Compilations

     Wow, it’s bad enough to disagree with one popular man (Eduard Bernstein)… but to disagree with two?! Insanity! I can’t help myself though! As many of you may know, many of my hopes were NOT granted… for example, the Revisionist ended up staying in the SPD, to my dismay….and embarrassment. But in 1904, I just had to disagree with the theories of Lenin. I published Organizational Questions of the Russian Democracy in which I argued that Lenin’s thesis is that the party Central Committee should have the privilege of naming all the local committees of the party. It should have the right to appoint the effective organs of all local bodies from Geneva to Liege.… That was a pretty good start, right? I honestly disagreed with Lenin’s views on centralism and said that it was prone to a communist dictatorship. So as of now, my relations with Lenin are quite uncomfortable… I have to admit. I have done some pretty crazy things in the past years. I remember having a terrible view of war in Germany, so I roused a general strike against German militarism/imperialism. In 1907, I went to the Russian Social Democrats’ Fifth Party Day, and guess who I met….. V.I. LENIN. The single most infuriating man ever. Readers, I hope you can empathize with my hatred and pain.

     But all that was the past, it is 1914 now, and recently, there have been nationalistic cries in the Balkans which erupted in war. Now this, the SPD supported and they all voted in favor to agree to a truce with the Imperial government. But what horror! I hated it! Everything I have fought against! Against revisionism! This theory that I have been fighting against since 1899 had triumphed. Worst. Day. Ever. As a result, I am currently organizing an anti-war demonstration in Frankfurt to object to the military conscription and a refusal to obey orders. Although I believe I am doing this for a good cause, there has been rumors going around that I may get arrested for a year… But no matter. This is a chance I am willing to take in order for my voice to be heard.

     Yes, revisionism may have succeeded, but it’s not over for Rosa Luxemburg. Rosa Luxemburg shall conquer all.
