On this day, 15 January 1919, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered in Berlin by the right-wing paramilitary Freikorps who were acting on the orders of the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Social Democratic Party of Germany; SPD). Luxemburg and Liebknecht had played an important part in the German Revolution of 1918–1919.
This month, Luxemburg is the subject of our T-Shirt of the Month, made by a worker-owned co-operative, and supporting grassroots labour unions in South Asia. It features a quotation from an article she wrote just a few hours before her death, responding to claims by the governing social democrats that order had been restored in Berlin after a massacre of revolutionary workers: “‘Order prevails in Berlin!’ You foolish lackeys! Your ‘order’ is built on sand. Tomorrow the revolution will 'rise up again, clashing its weapons,’ and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing:
I was, I am, I shall be!”
