Quote by Rosa Luxemburg

“The self-discipline of the Social Democracy is not merely the replacement of the authority of bourgeois rulers with the authority of a socialist central committee. The working class will acquire the sense of the new discipline, the freely assumed self-discipline of the Social Democracy, not as a result of the discipline imposed on it by the capitalist state, but by extirpating, to the last root, its old habits of obedience and servility.”

Rosa Luxemburg

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

"Atheistic humanism" became inhumanism in the hands of the Fascists and Communists and, in its less malign form in today's European Union, a kind of dehumamism in which a present-tense culture amuses itself to extinction. Post-Christian European culture is already post-cultural and, with its surging Muslim populations, will soon be post-European.”
