An important contribution to our understanding of twentieth-century Marxism During the first decades of the twentieth century, Rosa Luxemburg was the leader of the workers' movement in Poland and Germany. She made a remarkable contribution to socialist theory and practice, yet her legacy remains in dispute. In this book Norman Geras interrogates and refutes the myths that have developed around her work. She was an opponent of socialist participation in the First World War and, as Geras shows, her views on socialist strategy in Russia were closer to Lenin's than any other leader's. Geras explores the development of Luxemburg's critique in the period following the war and demonstrates how her thought is distinct from the social democratic or anarchist theories into which it is often subsumed. Geras brings new light to bear on one of the most misrepresented figures in radical history, illustrating her inspiring lack of complacency and her commitment to questioning those in authority on both the Right and the Left.

Whilst it may be argued that the Soviet Union achieve this feat, it can now be seen with what consequences. It is easy to blame Stalin for all the Russian ills: certainly he was incapable of rectifying them but, Lenin had already started to veer from the path before Stalin's leadership.
It is important to remember that this book is almost 50 years old because there is a casual sexism that is rather breathtaking from a current perspective. A good socialist was able to write that Luxemburg's views were perhaps too soft and feminist.
Worth the read anyway... ( )
