Rosa Luxemburg

501 books909 followers
Rosa Luxemburg (Rosalia Luxemburg, Polish: Róża Luksemburg) was a Marxist theorist, philosopher, economist and activist of Polish Jewish descent who became a naturalized German citizen. She was successively a member of the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, the Social Democratic Party of Germany(SPD), the Independent Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party of Germany.

In 1915, after the SPD supported German involvement in World War I, she co-founded, with Karl Liebknecht, the anti-war Spartakusbund (Spartacist League). On 1 January 1919 the Spartacist League became the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). In November 1918, during the German Revolution she founded the Die Rote Fahne (The Red Flag), the central organ of the Spartacist movement.

She regarded the Spartacist uprising of January 1919 in Berlin as a blunder, but supported it after Liebknecht ordered it without her knowledge. When the revolt was crushed by the social democrat government and the Freikorps (WWI veterans defending the Weimar Republic), Luxemburg, Liebknecht and some of their supporters were captured and murdered. Luxemburg was drowned in the Landwehr Canal in Berlin. After their deaths, Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht became martyrs for Marxists. According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, commemoration of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht continues to play an important role among the German far-left.

Super petit livre, Rosa Luxemburg était vraiment vraiment incroyable. Elle a une écriture et une verve super percutante.

Le bouquin est écrit dans le cadre d'une controverse avec Bernstein, leader de la tendance réformiste du SPD. Si on y trouve un argumentaire assez implacable sur la question posée par le titre, elle est vraiment ancrée dans cette embrouille et dans l'époque donc il ne faut pas avoir trop d'attente non plus. Mais c'est justement l'association entre sa démonstration et ce qu'elle dit du contexte politique allemand de l'époque (un temps où c'était les reformistes qui se faisaient dégager des orgas communistes snif) que j'ai trouvé ça super intéressant

on fait rarement des diss tracks aussi pertinentes politiquement

je retiens particulièrement l'analyse de l'utilité limitée des coopératives de producteurs/consommateurs à l'ère de la mondialisation et une définition plus fine de la différence de continuum qu'elle fait entre révolution sociale et réforme légale
