EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic poster invites the people of Germany to vote for the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD), or Communist Party of Germany, in the elections of 1919. The KPD was formed from the Spartakusbund, or Spartacus League, a Marxist revolutionary group that played a key role in the German Revolution of 1918-1919. The party advocated for the overthrow of the German government and the establishment of a socialist state. The poster's bold design features a raised fist holding a hammer and sickle, symbols of the working class and agriculture, respectively, and a banner bearing the party's name and the invitation to "vote Communist." The background is a fiery red, reflecting the revolutionary fervor of the time. The elections of 1919 were significant as they marked the end of the German monarchy and the beginning of the Weimar Republic. The KPD, along with the Social Democratic Party (SPD), made a strong showing in the elections, with the KPD gaining over one million votes. However, the party's radical stance and violent actions during the German Revolution led to its eventual outlawing and the suppression of the Communist movement in Germany. This poster is a powerful reminder of the political turmoil and upheaval that marked the end of the German monarchy and the beginning of the Weimar Republic. It also highlights the appeal of communist ideology during a time of economic hardship and social unrest. The poster's call to "vote Communist" stands as a testament to the political activism and revolutionary spirit of the early 20th century in Germany.
