- Title
Rosa Luxemburg and the Global Violence of Capitalism.
- Authors
Le Blanc, Paul
- Abstract
Rosa Luxemburg's pungent honesty is evident in her critical-minded and 'unorthodox' analysis of the economic expansionism of imperialism that arose out of the accumulation of capital. Despite an idiosyncratic reading and critique of Marx's Capital, she sought to defend and advance the revolutionary perspectives of classical Marxism. Criticisms and counterpoised analyses offered by Rosdolsky, Bukharin, Lenin, and Robinson have not diminished what are generally seen as brilliant contributions. Militarism, war, and inhumanity are perceived as essential to imperialism in her analyses, and imperialism is seen as central to the nature of capitalism. Luxemburg's account of global economic development reflect impressive economic insight, historical sweep, and anthropological sensitivity that impress critics as well partisans.
