Rosa Luxemberg's concept of revolutionary democracy

Monday, October 30, 6:30 p.m.

Speaker: Ottokar Luban, secretary of The International Rosa Luxemburg Society

Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was one of the foremost theorists and activists in the history of the Marxist movement. Her concept of socialist democracy was one of her pioneering contributions, which raises one of the most important questions facing today's radical movement-whether it is possible to transform society without reproducing a rigid separation between leaders and led, thinkers and activists, workers and intellectual.

Ottokar Luban is an internationally recognized scholar of Luxemburg's life and thought who has written an important study of Luxemburg's role in the "Spartacus" uprising of January 1919 in Germany. Mr. Luban lives in Germany and is making a rare Chicago appearance.
