Eugen Leviné, assassinated on this day in 1919, was a German revolutionary communist who briefly led the Bavarian Council Republic, giving luxury apartments to the homeless and factories to the workers during his short reign in power.
Eugen Levine was born to wealthy Jewish parents in St Petersberg, Russia, and became exposed to radical politics after moving to Heidelberg, Germany at a young age. In 1905, Leviné returned to Russia to participate in the failed revolution of 1905 against the Tsar and was arrested and exiled to Siberia.
After World War I ended, Leviné joined the Communist Party of Germany and helped to create a socialist republic in Bavaria. Leviné eventually rose to power as the communists assumed control of the government.
He attempted to pass many reforms, such as giving the more luxurious flats to the homeless and giving workers control and ownership of factories. Leviné also planned reforms for the education system and to abolish paper money, but did not get the chance to complete either.
The German Army, assisted by the right-wing Freikorps paramilitary invaded and quickly conquered Munich on May 3rd, 1919. Leviné himself was arrested and shot by firing squad in Stadelheim Prison.
Ex-Soviet agent Whitaker Chambers cited Leviné as an inspirational figure, writing "During the Bavarian Council Republic in 1919, Leviné was the organiser of the Workers' and Soldiers' Soviets. When the Bavarian Council Republic was crushed, Leviné was captured and court-martialed. The court-martial told him: "You are under sentence of death." Leviné answered: 'We Communists are always under sentence of death.'"

my nephew asked me what socialism is. i told him, imagine you earn 1000 dollars every month. 500 goes to the landlord. 600 goes to utility. 1500 goes to student debt. 1100 goes into growing credit card debt. all's good, right? well the government just abolished the police, so you can get free food by dumpsterdiving.
It's always comes back to just describing life under late neoliberal capitalism.

Loving trans comrades has taken down the test instance. I repeat, we love our trans comrades too much! Too much for lemmy to handle!
The shelter I work at serves dinner every evening, delivered by some service that works with a buncha shelters in the area. They always give us a list of ingredients with each meal for allergies, and provide us with a dozen or so vegan meals each time.
Today I looked at the vegan ingredients list and it included chicken. Fuckin chicken.
how many days in a row can someone show up in leopard print to work before i can just assume they must be a furry?
In a row? Many -- too many to count.
In a column? Just the two.

Everyone thinks websites are working just fine for everyone else. Like they're just not trying when their job or health is on the line.
Britain has never formally apologised for the massacre but expressed "deep regret" in 2019.
