Abstract
Rosa Luxemburg, a towering figure in socialist theory and praxis, played a decisive role in shaping the German Revolution of 1918–1919. As a Marxist theorist, revolutionary activist, and co-founder of the Spartacus League, her ideology was deeply rooted in orthodox Marxism. However, her belief in democratic socialism, non-violent revolution, and grassroots participation placed her in sharp contrast to Leninist authoritarianism. Luxemburg’s commitment to democracy, social justice, women’s rights, and her staunch opposition to war—particularly World War I—demonstrated her ethical grounding and humanist socialism. This paper examines her multifaceted contributions to the German Revolution and explores how her political thought, especially her advocacy for participatory democracy and opposition to militarism, remains profoundly relevant in the modern world. Despite her tragic assassination in 1919, Luxemburg’s legacy continues to inspire movements for social justice, feminist equity, and peace.
