REVOLUTION - Roas Luxembourg (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Rosa Luxemburg was found dead along with her comrade Karl Liebknecht in the Berlin canal in January 1919. Rosa Luxemburg was the first Marxist to recognise the importance of these events in her book, The mass strike, the party and the trade unions. Rosa Luxemburg's major weakness was overestimating how far workers would go spontaneously, or on their own, without a revolutionary party fighting for revolution within the working class movement- especially since the ideological power of the capitalist media and of left-talkers like the SPD leaders is so great. www.worldrevolution.org.uk.cob-web.org:8888 /oldsite/pages/ideas_pages/luxembourg.html   (1487 words)

Vladimir Ilich Vs Rosa Luxemburg in her famous book Die Akkumulation Das Capitals, published in 1913, contradicted Marx and advanced the thesis that surplus value produced in the capitalist sector is realised in the pre-capitalist sector through the mechanism of colonisation of backward regions and countries. Rosa was carried away by the struggle against nationalism in Poland and in her anxiety not to assist the nationalist bourgeoisie of Poland, rejected the right to secession in the programme of the Marxists in Russia. Lenin and Rosa, both being Marxists, were at one on the question that all the major and important economic and political questions of a capitalist society must be dealt with exclusively by the central parliament of the whole country concerned, not by the autonomous bodies of the individual regions. www.cpiml.org /archive/vm_swork/78vladimir_ilich_vs_roja.htm   (2998 words)

Rosa Luxemburg on socialism and objective conditions - an anarchist analysis In general one of Rosa Luxembourg's most useful contributions was a good understanding of what socialism is. She argued that socialism didn't just entail a change in material conditions but also a change in relationships within society, that freedom was a prerequisite for a socialist society. Rosa argues that all the tactical advances of the Russian social revolutionaries arose when there were involvement in periods of struggle rather then from the leadership. Rosa counters that the proletarian preferal for leadership and distrust of intellectuals is not necessarily for Marxist reasons citing among her examples the distrust the English trade unionist has for "socialist visionaries". struggle.ws /wsm/talks/luxemburg.html   (3853 words)

Whereas the killings of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht might possibly have been attributed to the Freikorps and not purely to Noske's policies, the blame for the repression of Mayday 1929 in Berlin lay squarely at the door of Social Democratic ministers and functionaries. bdaugherty.tripod.com /berlin/weimar.html   (3893 words)

Towards a libertarian communism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Following this, I paid more attention to that lightning-quick Process which Rosa Luxembourg had counterpoised to the ultra-centralism of Lenin and the sterile character of his bureaucratic substitutionism. The epoch when I was discovering Bakunin and re-reading Rosa was, in terms of the class struggle, the time of the Hungarian revolution and its savage suppression by Russian tanks. I felt, for my part, less interested in the political about-turns of that attempt at liberation from the yoke of Moscow, because it was charged through with disquieting ambiguities, than by the ephemeral flourishing of the Hungarian workers' councils. flag.blackened.net /revolt/ws88_89/ws29_lib_communism.html   (787 words)
