Our January design celebrated the life of revolutionary socialist Rosa Luxemburg, who was murdered by right-wing paramilitaries in January 1919 in Germany. It featured a quotation from an article she wrote just a few hours before her death, responding to claims by the governing social democrats that order had been restored in Berlin after a massacre of revolutionary workers:
“‘Order prevails in Berlin!’ You foolish lackeys! Your ‘order’ is built on sand. Tomorrow the revolution will ‘rise up again, clashing its weapons,’ and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing:
I was, I am, I shall be!”
