The Crisis Of German Social Democracy by Rosa Luxemburg

A forceful polemic against revisionist and reformist tendencies within German social democracy, arguing that parliamentary tactics and gradual reforms betray socialist principles and undermine the working class’s revolutionary potential. It defends class struggle, mass action (including strikes), party discipline and an uncompromising program as necessary to overthrow capitalism and warns that reliance on bourgeois institutions leads to capitulation and nationalist opportunism. The essay stresses internationalism, proletarian self‑activity, and the moral-political urgency of maintaining a clear socialist aim rather than settling for mere administrative improvements.
