The revolutions that ended World War I

Posted by John, November 10th, 2015 - under Russian imperialism, Socialism, Socialism from below, War, World War I.
Tags: ,

This is from the front page of the New York Times on 11 November 1918.


 
The October Revolution in Russia in 1917 inspired workers and soldiers around the globe. It helped inspire the German Revolution which ended World War I.

Thank Russian and German workers for their revolutions that ended the war to end all wars.  The fact that imperialist and other wars continue today shows that our task as socialists remains – to fight for socialism to end war. Only democratic socialist revolutions by the mass of workers can end war.

Here is the Sydney Morning Herald of 12 November 1918.
