Rosa Luxemburg’s struggle and the parallels with today
STEVE JOHNSON highlights an opportunity to learn more about the life of the great Marxist theorist and activist
Rosa Luxemburg

ON THE 100th anniversary year of the murders of the outstanding German revolutionaries Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg it is fitting that the London Morning Star Readers and Supporters Group should be having its relaunch with a screening of Margarethe von Trotha’s classic film The Patience of Rosa Luxemburg. 

Morning Star editor Ben Chacko will introduce the film at a showing tomorrow at 7pm at the Marx Memorial Library in Clerkenwell, London, and it will be followed by a question and answer session with Professor Mary Davis.

Born in 1871 to a Polish Jewish family Rosa Luxemburg — or Red Rosa as she became known — became involved in revolutionary activity at an early age and went on to become one of the most outstanding Marxist theoreticians and agitators of the 20th century.
