So I'm not looking for an ideological debate -- my political past development involves Trotskyism (and some of my best comrades are anti-authoritarian Marxists). My gripe is your scattergun approach to the resharing -- it feels like being shouted at.

I'm gonna love the disentangling of the Luxemburgist/Council Communist dilemma. Are you now a vanguardist or not? Rosa was, the CCs are certainly not.

No. She said that the Bolsheviks bent the stick too far (to use Lenin's aphorism) and stressed spontaneity but never left the idea of the party behind. Why was she setting up the KPD with Leibnecht a fortnight before her murder? Her (perfectly justified) criticisms of Bolshevism/Leninism were quantitative not qualitative.

So I had a hunt round because I wasn't in the mood to write an essay. Lot's of Stalinist and Trotskyist hack jobs, but I stumbled on this, in Dutch (DeepL does a pretty reasonable job): Arbeidersstrijd, revolutie, partij: over Rosa Luxemburg.

Translate it in multiple bits? Well anarcho-communism is where I'm coming from. The point is, for all her legitimate criticisms of how Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution generally. was developing and having a better understanding of the spontaneity of revolutionary processes; until her dying day (literally (the KPD, her joint creation, was less than a fortnight old)) she believed in the party as the vehicle of change (leading the masses (with whatever degree of spontaneity)). That implementing the dictatorship of the proletariat was the mission of the party. Qualitative not quantitative.

I never said she was a Leninist. I pointed out she wasn't. Read the founding documents of the KPD and what that said about the role of the party.

What happened to the military are workers/peasants in uniform and the police are implacable class enemies?
