Reform or Revolution
Rosa Luxemburg
Luxemburg, at twenty-eight, against Bernstein's case that socialism could arrive by gradual reform. She was murdered twenty years later.
Why you should read this
Luxemburg's polemic against Bernstein's revisionist socialism, arguing that trade union and parliamentary gains cannot substitute for revolutionary change to the system producing inequality. Useful background for tracing the reform-versus-revolution split inside the socialist movement, written before the split hardened into rival parties.
