    Rosa Luxemburg fut une théoricienne et philosophe marxiste influente, renommée pour sa critique passionnée de l'impérialisme et du capitalisme. Ses écrits présentent une analyse pénétrante des forces économiques et un accent sur l'action révolutionnaire comme moyen de changement social. Luxemburg a souligné l'importance de l'internationalisme et de la lutte des classes pour parvenir à une démocratie authentique et à la libération de la classe ouvrière. Son héritage perdure comme symbole de résistance radicale contre l'oppression.

    • En toute chose, Rosa Luxemburg répugnait à la tiédeur. S'emparant d'un fait divers (l'empoisonnement mortel d'une centaine de miséreux par de la nourriture avariée, dans un asile de nuit berlinois), Rosa Luxemburg dénonce, avec verve et passion, la logique d'un système qui assure dans le même temps la prospérité indécente d'une poignée de privilégiés et jette dans la misère noire une frange croissante du peuple. C'est un certain ordre social qui assassine. C'est l'indifférence générale qui en couvre les forfaits. Un texte d'une actualité brûlante. " Brusquement le spectre horrible de la misère arrache à notre société son masque de correction et révèle que cette pseudo-honorabilité n'est que le fard d'une putain. Brusquement sous les apparences frivoles et enivrantes de notre civilisation, on découvre l'abîme béant de la barbarie et de la bestialité. " (1912) Les "Lettres de ma prison" sont adressées à Sonia Liebknecht, la compagne de Karl Liebknecht.

    • Rosa Luxemburg's response to Bernstein's theories between April 4-8, 1899, highlighted the necessity of reform in the fight against exploitation while critiquing Bernstein's abandonment of the ultimate goal of socialism. She argued that reforms should serve the purpose of social revolution, rejecting the idea of reform as an end in itself. Luxemburg, an influential figure in the European labor movement and Marxism, emphasized the importance of class struggle and the proletariat's role in achieving socialism through the transformation of production relations.
