Rosa Luxemburg

Hey party people!
Several members have expressed a desire to take a break from PhilAnon this week. Therefore I feel completely comfortable exploiting our usual meeting time to feature a 20 minute documentary about the life and politics of socialist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg, one of the most important figures of 20th century Europe murdered by the proto-Nazi Freikorps in 1919. We will then watch an interview with the editor of Luxemburg's multi-volume collected works, Peter Hudis, that explores her thought in greater depth. Important for discussion will be the ways Luxemburg's politics contrast with those of Leninism and Social Democracy, the relationship between capitalism, socialism and democracy, as well as what it means to live passionately and bravely in the service of human emancipation.

Nobody has to be a deranged soap box street preacher like myself. Nobody has to think like I think. This is a free discussion for all minds. Lets boogie.

Your Lord and Savior
