Rosa Luxemburg

“Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.”

“Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently.”

“Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to Socialism or regression into Barbarism.”

“The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built.”

“The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.”

“Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution.”

“The leadership has failed. Even so, the leadership can and must be recreated from the masses and out of the masses.”

“History is the only true teacher, the revolution the best school for the proletariat.”

“For us there is no minimal and no maximal program. Socialism is one and the same thing: this is the minimum we have to realize today.”

“What presents itself to us as bourgeois legality is nothing but the violence of the ruling class, a violence raised to an obligatory norm.”

“The modern proletarian class doesn't carry out its struggle according to a plan set out in some book or theory; the modern workers' struggle is a part of history, a part of social progress.”

“The fate of humanity is dependent upon the choice of the proletariat.”

“Order reigns in Berlin! You stupid henchmen! Your 'order' is built on sand.”
