At the end of World War I, there were attempted socialist uprisings or threats of socialist uprisings throughout Europe, most notably in Germany, where the Spartacist uprising, led by Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht in January 1919, was eventually crushed.
The subsequent formation of the Third International prompted serious debates within social democratic parties, resulting in supporters of the Russian Revolution splitting to form Communist Parties in most industrialized (and many non-industrialized) countries.
With the worldwide Great Depression of the 1930s, it seemed that liberalism and the liberal form of capitalism were doomed, and Communist and fascist movements swelled.

 Spencer
Luxemburg was not an avowed anarchist, but her theoretical criticisms of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and her practical involvement in the spontaneous Spartacist uprising in Germany in 1919 indicate an anarchist disposition.
One such notion is the theory of spontaneous revolution, which was a major feature of nineteenth-century anarchist thought, and which is most closely associated with the name of Rosa Luxemburg.
From Lenin's associate Grigori Zinoviev onwards, Luxemburg's views on spontaneous revolution have been castigated as counter-revolutionary nonsense, and the contrast between the success of the Soviet revolution and the failure of the Spartacist uprising has been cited by Marxists to destroy the legitimacy of anarchist tendencies within radical groups.

It didn’t spread and when attempts were made to spread immediately after the war, with the Spartacist uprising in Berlin, with the Bela Kun government in Hungary, with the Munich Soviet, the workers didn’t support them.
These beliefs would be cleverly disguised and marketed as "fairness, compassion, welfare, the children" making people gradually less loyal to their family, religion or community and eventually transferring that "loyalty" now transformed into "dependency" to the larger socialistic system from which there was no escape or alternative.

While the Red Army's invasion was defeated by Polish forces at the baffle of the Vistula in 1920, the Spartacist, Bavarian Soviet and Hungarian Soviet all failed to gain widespread support of the workers and after a brief time they were all deposed by opposition forces.
There was a Communist Spartacist uprising in Berlin, Germany, led by Rosa Luxemburg; the creation of a Bavarian Soviet in Germany led by Kurt Eisner, and a Hungarian Soviet established by Bella Kun in 1919.
This sense of impending doom was given vivid life by Trotsky's Red Army invasion of Poland in 1919 that was expected to begin the triumphant conquest of all of Western Europe by Soviet Armed Forces allied with local communists in accordance with Lenin's plan.

There are different possible responses to socialist insurrection, in Germany after the Spartacist uprising and the short-lived worker's republic in Bavaria, a generation of the ruling and middle classes was impressed with a fear of revolution and thrashed out violently.
