"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I obviously need to read more about her once I have the time. But so far it seems like her material conditions were very different than those of lenin which led to some discussuions, partly on the national question and libs famously use her as a stepping stone to discredit the bolschewiks but i'll have to find that.
Being used by others for something doesn’t constitute being that. I can understand why you’d think that though. Although she did discredit the bolsheviks, it was simple dialectics.
Why dont you make the effort to actually educat yourbcomrades instead of this barely good faith argument? It feels very different from the usual way of discussing things here. If you state something, prove it.
I think the wording "discredit" is not correct in this case. I don't wanna discuss the whole Russian revolution analysis by Luxemburg, which she wrote in prison btw. But when I read the latter and also her works I always saw her as a critical friend. She was a Marxist and a Socialist and she would only formulate her critique from a place of admiration and sincere conviction. Her critique is never not out of a Marxist perspective.
