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

“Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them.”

“The narrative fallacy addresses our limited ability to look at sequences of facts without weaving an explanation into them, or, equivalently, forcing a logical link, an arrow of relationship, upon them. Explanations bind facts together. They make them all the more easily remembered; they help them make more sense. Where this propensity can go wrong is when it increases our impression of understanding.”
