But with the resignation of the Independents from the government, their stance on this question changed as well. Instead of strengthening internal solidity in the Republic, it had the effect of damaging the government’s influence. It was this above all that made the resignation of Haase and his colleagues from the Rat der Volksbeauftragten into a fateful blow to the young Republic. From a collaborator in its construction, Independent Social Democracy soon and for a long time became more or less a helper of those who pursued the opposite. To be sure, the leaders of Independent Social Democracy who had somewhat calmer judgment initially tried to adopt a kind of intermediate position, and acted accordingly in a confrontation that took place only a few days after the change of government, and which initiated one of the bloodiest episodes in the history of the Revolution. This was the uprising of the Communists in the second week of January 1919.
