How did the spartacists fail to overthrow weimar republic?

One main group were the Spartacists-the German Communist Party. Being an extremist left wing party, they believed in equality for everyone. Usually, communism wouldn't be a big thing in a country like Germany, but due to the fact that there were many poorer people than before-because of the blockade of German ports-communism seemed like a good idea, as it was in their interests. Of course, this wasn't good news for the richer members of society-who were able to sustain themselves with the help of their wealth. Also, just two years before this uprising, Russia had turned communist. As communism in Russia seemed to be working very well at the time, many Spartacists must have thought that this was a great example to follow. On top of being communist, most members of the Spartacist Party were Jewish and the leader of this party was a woman. Many richer Germans didn't like communists or Jews, so the thought of dealing with them both must either make them feel frustrated or satisfied that nothing will actually happen. Women had no real significance in this period of time, so for a woman to start and organise an up rise, trying to overthrow the current Government and make Germany communist must have been unreal. Rosa Luxemburg and her party tried to overthrow Berlin, but the whole event was very badly organised and they were easily dealt with via the Freikorps. This caused a lot of controversy. Ebert ordered the Freikorps to capture Spartacist members. But instead they murdered Luxemburg and Karl Liebknicht (a co-leader) and illegally disposed of their bodies. Also, Ebert, despite having similar views than those of the Spartacists, he didn't side with them, as he would lose his own power. The Spartacists thought the current state of the country would worsen their already poor lives. They found it unfair that they were possibly working harder and longer than those with inherited wealth or better jobs, but still get paid less. They also thought that the Weimar would even lessen their chances of ever being equal.
