Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was a Polish-born Marxist theorist, philosopher, and revolutionary socialist who played a key role in the German socialist movement. A prominent figure in the early 20th century, she co-founded the Spartacus League, which later became the Communist Party of Germany. Luxemburg was an ardent advocate for workers' rights and a vocal critic of World War I, believing it betrayed the principles of socialism. Her writings emphasized the importance of revolutionary spontaneity and direct action. Luxemburg was arrested and ultimately murdered during the political turmoil following Germany's defeat in the war, leaving behind a legacy as a martyr for the socialist cause and a major influence on leftist thought.
