Neither a work concerned only with her Marxist writings nor a
personal biography concerned with her private life, this book
examines Rosa Luxemburg's ideas on revolution and democracy and how
the two are bound together by her views on the importance of
political action. Stretching, historically, from 1863 to the
present, this book covers in great detail the history and
developments within the German SPD during her time, the 1905 and
1917 Russian Revolutions, the German Revolution, the outbreak of
World War I and the imperialism that fuelled it. It then moves on
to consider political and historical developments after her death
and examines her arguments on revolution and democracy in the light
of the post-revolutionary government in Nicaragua: the one violent
revolution that sought to establish social democracy (but failed).
Also covered are aspects of Rosa Luxemburg's life, her important
writings and actions, the relevant Marxist debates in which she was
involved, including, for example Bernstein's arguments on social
democracy through reform and, with Lenin, on revolutionary
organization. A welcomed and timely collection presenting an
important examination of the political and social context in which
Luxemburg developed her activities and views and a complete
understanding of the history of social democracy, the revolutionary
times of a century ago and the relevance of their events and ideas
for more recent revolutions for democracy in the twenty-first
century.
