In Memory of Rosa Luxemburg

March 9, 2021 by Web Editor

The Workers’ International Network celebrated the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rosa Luxemburg (5th March 1871) with a special meeting.

While still a teenager, Rosa organised a general strike in her native Poland. Having migrated to Germany in 1897, she moved the historic resolutions at the Socialist International’s 1907 Stuttgart Congress and 1912 Basel conference pledging resistance to the coming world war. Later, along with her comrade Karl Liebknecht, she founded the Spartakusbund, precursor of the German Communist Party. Jailed for the duration of the war, she was released in November 1918 following the German revolution, and just two months later, under orders from the renegade SPD ministers Ebert and Noske, assassinated together with Liebknecht by the right-wing Freikorps death squads (precursors of the Nazi SA).

Today, we face the choice exactly as Friedrich Engels foresaw it a generation ago: either the triumph of imperialism and the collapse of all civilization as in ancient Rome… or the victory of socialism. Today we can seriously set about destroying capitalism once and for all… Our solution offers the only means of saving human society from destruction.
