Rosa Luxemburg

By Leo Gura - May 20, 2026

Nice little bit of Marxist history.

But I have an alternative analysis of this. Rosa Luxemburg was foolish. She did not understand the situation, which is why she ended up rotting in a canal. It should have been obvious to her that pushing for a revolution would end no other way than with the most bloodthirsty leaders killing all the truly good ones and grabbing power. Just because capitalism sucks does not mean you invented a better system. And of course, the Marxists have not invented a better system, they just ideologically brainwashed themselves into believing they have.

The lesson you should learn from revolutions is that the craziest, most sociopathic players will take control after the dust settles — not the good guys. The good guys do not prevail, the most selfish and unethical do. Which is why you should never be eager for a revolution. Being eager for revolution is as stupid as being eager for war.

Why does it work that way? Because a revolution amps up survival pressure, and survival pressure is what creates evil in the first place. By pushing for a revolution you heighten survival pressure yet you expect goodness out of it? That is the delusion. That is why Rosa Luxemburg was foolish. To think that a devil like Lenin will save you is foolishness. That is the classic deal with the Devil. Rosa Luxemburg wanted a revolution and she got it. But she didn’t live long enough to see the error of her views. She was killed precisely because she was one of the good ones. Good, but foolish about the realities of survival.

It makes you wonder: Are revolutionaries truly brave or are they just too stupid to understand that they are committing suicide?
