Τι ζητάει ο Σπάρτακος. Γράμματα απ' τη φυλακή
Η οργάνωση Σπάρτακος δημιουργήθηκε από τη Ρόζα Λούξεμπουργκ και το σύντροφό της Καρλ Λήμπκνεχτ, αμέσως μετά την έκρηξη του Α΄ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, σαν αριστερή πτέρυγα του Σοσιαλδημοκρατικού Κόμματος της Γερμανίας. Το κλίμα τρομοκρατίας της εποχής και η δραστηριότητα των μελών της οργάνωσης, είχε σαν αποτέλεσμα να βρεθούν τα κυριότερα στελέχη της στη φυλακή. Εκεί έγραψε, η Ρόζα Λούξεμπουργκ, τα γεμάτα ανθρωπιά γράμματα μέχρι την απελευθέρωσή της από τον επαναστατημένο λαό το Νοέμβρη του 1918. Το κείμενο "Τι ζητάει ο Σπάρτακος" υιοθετήθηκε από το ιδρυτικό συνέδριο του Κ.Κ. Γερμανίας, που έγινε δύο μήνες αργότερα, ως κατευθυντήριο όργανο της πολιτικής του δράσης.

About the author
Rosa Luxemburg
495 books886 followersRosa Luxemburg (Rosalia Luxemburg, Polish: Róża Luksemburg) was a Marxist theorist, philosopher, economist and activist of Polish Jewish descent who became a naturalized German citizen. She was successively a member of the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, the Social Democratic Party of Germany(SPD), the Independent Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party of Germany.
In 1915, after the SPD supported German involvement in World War I, she co-founded, with Karl Liebknecht, the anti-war Spartakusbund (Spartacist League). On 1 January 1919 the Spartacist League became the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). In November 1918, during the German Revolution she founded the Die Rote Fahne (The Red Flag), the central organ of the Spartacist movement.
She regarded the Spartacist uprising of January 1919 in Berlin as a blunder, but supported it after Liebknecht ordered it without her knowledge. When the revolt was crushed by the social democrat government and the Freikorps (WWI veterans defending the Weimar Republic), Luxemburg, Liebknecht and some of their supporters were captured and murdered. Luxemburg was drowned in the Landwehr Canal in Berlin. After their deaths, Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht became martyrs for Marxists. According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, commemoration of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht continues to play an important role among the German far-left.
