It was written in criticism of the ideas presented by Eduard Bernstein, a proponent of more gradual change or \"reform\" as opposed to orthodox theories of revolution as espoused by Marx and Luxembourg. At the age of twenty-seven, she had established herself as a major figure in the \u003cem\u003eSecond International\u003c\/em\u003e by offering one of the most comprehensive criticisms of Bernstein's revisionist call to prioritize the method of reform over that of revolution. A close friend and collaborator of Engels, a Marxist of impeccable credentials but also a pioneering advocate of gay rights, Bernstein was also the first to articulate a non revolutionary path to socialism in what is widely considered the founding text of modern social democracy: \u003cem\u003eThe Preconditions of Socialism and the Tasks of Social Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e (1899). At stake in Bernstein's dilemma, she argued, was not just a tactical choice, a mere discussion about this or that method of struggle; it was the \"very existence of the Social Democratic movement\" as a distinctive force in the struggle against capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosa Luxemburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684225140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684225149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Rosa Luxemburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043036328191,"sku":"9781684225149","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3b84626-64bd-42a8-be75-cd079f14a056.jpg?v=1684964909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reform-or-revolution-rosa-luxemburg-9781684225149","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
