Sorry, I didn't complete the sentence. Luxemburg did a similar thing to Lenin, Supporting the Spartacist uprising in 1919 even though she and her faction suspected it was unready and pushed for delaying in at least 6 months. Uprising failed (though only just, the SPD had to ally with reactionaries to prevent it), she was killed.
That's true, it does depend on the nature of the crackdown, and overall on the ability of the Vanguard to radicalise demoralised reformist members of the revolt.
Fucking shit take from the French. Lenin supported the Anarchist revolt even though it lost. As did Luxemburg and it cost her her life.
But if you do support spontaneous revolts even when you think they fail, people join your cause, and you are ready for next time.
What's the connection between the anarchist revolt and Luxemburg's murder? I don't know very much about her history.

The SPD might be the second worst political party in history that I know of.
That's very doubtful as a universal statement.
