NEW JUNE COURSE! For Rosa Luxemburg, civilization faced a choice: “socialism or barbarism.” But how to actually achieve socialism was the driving preoccupation of Luxemburg’s life.
Economist, journalist, politician, and streetfighter, Luxemburg threw herself into the great debates that roiled the international Marxist movement. She was a vociferous critic of parliamentary reformism, developing instead a singularly powerful internationalist and mass participatory theory of socialist revolution centered on the mass strike.
She debated Lenin on problems of political organization and was the first to warn against the authoritarian degeneration of Bolshevism. An acute political economist, she wrote what stands as the first major Marxist attempt to grapple with the centrality of imperialism to the global capitalist system, The Accumulation of Capital.
Over two decades of intense political and theoretical activity, she earned the admiration of her allies, the begrudging respect of her adversaries, and the mortal hatred of her enemies (who murdered her in 1919). To this day, Rosa Luxemburg continues to inspire leftists all over the world. But her theoretical and political legacy is also haunted by the failure of the political project she championed.
How can we understand Luxemburg’s theoretical and polemical work in the light of the collapse of socialist revolution and internationalism? Is Luxemburg’s revolutionary vision, encapsulated in her famous slogan, still plausible today, with liberal democracy under siege by the reactionary and neo-fascist far-Right?
“Socialism or Barbarism: an Introduction to Rosa Luxemburg (Chicago)” with @drifting_still starts Tuesday, June 9th at @haymarkethouse
This course is offered at a reduced cost in partnership with @haymarketbooks . Please visit the Haymarket website in order to enroll.
