Quote by Rosa Luxemburg

“Freedom for supporters of the government only, for members of one party only no matter how big its membership may be is no freedom at all. Freedom is always freedom for the man who thinks differently.”

Rosa Luxemburg (March 5, 1871 – January 15, 1919) was a Polish-German Marxist philosopher, economist, and revolutionary. She was a key figure in the German Social Democratic Party and a co-founder of the Communist Party of Germany. Known for her critique of capitalism, theory of imperialism, and advocacy for socialist democracy, she opposed World War I and was imprisoned for her anti-war activities. Luxemburg was murdered by right-wing paramilitaries during the German Revolution of 1919. Her works, including 'The Accumulation of Capital' and 'The Russian Revolution,' remain influential in Marxist theory. more

“We can work together for a better world with men and women of goodwill, those who radiate the intrinsic goodness of humankind. To do so effectively, the world needs a global ethic with values which give meaning to life experiences and, more than religious institutions and dogmas, sustain the non-material dimension of humanity. Mankind's universal values of love, compassion, solidarity, caring and tolerance should form the basis for this global ethic which should permeate culture, politics, trade, religion and philosophy. It should also permeate the extended family of the United Nations.”
