Karl Paul August Friedrich Liebknecht, born on this day in 1871, was a German socialist politician and theorist. Originally associated with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), Liebknecht later became a co-founder with Rosa Luxemburg of both the Spartacus League and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Liebknecht is also known for his outspoken opposition to World War I.
The son of Wilhelm Liebknecht, one of the founders of the SPD, Karl Liebknecht trained to be a lawyer and defended many Social Democrats in political trials. He was also a leading figure in the socialist youth movement and thus became a leading figure in the struggle against militarism.
As a deputy in the Reichstag he was one of the first SPD representatives to break party discipline and vote against war credits in December 1914. He became a figurehead for the struggle against the war. His opposition was so successful that his parliamentary immunity was removed and he was improsoned.
Freed by the November revolution he immediately threw himself into the struggle and became with Rosa Luxemburg one of the founders of the new Communist Party (KPD)
In January 1919, the Spartacus League played a leading role in the Spartacist Uprising, a general strike and armed rebellion in Berlin. The uprising was crushed by the SPD government and the Freikorps (paramilitary units composed of World War I veterans). For their role in the uprising, Liebknecht and Luxemburg were both kidnapped, tortured, and murdered on January 15th, 1919.
Their contributions to European socialism are commemorated annually in Germany during the second weekend of January, an event known as the Liebknecht-Luxemburg Demonstration, or “LL-Demo” for short.

Im not a virgin anymore
I know there are a lot of horror stories about the first time…It was really good for me though and they said it was great for them as well. At the very least im always gonna have fond memories of my first time. Even if later times are gonna be better.
Congrats! Awesome to hear both of you enjoyed it.
death to the v * lcel p * gs
So happy for you!
They wonder why young dudes dont want to get into trades, like my supervisor is blasting conservative hip hop in the truck and Im digging up shit pipes in 100 degree weather for 15hr
When I started there was at least a few token left wing hippie dudes who loved music and smoked mids at every company.
Yeah its becuz where I live sucks ass, suburban Florida is pretty conservative
Idk how you could survive working outside in Florida
Since most of your fellow coworkers are old and hungover, its not as labor intensive as you would think. Lots of breaks in the van. I also eat a lot of veggies and dont eat a big meal before shift which helps. Always have a bandana and sunglasses on too. The fact that I know Im ditching my fam and this place by May helps me get through the day also lol.
I dont plan on doing this work for long tho they dont pay well at all. And if I return to it it, itll be up north
I’m just not interested in (or have an aptitude for) that kind of work, which should be a good enough reason.
I also have a feeling that there’s a ton of right-wing asswipes in trades that I wouldn’t feel safe around.

I have trouble believing she had friends to begin with tbh
Boohoo I support a genocide and that’s hurting my social life
Nice to see some people realize what a monstrous piece of shit she is.
Dang, wonder what that might mean
Friends don’t let friends support genocide.
I came out of the supermarket the other day and there was a lifted pickup truck blasting the South Park song, “Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo”. I can’t see anyone sitting in the driver’s seat of the truck, so I assumed it was someone IRL trolling or something.
I get around the other side and a 50ish man is helping a woman climb into the stupid monster truck. I guess this couple earnestly likes listening to South Park music?
South Park’s main demographic in 2024 is 50-year-old men who think that being a public asshole is the peak of hilarity. He would have been in his early 20s when South Park first aired.
I realized they were in the right age group when I looked the song up, but listening to that to be funny seemed at odds with the way they looked. They’re probably not that much older than me, but they looked like frail old people to me. It was a whole ordeal to get her in the truck.
Listening to South Park music and driving a truck is not a healthy lifestyle.
I finally got properly diagnosed
I set my feed to
and then I set it back to Local really fast. What startles me is how many posts fron other instances have 0 replies. Where are their users?..
let’s go see what’s happening on Lemmy!
CW: giga racism
Stalin, Berlin, etc etc
What the fuck is going on?
somebody made a “huh I never see any racism on Lemmy, what are some examples of racism you’ve seen here” thread so it, predictably, turned into a racism megathread
Predictable and terrible.
Those comments are coming from well known reactionary Pleroma instances. The mentions at the beginning of each comment are a telltale sign that the comment is coming from a microblogging platform. Normally there is little interaction between Lemmy and the microblogging platforms, but if a Lemmy comment gets boosted then this can happen. Those instances should be blocked.
I’m literally laying in bed with my wife, snugglin my wife, looking at my wife and thinking “oh man… im gay…”
And then posting about it on bear website. Most Annoying Wifedyke, causing problems being gay.
You wonder how I got here ? It all started with my dick and now im a black lion
Clinical Depression
