| dbo:abstract | The Mass Strike, the Political Party and the Trade Unions is a 1906 booklet by Rosa Luxemburg that evaluates the events of the 1905 Russian Revolution, poses them as an analogy for German socialists to learn from, and argues for a political mass strike. It was translated into English by Patrick Lavan and published by The Marxist Educational Society in Detroit in 1925. Notably, in this booklet Luxemburg concluded that the spontaneous development of mass movements are important to a successful revolutionary movement, a perspective known as the Luxumburgism of spontaneity. She bases this viewpoint from her observations of the Russian Revolution where spontaneous mass strikes strengthened the readiness for action and the creativity of the proletariat. She argues that a mass strike did not need a perfect or complete socialist organization to exist before taking action. It is also one of the leading works urging socialists to take an offensive position, positing the political mass strike as an example. Mass Strike contributed to the discourse by linking economic and political conflicts together, a perspective that continues in discussions among modern socialists. In 1921 Karl Radek claimed that The Mass Strike was the first document of German communism, stating "With this pamphlet begins the separation of the communist movement from social democracy in Germany." This argument has been called "elliptical" but "not untrue". (en) |
