Anyone got any good websites to read about Rosa Luxemberg?

[IndependentCitizen]

I've heard her name pop up a few times, and after a quick wikipedia search, she sounds like an admirable person; and I'd like to know more.

Cheers!

The marxist library as posted has most of her works. If you are looking for more about her, and an overview of her views, a good read would be Paul Frolichs biography of her, simply titled "Rosa Luxemburg". Doubt you could find it in online text though, you'd have to get the book...but it is really good if you become interested in her.

Also, this thread should be moved to Websites.

While we're on topic, what is the best work of Rosa's to get if you could only get one?

Thanks, I would have thought her ideas would have came under Theory, but if it needs to be moved, so be it. Pay-day is soon, so I think I'll fork out for a decent read. Thanks for the recommendation.

That's not easy to answer...lol

Let's see...The Mass Strike, Junius Pamphlet or Reform or Revolution...but to be honest, I enjoy The Russian Revolution and Marxism or Leninism? SO any one of them really...in terms of theoretical worth...The Mass Strike, Reform or Revolution and Accumulation would be tops I believe.

I've yet to read Accumulation of Capital, but have went through Paul Frolich discussing it in the Luxemburg bio.

You can't make me decide! Never!

Don't worry a mod will move it, if they see fit to do so.

My reasoning is that, since you are asking for websites, websites would be appropriate. If you were inquiring on her stance in regards to centralism, reformists, etc. here would be good.

Anything further I can help you with in regards to Luxemburg and her theory, let me know. I may not be the most knowledgeable, but I'll do my best.

Spanish Luxemburgists have their own web page DEMOCRACIA COMUNISTA (RED LUXEMBURGUISTA INTERNACIONAL) (http://www.democraciacomunista.blogspot.com/)["Communist Democracy (International Luxemburgist Network)"].

That's the issue, I keep hearing her name, but have no idea what she stood for, or wrote. So, I'll read on that website then get back to you :D

Good to see another person interested in RL. She was a very strong, extraordinary woman indeed, one of the true heroes for the workers in history.

That she was. As well, she was not a Left communist or libertarian socialist. Nor would she have been...I feel the need to say that...

:D

:p I identify myself as a Libertarian commie because its principles most closely resemble my own, but like any self-respecting revolutionary I put the interests of the workers ahead of everything else, and all these different tendencies are just labels at the end of the day. All leftists should work together, that is the important thing. I have no idea what leftist branch Rosa was, I just know I agree with most of her work and what she stood for.
