if rosa luxemburg were in charge of the soviet union in 1921, she would have responded to the krondstadt mutiny by having every single anarchist in russia publicly executed. the weird perception of her as a "softer" or "more palletable" choice than lenin is so far from the truth. rosa luxemburg was also significantly more "dogmatic" than bordiga was. she rejected things like natlib and trade unions far more thoroughly than he ever did. if she hadn't been murdered by fascists she'd be far more hated by both mls and anarchists for sure. and to be clear, i like her and say none of this in an attempt to bury her

Luxemburg, like most Marxists of her generation (as well as Karl Marx himself) held that a democratic republic with universal suffrage was the formation best suited for waging the class struggle to a successful conclusion. Like many of her contemporaries in the Second International, she saw no contradiction between fighting for democratic reforms within capitalism while reaching for a revolutionary transformation that would abolish capitalism — even as she relentlessly battled those who separated the two.

We social democrats have a much simpler and easier task: today we need only work to direct the class struggle, which has been inflamed with inexorable necessity. The Blanquists tried to drag the masses behind them, whereas we social democrats are today pushed by the masses. The difference is great – as great as that between a sailor who strives to realign the current to his boat and one whose task is to hold the line of a boat carried by the current. The first will never have enough power and will fail in his goal, while the second must only ensure that the boat does not deviate from its route, is not broken on a reef or beached on a sandbank.

Clearly no social democrat falls for the illusion of the proletariat being able to maintain itself in power. If it could, it would lead to the domination of its working class ideas and it would realise socialism. But it is not strong enough at this time, for the proletariat, in the strictest sense of the word, constitutes a minority in the Russian empire. The achievement of socialism by a minority is unconditionally excluded, since the very idea of socialism excludes the domination of a minority. So, on the day of the political victory of the proletariat over tsarism, the majority will claim the power which the former has conquered.

Concretely, after the fall of tsarism, power will pass into the hands of the most revolutionary part of society, the proletariat, because the proletariat will take possession of all posts and keep watch over them until power is placed in the hands of those legally called upon to hold it – in the hands of the new government, which the Constituent [Assembly], as the legislative organ elected by the whole population, is alone able to determine. Now, it is a simple fact that it is not the proletariat that constitutes a majority in society, but the petty bourgeoisie and the peasantry, and that, as a consequence, it will not be the social democrats who form a majority in the Constituent, but the democratic peasants and petty bourgeois. We may lament this fact, but we will not be able to change it.

The basic error of the Lenin-Trotsky theory is that they too, just like Kautsky, oppose dictatorship to democracy. “Dictatorship or democracy” is the way the question is put by Bolsheviks and Kautsky alike. The latter naturally decides in favor of “democracy,” that is, of bourgeois democracy, precisely because he opposes it to the alternative of the socialist revolution. Lenin and Trotsky, on the other hand, decide in favor of dictatorship in contradistinction to democracy, and thereby, in favor of the dictatorship of a handful of persons, that is, in favor of dictatorship on the bourgeois model.

Show me one example of multinational states working out. Even Lenin admitted independent nation states are better developed than multinational ones
>The example of the Balkan states likewise contradicts her, for anyone can now see that the best conditions for the development of capitalism in the Balkans are created precisely in proportion to the creation of independent national states in that peninsula.
>Therefore, Rosa Luxemburg notwithstanding, the example of the whole of progressive and civilised mankind, the example of the Balkans and that of Asia prove that Kautsky's proposition is absolutely correct: the national state is the rule and the "norm" of capitalism; the multi-national state represents backwardness, or is an exception. From the standpoint of national relations, the best conditions for the development of capitalism are undoubtedly provided by the national state. This does not mean, of course, that such a state, which is based on bourgeois relations, can eliminate the exploitation and oppression of nations. It only means that Marxists cannot lose sight of the powerful economic factors that give rise to the urge to create national states. It means that "self-determination of nations" in the Marxists' Programme cannot, from a historico-economic point of view, have any other meaning than political self-determination, state independence, and the formation of a national state.

