The “Macho Concept of Struggle” Is Not Revolutionary

Others, Rosa Luxemburg continues, with �weak nerves� might not worry�

But as far as I�m concerned, such a mode of operation – with the word �little bird� being thrown in on top of everything – to me that�s an insult, to put it mildly. Add to that the crass, heavy-handed instructions: Do such-and-such with Adolf [Geck], conduct yourself in such-and-such a way when you visit Lavrov, stop doing this or keep doing that – when it�s all put together it leaves a single, indelible impression on me, a feeling of uneasiness, fatigue, exhaustion, and restlessness that comes over me in moments when I have time to think about it.

Where are the revolutionaries? Where are the revolutionary men and women? What Left movement would permit the struggle of more women to provide protection for their children in war zones, to locate water not contaminated by U.S. oil companies, and to feed children with virtually no income (as I witnessed in Ethiopia) while their governments receive millions for the development of armies and surveillance technology? Or would Luxemburg consider the Left�s contentment with the so-called �sexual revolution� a victory for humanity?
