Ernst Thälmann was born in Hamburg, Germany, on 16th April, 1886. His friend, Wilhelm Pieck, later recalled: "As the son of a class-conscious worker organised in the Social-Democratic Party, Ernst Thälmann came into the Socialist movement in his early youth. He was hardly sixteen years old when he joined the Social-Democratic Party. A member of the Transport Workers Union he joined the Social Democrat Party in 1903.

Friedrich Ebert now replaced him as leader of the party. Like most socialists in Germany, Ebert was initially opposed to the idea of Germany going to war. However, once the First World War had started, he ordered the SDP members in the Reichstag to support the war effort.

Thälmann disagreed with the policies of Friedrich Ebert but he was recruited into the German Army in 1915 and during the First World War fought on the Western Front. He deserted in 1918 and when he arrived back in Germany he joined the Independent Socialist Party (ISP). Other members included Kurt Eisner, Karl Kautsky, Julius Leber, Rudolf Breitscheild and Rudolf Hilferding. Ernst Thälmann was active in the German Revolution in Hamburg that began on 29th October 1918.

Thälmann was on the left-wing of the ISP and was a leading figure in the merger with the German Communist Party (KPD) in November 1920. The following month he was elected to the Central Committee of the KPD. Paul Levi was the leader of the KPD. Other prominent members included Willie Munzenberg, Ernst Toller, Walther Ulbricht, Hermann Duncker, Hugo Eberlein, Paul Frölich, Wilhelm Pieck, Ernest Meyer, Franz Mehring and Clara Zetkin. Levi's moderate approach to communism increased the size of the party.

Ernst Thalmann was elected to the Reichstag. In the summer of 1921 Thälmann went as a representative of the German Communist Party to the 3rd Congress of the Comintern in Moscow and met Lenin. In June 1922 Thälmann survived an assassination attempt at his flat. Over the next few years he established himself as one of the most important figures in the German Communist Party.

Ernest Meyer now became the leader of the German Communist Party. Meyer returned to Moscow in 1922 as a member of the German delegation to the 4th World Congress of the Comintern. However, his influence went into decline with the emergence of Thälmann, who replaced Meyer as the Chairman of the KPD in 1925. Ernst Thälmann was the candidate for the German Presidency in 1925.

Thälmann was the party's presidential candidate in 1932. He won 13.2 of the vote compared to the 30.1 received by Adolf Hitler. In January 1933, Thälmann proposed that the German Communist Party (KPD) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) should organise a general strike in order to remove Hitler. When these negotiations broke down, Thälmann called for the violent overthrow of Hitler's government.

After the Reichstag Fire on 27th February, 1933, the Nazi Party launched a wave of violence against members of the German Communist Party and other left-wing opponents of the regime. This included Thälmann who was arrested and imprisoned on 3rd March 1933.

Ernst Thälmann spent over eleven years in solitary confinement. He was executed in Buchenwald Concentration Camp on 18th August 1944. A few days later the Nazi government announced that Thälmann and Rudolf Breitscheid had been killed in an Allied bombing attack.

bit idea: all the explain-joke reddits are replaced with a bot that returns "sex" to all submissions

literally how is it possible every post to those subs is just jokes about sex, you'd think some people run across niche memes like about geology and actually need an explanation at some point

It's always so awkward going to the Home Center when buying small quanities of lumber that are too long to fit in a standard shopping cart. You gotta grab one of their special lumber carts and I just feel like I look like an idiot wheeling one of those around when I've got two boards on there.

I mean, no one's ever, like, made a snide comment or given me a weird look or something (well, not for that reason, anyway) when doing this, but it's one of those things where I feel like there's some secret more dignified way to do this that people just aren't saying.

Torn between my desire to cook good food for the people and my desire not to work any harder than the bare minimum if they're going to keep up with this "no taking food home" bullshit

Every time I walk my dog, after the halfway point and we start heading back to the house she starts reeeeeeeally taking her time, sniffing every little thing, walking as slow as she can and trying to take every single turn. It's cute that she doesn't want the walk to end but dam girl I need to get home.

After my workout today, I kind of realized that I finally have reached the “otter” class of male body types. For straight people, imagine a twink but somewhat older with body hair (some muscle and/or chub is optional.) It’s kind of one of the less regulated terminologies but it’s roughly the “true neutral” on the twink, bear, hunk axises.

Good shit, I want more muscle and to see abs, but I’m getting there and I think I look pretty good. My only “fault” I give myself is being skinnyfat, but that can be solved by keep doing what I’m doing.

Realizing one of the reasons I have such a hard time finding emojis on here is that if I see a reaction image a lot ill think Ive seen it as an emoji and get confused when I cant find it

I fucking hate Smogon and the council. I play Gen 3 OU on Pokemon Showdown, and for some reason the people in charge of banning things are just so far up their own asses that they're looking at banning a legitimate strategy (speed pass) but are choosing to have accuracy lowering moves not banned for some reason. It's so uncompetitive. I've been getting shit on all night by the most annoying strategy ever and for some reason the council members laugh at the thought of banning it, and will do everything they can to try and keep it in the game even though only people who want to fucking ruin other people's nights use this bullshit strategy. What the fuck.

And I rarely get heated over online games, normally I just take my Ls and move on because I'm not that good, but holy shit there's nothing I can do about these dumbass sand attack users, it's like you just instantly lose the game to the most ridiculous bullshit imaginable

I wish I weren't so afraid of spiders. There seem to be more & more appearing in my house every year, probably because I neglect the yard....I can deal with daddy longlegs chillin in their corners, and like the super itty bitty ones that are the rice of a piece of couscous but ANYTHING bigger than that.....I just CANNOT. I get goosebumps just thinking about them scared

My cat seemed to have killed one that was probably larger than golfball sized while I was gone. I would have withered away if I saw it alive. I also hallucinate the feeling of bugs crawling on me so once I think of them I cannot stop feeling them on me.

Satellite says theres a fire detected upwind of me, I check it out and its coming from a landfill / dump (most likely burning trash.) At least 20 points better AQI upwind of the dump than the area where the wind is dispersing the smoke. 🤦
