refers to them as being under the control of 'the government'. Is it not true that the SL claimed control of Berlin as a self-governing and autonomous Communist Soviet?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.2.48 (talk) 02:59, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible Bias

message: Would it not be better to call this page 'Spartacus League'.  It's a direct translation from the German word Spartakusbund, it's what's they called themselves (as in Luxemburg's What does Spartacus stand for?) and it would avoid the disambiguation with the modern US Trotskyist group.Haldraper (talk) 08:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed move

message: The article incorrectly suggests that Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated in 1917. Eberhard Kolb in his monograph The Weimar Republic, considered the essential text on the period, cites that the Kaiser abdicated on November 9th, 1918 on page 243, the first page of his chronology. His formal abdication followed an informal announcement by then-chancellor Prince Max of Baden that he was stepping down earlier in the day. (Kolb, 20)
