Ok my lovelies, let's talk about Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxembourg.

In this book she basically annihilates Eduard Bernstein and the Revisionist theory.

She explains that credit not only aggravates the crises, it also helps to bring and extend them.
Employers organizations - Cartels & Trusts, are created for holding back the fall of profit.

Crises repeat themselves every five, ten, eight or twenty years after all.

Co-operative & trade unions can't suppress the law of wages, they can only oppose technical innovation.
So she concludes that trade unions & co-operatives are the economic support for the theory of revisionism.

Furthermore, all so-called social reforms help the interests of Capital.

Tariffs, customs, the army & the police are the tools of expressing the capitalist interests too.
She denotes that the State is the political organisation of capitalism & the property relations are the juridical organisation of it.

But also that socialism is not bound to liberal democracy, on the contrary, the fate of democracy is bound up with socialism.
Rosa closes by mentioning that the Revisionists want the regulation of exploitation and not the ending of it.

The exploitation of wage labour is not based on laws but on economic factors, she continues.

So how can laws stop it then, I wonder?
Only dialectics and the materialist conception of history can stop them.

Before the unjust wall of capitalism, the only answer is revolution.

For the hammer blow of peaceful revolution, the conquest of political power by the proletariat breaks down the wall.