The latin meaning of proletariat is those who bear children. Marx uses it to mean the class which self-reproduces itself through capitalist conditions (by having children). Workers.

The climax of the class war, as conceived by the Syndicalists, is the "general strike." Having sufficiently demoralized industry by a long process of "direct action" and having converted enough of the workers for
their purpose, the Syndicalists will call the general strike. Before leaving the factories the workers will destroy the machinery by wholesale sabotage; the railways and other forms of transport will hkewise be ruined; and economic life will thus be completely paralyzed. The result will be chaos, which will give the Syndicalists their opportunity. In that hour the organized Syndicalist minority, leading the frenzied, starying masses, and

I agree bro. Syndicalism is the true (national) socialism. Sorel was right when he understood that the workers' movement is about freedom itself, not communism.

Dialectically, the "being" of a thing is in its qualitative distinction from common quantitative conditions. Apples and oranges are both fruit, but in themselves, they are totally different.
I see subway and see an irrelevant and useless mode of production, while you see the economy in your materialist perspective as something inherently rational, where everything is about profit and efficiency (this is another link between liberals and communists).
>Leftist social and welfare policies (that rightists often steal) do work precisely because it comes from a scientific socialist framework.
Sure, we steal from you, but you cant steal our nationalistic sentiments, which is why you can capture the "proletariat", but youll never capture the "people". Again, quantitative vs qualitative concepts.

>working class, exclusively by its own effort, is able to develop only trade union consciousness, i.e., the conviction that it is necessary to combine in unions, fight the employers, and strive to compel the government to pass necessary labour legislation, etc.
In my opinion what he really means is that when they know there is no opposition leader (representative of the radical wing in media so that everybody knows it's a real person and not a single militant schizo, and he will satisfy demands when come to power) they are less tend to think revolutionary way as sole rebels can't really change anything.

Modern day proletariat are retail workers as they are the majority of labourers and are harshly expoitated. But it is silly to say they would seize means of production meaning they will hold actual groceries.
After the Industrial Revolution (1750–1850), by the mid-19th century the great expansion of the bourgeoisie social class caused its stratification – by business activity and by economic function – into the haute bourgeoisie (bankers and industrialists) and the petite bourgeoisie (tradesmen and white-collar workers).[2] Moreover, by the end of the 19th century, the capitalists (the original bourgeoisie) had ascended to the upper class, while the developments of technology and technical occupations allowed the rise of working-class men and women to the lower strata of the bourgeoisie; yet the social progress was incidental.
So it's bankers and industrialists who run the society and revolution target, but it's inevitable that the poor will try to seize the riches' (middle class) property and wealth either.

the only reason fascists were able to ever get away with that shit is because those angry mobs were deputized by the bourgeois and their police lackeys. the idea of some populist fascist uprising is a fucking myth, its a part of the legitimizing ideology of fascist movements sure, but without having elements of a divided ruling class on your side that kind of mob violence is swiftly crushed by cops. childish fantasy from people who want to pretend they dont kowtow to power whenever it matters, even though their entire ideology is about finding permission to indulge infantile sadism

>>1820033 my favourite Rosa trivia is that she thought the German Revolution was premature and spoke out against the notion, which we know from history to have been correct, but she's held up as a martyr as though the revolution was her idea and would've worked if it hadn't'a'been for the mean old SPD. communists can skip the awkward reflection on their foolhardy adventurism - no no, that was quite proper - our real mistake was that we didn't hate the socdems enough. well, we shan't make THAT mistake again.

Workers movement lacks civilian protest (due to the belief it is a bernsteinian thing) and civilian protest (an actual one), usually organised by an interest group, is basically seen by this group as a "performance", not a poilitical action.

It's not some mere coincidence they are the way they are. It's their own explicit doctrine of being antisocial and transgressive. And this expands beyond O9A and even esoteric hitlerist movements. The neo-Nazi movement openly glorifies sadistic destruction and horror, so it's going to continue attracting those people.
