    Such an enlightening talk. Thank you Marie Ma'am. I read about Rosa a few days ago, and was impressed. This is what brought me to a youtube search and then, this video. Most leftists forget that leftism is also about liberty, free speech, rationale, discussion, and they end up being devotees of philosophers and leaders almost in a spirit of the right-wing. Such a talk is rare, which is so objective and constructive in its approach. I read that Rosa was against the January uprising and was in favour of contesting the elections. With the revolutionary ideas of revolutionary Spartacist (KPD) but the patience of USPD, she was pragmatic, but I feel that this kind of left her in a lonely spot. So, the takeaway for me was that do the groundwork, build the organization, power from the bottom. Lead struggles for reforms, and then the struggling workers could be educated and led towards socialism. So wonderful to see the picture of Bhagat Singh on the poster in the background. His party HSRA was the revolutionary party, but with his other party Naujawan Bharat Sabha, he sought to mobilize the peasants and workers.

    The old Trotskyist "jail" excuse. She had been to the left of Lenin on matters of organization (party vs council) for 2 decades. Her notes on the Bolsheviks were completely in line with her political views and previously written works. The claims made after her death by a couple of her pro-Lenin comrades that she changed her opinions in the last months or weeks of her life are unconvincing hearsay.

    Bashing Rosa: For when you believe Nazism is better than Communism.

    Great example of courage and dedication. Great resource for a hallucinated Europe that destroyed Nazism, communism, fascism and racism all the principles of humanity, which has given honor to Europe and the whole world.

    The USSR was really a failed experiment, if anything. Leninism was a more right-wing variation of socialism, which emphasized authoritarianism and nationalism, which rosa opposed.
