What do you prefer: Game of Thrones or A Song of Ice and Fire?
I’m currently reading everything I can about Rosa Luxemburg.
I was given a copy of The Essential Rosa Luxemburg which contains Reform or Revolution and The Mass Strike, which has led me to reading her complete works, as well as her biography by Frolich, a book of her personal letters to Leo Jogiches, and Raya Dunayevskaya’s Rosa Luxemburg, Women’s Liberation, and Marx’s Philosophy of Revolution.
I prefer to read fiction, especially fantasy, but I simply do not have the time with how much reading I have to do for research. I was never a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, and as such never watched the adaptation. I didn’t care for his writing, but more than that, for personal reasons I don’t read fiction full of sexual violence.
Should I read Rosa Luxemburg?
I adore her writing. She is super passionate, super clever, and also really loves sick burns. Reform or Revolution is an entire fifty-page shut-down of Bernstein, and she tears the fuck into him. It’s all about how you can’t create socialism through capitalist reform.
If you’re going to give just one bit of her writing a try, I would say the Junius Brochure which she wrote while in prison, and was smuggled out, in which she rails against the senseless inter-proletarian murder of the first World War and calls for an international unity of workers to rise up against the capitalists that send them to their deaths for profit
Very nice. Thanks!
