Brosa Luxemburg

interesting, ill take a look into him.

I know some bordigists, but I haven't gotten around to reading him.

From what I gather, he seems to be an influential left comm.

I hope to read his work at some point.

Haha, I hear it a lot. That she was an anti-leninist...

Yet:

"My dearest Vladimir,
I am making use of the journey of uncle to send you all warmest greetings from our family, [The Spartakusbund] from Karl [Liebnecht], Franz [Mehring] and the others. May God grant that the coming year will fulfil all our wishes.
All the best!
Uncle will tell you about our circumstances and activities. In the meantime I press your hands and send you my greetings.

Rosa"

She didn't show Kautsky that kind of friendliness.

or

"Whatever a party could offer of courage, revolutionary far-sightedness and consistency in an historic hour, Lenin, Trotsky and all the other comrades have given in good measure. All the revolutionary honor and capacity which western Social-Democracy lacked was represented by the Bolsheviks. Their October uprising was not only the actual salvation of the Russian Revolution; it was also the salvation of the honor of international socialism"

So true.

I've always been adament about distancing her from the "Left communist" or "libertarian socailist" label. Even though I consider left comms and lib socs my comrades!

She mentions "Socailist democracy begins...at the very moment of the seizure of power by the socialist party". Which isn't something you hear from a lib soc/left comm, even in Luxemburg's sense of class conscious workers and not a centralized vanguard of intellgentsia.

Certainly.

Thank you, I enjoy yours as well. Gotta keep the roosterists close :P
