Luxemburg summary

Cards (4)

  • Human nature (Luxemburg)
    Not been damaged to the extent that Marx alleged. Fraternity and altruism still flourish in working class communities punished by capitalist economics
  • State (Luxemburg)
    Existing capitalist state must be destroyed by revolution, but one arising from state action. Replacement state should be a genuine democracy, complete with free speech and free elections
  • Society (Luxemburg)
    Capitalist society is class-ridden and morally indefensible. Alternative societies do exist within downtrodden proletarian communities
  • Economy (Luxemburg)
    Capitalism is more resilient than Marx allowed. Necessary destruction and replacement by an economy based on workers' control will require determination and solidarity among the proletariat
