Research Note: Rosa Luxemburg and the Global Violence of Capitalism
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.

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. Le franc parler de Rosa Luxemburg est évident dans ses analyses critiques et ‘hétérodoxes’ de l’expansionnisme économique de l’impérialisme qui a émergé de l’accumulation du capital. Malgré une lecture idiosyncratique et critique du Capital de Marx, elle cherchait à défendre et à avancer les perspectives révolutionnaires du marxisme classique. Les critiques et contre-analyses offertes par Rosdolsky, Boukharine, Lénine et Robinson n’ont pas diminué des contributions communément admises comme brillantes. Dans ses analyses, le militarisme, la guerre et l’inhumanité sont perçues comme essentiels à l’impérialisme et l’impérialisme occupe une place centrale dans la nature du capitalisme. La description du développement économique mondial par Luxemburg montre une acuité économique impressionnante, un sens de l’histoire, et une sensitivité anthropologique qui ont impressionné ses critiques comme ses partisans.
