Even a hundred years after her violent death, the words of Rosa Luxemburg from her work "On the Russian Revolution" resonate, stating that it is about the dictatorship "of the class, not of a party or clique..., i.e., in the broadest public sphere, with the active and unrestrained participation of the masses, in unrestricted democracy." Even enemies must be granted the freedom of political expression. She directly called for socialist paths to the socialization of production. So far, there has been no coherent analysis of how these ideas developed in Rosa Luxemburg and what contradictions shaped them. Michael Bries' work places Luxemburg's lived and vibrant socialism at the center.
