  Luxemburgism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It resembles anarchism in its insistence that only relying on the people themselves as opposed to their leaders can avoid an authoritarian society, but differs in that it sees the importance of a revolutionary party, and mainly the centrality of the working class in the revolutionary struggle.
While there are presently very few active Luxemburgist revolutionary movements; there is widespread interest in her ideas particularly among feminists and Trotskyists as well as among leftists in Germany.
And for Luxemburgists, these stands against capitalism and for socialist democracy unify two important ideas that are viewed as complementary rather than contradictory.

 the ‘Highland Luxemburgist’ faction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The proposers were nicknamed the ‘Highland Luxemburgist’ faction, after the German-Polish revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg and her habit of putting principle before party discipline.
The ‘Luxemburgists’ were utterly opposed to the Labour Government’s policy of transforming crofting tenure into owner-occupation.
Overwhelmingly, that audience came from the industrial Lowlands and the Central Belt: trade unionists and local officials whose background was in the mines or the steel mills or shipyards.

It resembles Anarchism in its insistence that only relying on the people themselves as opposed to their leaders can avoid an Authoritarian society, but differs in that it sees the importance of building a revolutionary party to lead the revolution and the centrality of the working class in the revolutionary struggle.
Among many socialists, whether they see themselves as Luxemburgists or not, Rosa Luxemburg is seen as a hero that stood up to the barbarism of capitalism and imperialist war as well as standing up to the opportunists that claimed to be socialists.
And for Luxemburgists these stands against capitalism and for socialist democracy unify two important ideas that are seen to be complementary rather than contradictory.

 Solidarity (US) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solidarity's name was originally in part an homage to the Polish Solidarność — Solidarność had been an independent labor union which in Solidarity's view had challenged the Soviet Union from the left.
From the beginning, Solidarity was an avowedly pluralist organization that included several currents of Trotskyists, left-wing Shachtmanites, Luxemburgists, socialist-feminists, and veterans of New Left groups.
Solidarity sought to "regroup" with others to create a large revolutionary socialist and feminist organization.

 INFO OF -Luxembourgism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
In this regard, it is similar to Council Communism, but differs in that, for example Luxemburgists don't reject trade union or election by principle.
However, there is very few active Luxemburgist revolutionary movement; interest in the theory is primarily limited to intellectuals and academics, particularly feminists.
Luxemburgism is a Marxist movement opposed to Leninism, because Luxemburgism intents to fight for revolution and democracy at the same time.

Solidarity was named after the Polish Solidarnosc—at that time an independent labor union that challenged the Soviet Union from the left.
From the beginning, Solidarity was an avowedly pluralist organization that included traditional Trotskyists, left-wing Shachtmanites, and Luxemburgists.
Founded on the basis of far-left regrouping, Solidarity sought to unite with other groups and create a large revolutionary-socialist and feminist party.

 The Political Roots of the ICC's Organisational Malaise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
In the first place capitalism had exhausted all non-capitalist buyers by 1914 according to Luxemburg and yet it continues to grow (albeit it at enormous cost to humanity).
The ICC have evolved a number of debating tricks to wriggle out of the idea that the Luxemburgist analysis is at odds with Marx in several ways.
The first is to quote the Communist Manifesto, written twenty years before Marx completed his scientific analysis of the capitalist system in Capital.

 Organise: Article / The Split in the APCF and Formation of the USM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
While Mattick and Henryk Grossman based their analyses on the 'falling rate of profit' theory, other contributors took up the position adopted by Rosa Luxemburg, who had argued that crises were caused by 'overproduction', the saturation of markets, and the capitalists' inability to realise the profits derived from the exploitation of labour power.
Here we will concentrate on the Luxemburgists' ideas, since these were the ones taken up by anti-parliamentarians in Britain.
The influence of decadence theory was also evident in the first issue of the APCF paper Advance, published in May 1936.

 4.1. Struggles in the Bourgeois State
The first element to consider is the question of "political supremacy".
The conquest of this supremacy has logical and practical consequences which Anarchist Communists have always rejected (as also have, if the truth be told, certain Marxist currents like the Luxemburgists, Bordighists, Council Communists, etc.).
The need to conquer political power, in fact, implies political representation, a party which works within the institutions.

 How the ILP shaped the “IS tradition” | Workers' Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
What in the 1960s would become “the IS tradition”, to which a lot of SWPers and ex-SWPers still refer to fondly with ignorance, was in the late 1940s and through the 1950s the ILP.
Like the 1960s IS, but before them, the ILP were Britain’s anti-Leninist “Luxemburgists”.
The counterposition of Luxemburg to Lenin went back to 1922, when Luxemburg’s lawyer Paul Levi, expelled from the German Communist Party, published her prison writings critical of Bolshevik Russia which she had not chosen to publish.

 Polemic with the CWO: The International Communist Left | International Communist Current
on the question of perspectives: the lack of a clear grounding in marxist economics (Bilan was Luxemburgist) led to erratic and erroneous views on the course of history.
It should be clear that, strictly speaking, Bilan was not Luxemburgist but limited itself above all to the acceptance of the political consequences of Rosa’s analyses (rejections of national liberation struggles, etc).
The Luxemburgist Mitchell was the leading critic of Vercesi’s revisionist theories before the war, and during the war it was the Luxemburgist Marco who corrected the weakest points of Rosa’s economic analyses.

 European Tribune - Comments - CPE climbdown?
On one hand, a short-lived reaction and a temporay shift to the right in 1968.
Deeper and more lasting, it gave a big lift to the non-commie extreme left, in particular to this weird PSU beast, which was ideologically all over the place, starting with Pierre Mendès France to end up with "Luxemburgists".
It was marginal but sufficient to torpedo the mainstream PS and why 1974 and the rallying of the PSU moderates, Rocard et al., to the PS is important as it allowed Mitterrand to slowly neutralize those left to the extreme.

 The Roots of Capitalist Crisis - Part 2
When Marx states "production determines the market, as well as the market determines production" (4), each camp in this debate hears only half of what he's saying.
One side, the Luxemburgists and others focusing exclusively on realisation-problems, can't accept the first half: that production determines the market and that, therefore, an expansion of the scale of production also brings about an expansion of the market.
Contrary to what they think the immanent barrier to market expansion is not static and can't be understood without grasping the dynamics of the production process.

 RevolutionaryLeft.com > Socialist Workers Party...
We had branch meetings with discussion, which I don't think exist anymore and which I think are an important part of being involved in a revolutionary socialist organsation.
I remember going to marxism and talking with Luxemburgists (council communists in Brighton were formally expelled in the late 90's) who were in the SWP and there was a real militant feeling
Then Tony Cliff died and John Rees suddenly started talking about moving out of the Scargill years, which apparently meant what the SWP has now become.

 League for the Fifth International | FI Issue 02
As a result, Negri and Hardt reject defence of the nation even when it is a “mechanism of defence against the domination of foreign and/or global capital.” (p44) They see the defence of the local as meaningless since the global penetrates it so much as to make the distinction irrelevant.
It is clear that they are “Luxemburgists” on this point as well.
One can only resist Empire from within and from a totalising resistance.
