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.’”

Emergency vets are extortionists
My beautiful orange boy has a urinary blockage. They just came in here and told me they wanted 5000 to clear the blockage and keep him in the hospital for 48 hours with a catheter etc
I’m like I can’t pay that. Then the tech says okay we will prepare a different estimate where we just clear the blockage and send him home.
Wait what the fuck?
I feel like I’m getting ripped off every time I visit a vet.
You probably are. But the vets were ripped off to get their education and run their practice. It’s almost like this capitalism stuff isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Outpatient unblocking is 1200, the absolute shamelessness to not suggest that first
Fucking private healthcare is evil.
About a week after I got a bike my wife decided to get on the bandwagon. I was a bit surprised because she’s not a very active person, but its been cool. We’ve been going on short rides together around the neighborhood. The bike she picked out has a cargo rack on it, and we just proved the viability of doing bicycle beer runs.
Bicycle beer runs make life worth living imo
Getting the bicycle beer runs on the other hand
Is it bad that I keep reading the title as Eugine Levy?
Idk. Maybe it’s time to take action
Fuck today. It’s just all the little things adding up and a streak of losses in Nightreign after work finally had me snapping at people. I’ve been feeling so alienated and misanthropic.

Lol I swear hexbear is a psyop designed to radicalise LGBTQ people and turn them against the moderate middle, thereby creating exactly the villain the gender/sexuality wedge issue calls for.
This is true
Yeah I can feel myself voting Democrat already

And by voting I mean pooping on

The only reason Alabama and Georgia will sleep with Florida is they think they’re cousins.

Stop that, you’ll make Gale cry
Is that a BG3 character? They probably deserve it. REAL mages commit spells to memory (please ignore the fact that in irl games i can only remember mage hand, magic missile and ray of frost…)
he deserves it don’t worry
My sister keeps saying I should become a financial advisor or planner or something but idk how to tell her Charles Schwab won’t pay me to tell people to buy the market and add more bonds as you get older
You can get paid to kind of do that. A lot of financial advisors are sales people for mutual funds, and a lot of mutual funds buy the market and add more bonds over time (well there are retirement date funds that do that anyway). As far as I know the career path is you take a more menial bank job, and an accreditation course that teaches you what stocks, bonds, and compound interest are.
We all already live under facism.

I will become a good GM
