Today in Labor History November 9, 1918: Striking workers stormed the City Palace and the Rote Burg or "red fortress" in Berlin, freeing over 600 prisoners and declaring the buildings to be property of the people. Later that day, Karl Liebknecht, of the Spartacus League, stood on a truck and declared a Free Socialist Republic. This came on the heels of a General Strike, called the night before by the Revolutionary Stewards (union members who had opposed Germany’s participation in World War One), in which thousands of workers took to the streets, many of them armed. The soldiers and police who had been sent to suppress them, instead threw down their weapons and joined the revolution.

The revolution had begun in October, 1918 with the sailors’ mutiny in Kiel. Within a week, workers' and soldiers' councils controlled both the government and military institutions throughout the country. A Republic was …

Today in Labor History November 7, 1918: Kurt Eisner led an uprising that overthrew the Wittelsbach dynasty in Bavaria, during the German Revolution. After the Kiel Mutiny a few days prior, uprisings broke out throughout Germany. Within months, the Independent Social Democrats, who were heading the provisional government, were overthrown by the Bavarian Raterepublik, composed of Workers', Soldiers', and Farmers' Councils. Those fighting the socialists included anarchists and anti-authoritarian communists like Erich Mühsam, Gustav Landauer, Ernst Toller and Ret Marut (who became known as the novelist B. Traven after fleeing the counterrevolution and living in exile in Mexico).

Today in Labor History November 3, 1889: Amelio Robles Avila was born in Xochipala, Guerrero, Mexico. Assigned female at birth, Robles lived openly as a man from the age of 24 until his death at the age of 95. In 1911, Robles fought in the Mexican Revolution and for the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz. From 1913-1918, Robles fought as “el Coronel Robles” with the Zapatistas and was eventually given his own command. After Zapata was killed, he fought under Obregon in the Agua Prieta Revolt. One of his neighbors said that any time someone misgendered him, he would threaten them with a pistol. A public school was named after him using the masculine version of his name, though there is a museum in Xochipala that refers to him as “Coronela Amelia Robles.”

It’s not as if the United Kingdom was not ready for a change; it had been written in the stars and in the minds of countless citizens for months, if not years, prior to the elections which brought the Labour Party back into power with a landslide election result.

Today in Labor History October 29, 1918: Wilhelmshaven sailors’ mutiny in Germany. Soldiers and workers brought public and military institutions under their control. They demanded the release of the imprisoned, an end to World War I, and the improvement of food provisions. By November 4, Kiel was firmly in the hands of 40,000 rebellious sailors, soldiers and workers, as was Wilhelmshaven two days later. Workers across Germany elected workers' and soldiers' councils modeled after the Soviets of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and took over military and civil powers in many cities. These events triggered the German Revolution of 1918-1919, which ended the German empire and established the Weimar Republic.
