Rosa Luxemburg was one of the most eminent of Marxist theorists, famous for supporting a democratic socialism, less authoritarian than the Soviet model, but no less strident. This seminal essay offers her views on the Russian Revolution of 1918 and still has much to offer the modern reader. In her words, "Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element."
