I just checked again and I was right. At the first vote, August 1914, only one Reichstag deputy, an SPDer, abstained from voting. Fritz Kunert. On 3 December 1914 Liebknecht was the first to vote against war credits. On 20 March 1915, Rühle joined Liebknecht.

And yeah, in comparison, all 5 Bolshevik deputies in the Duma came out against the war since day 1. By December 1914, they were all locked up or exiled to Siberia for their efforts.

Comrade:

I don't believe that's true. The first vote for war credits was in August 1914, and none of the anti-war SPD members in the Reichstag(I believe there were 14 SPD members of the Reichstag who explicitly came out against the war, including Liebknecht, in August 1914) dared to violate the Fraktionsdisziplin policy(which was initially adopted to prevent the right-wing minority from voting against the majority Center and the Left and thus emberassing the party) and so all of them voted for the credits/loans. Then the second vote was in December 1914, and Liebknecht was the only one who voted against war credits. Rühle abstained, and I suppose at least a few other anti-war SPDers did as well but I'm not sure. Rühle joined Liebknecht in voting against war credits in March 1915, I guess this was the 3rd vote.
