In this essential pamphlet, Rosa Luxemburg explains the centrality of mass strike action as a step in the transformation of working class consciousness and the overthrow of capitalism itself. She brilliantly explores the connections between economics and politics, local and national action, and makes the case for militant class struggle. Luxemburg savages the conservative mentality and strategy of the trade union bureaucrats, who fear the mass strike almost as much as the bosses.
This session will cover the debates that surrounded the pamphlet and the relevant insights for socialists today.
