I created this community because I had not seen discussion of Rosa Luxemburg yet on this platform. A platform is needed to discuss the transition to proletarian democracy and approaches to achieving Luxemburg’s view of communism.

      I’m no luxemburger, but I did find this podcast to be insightful. Maybe they have the explanation you’re looking for.

          Yes. Luxemburg argued for a complete dictatorship of the proletariat instead of a dictatorship of the vanguard which aims to serve the proletariat.

      She was a democratic communist but not like western demsocs. Key word communist bs socialist. She was still more of a contemporary revolutionary as opposed to modern democratic’ reform ideology, who believed in a proletarian democracy through a revolution and giving power to workers’ councils.
