John Marot explains how Luxemburg’s ideas of revolutionary democracy developed in light of the German Revolution.
In a new book, Russia scholar Lars Lih sees a basic continuity in Bolshevism from 1903 to Stalin. John Marot argues that party history was marked instead by major turns—first toward socialist revolution and later a break away from it.
John Marot argues that the politics of the Third International, formed in 1919, did not just carry forward the positions of the Left wing of the Second. The Russian Revolution of 1917 changed what the Left thought about workers’ power.
