Leninism Or Marxism? Organizational Questions Of The Russian Social Democracy by Rosa Luxemburg

Organizational Questions Of The Russian Social Democracy

A forceful critique of the emerging vanguard model that argues socialist politics must be built as a democratic, mass-based movement rooted in workers’ spontaneous struggles rather than as a small, professionalized elite; it warns that rigid centralism and suppression of internal debate breed bureaucratic detachment from the proletariat and undermine revolutionary initiative, and it defends freedom of discussion, close links to trade-union and workplace struggles, and the autonomy of working-class self-activity as essential to genuine Marxist strategy.
