Characters

Karl Liebknecht
primary
A middle-aged man of slight build with sharp, angular features, dark hair swept back, and piercing eyes behind round spectacles. His face bears the marks of recent imprisonment—pale complexion with shadows under his eyes—but radiates intense conviction.
Revolutionary Soldier
secondary
A battle-hardened soldier in his mid-30s, with a wiry but strong build. His face is weathered from years of war, with deep-set eyes and a prominent scar running down his left cheek. His hands are rough and calloused, gripping his rifle with practiced ease.
Factory Worker
secondary
A man in his early 30s, with a wiry frame and calloused hands. His face is lined with exhaustion, yet his eyes burn with hope. He wears a worn-out flat cap, slightly askew, and his stubble suggests days without rest.
Young Revolutionary
background
A lean young man in his late teens, with a gaunt face and intense dark eyes that burn with revolutionary fervor. His unkempt brown hair falls over his forehead, and his cheeks are flushed with excitement. His hands are calloused from labor, but his movements are energetic and unrestrained.

Dialog

Karl Liebknecht Arbeiter, Soldaten, Genossen! Das Kaiserreich ist gestürzt, heute rufen wir die Freie Sozialistische Republik aus! Die Macht liegt in den Händen des Proletariats!
Factory Worker Endlich! Diese Palastmauern haben uns lang genug eingesperrt - heute brechen wir sie auf mit unseren eigenen Händen!
Revolutionary Soldier Waffen bereit halten. Die Offiziere lauern noch in den Seitenstraßen.
Karl Liebknecht Kein Arbeitsfrieden mit den Kapitalisten! Diese Revolution wird nicht halb sein wie 1848 - wir nehmen die Fabriken, die Kasernen, die Presse!
Factory Worker Hört ihr das? Nicht betteln - nehmen! Mein Vater hat noch für Brot demonstriert; ich will den ganzen Backofen!
Revolutionary Soldier Stellung halten. Wenn die Maschinengewehre kommen, müssen wir schneller sein als an der Westfront.
Karl Liebknecht Die Geschichte atmet heute durch uns! Werft die Ketten ab - nicht morgen, nicht nach der Wahl - jetzt, in dieser Stunde!
