Rosa Luxemburg was an outstanding Marxist theorist and activist and a leading figure in the German Social Democratic Party. First published as a pamphlet in 1900, Reform or Revolution is one of the most important of her early works, a powerful and concise statement of the need to build the revolutionary party as well as the day-to-day fight for reforms.
Delivered in Luxemburg's trenchant style, with plenty of what even her enemies had to agree were her brilliant dialectical fireworks, it is a vivid analysis of the struggle to overthrow capitalism. More than a century after Luxemburg's murder, it remains vital reading for all those fighting for reforms and revolution today.
