Yes, but at a time when social democratic parties in europe hadn’t quite formally formed or split into discernable socialist factions. The Social Democrats in Germany were in active coalition with monarchist anti-republic paramilitaries and had inherited the government from the abdicating kaiser. The KPD didn’t exist yet, and this was technically an internal critique of the Social Democratic Party of which she was a member.
At the same time, the Social Democrats in Russia included Lenin.
At any rate it isn’t worth giving the freikorps a pass by omission when unearthing conflicts about the SPD.
I think the point is that the points made above came back to bite her, by getting shot in the head and dumped in the river for people who sold out leftism and opened the door for Hitler.
In terms of Bernie, it is pretty valid. All the “democrat socialists” in the US become the representitive of bourgeois government because the US is a bourgeois settler colonial dictatorship. The white “working class” in the US have no revolutionary potential because the white “working class” are petit bourgeois settlers, no different from Israelis, and not part of the global proletariat, they exploit our labor and will continue to do so until it no longer materially benefits them and that doesn’t seem to be coming any time soon. They will sell us all out to save 10 cents on gas and prop their petrostate. readsettlers.org
You know she was murdered by the social democrats, right?

Boiling it down to “Bernie killed Rosa” is not a good response to someone digging into the details of what she wrote.
And while there’s stuff worth considering here, we’re in a radically different situation than she was.

Death to the USA.
I’ve read Settlers and don’t find it convincing. If you found it convincing, why quote someone from another imperial core proletarian movement?
Yep. And that’s exactly why we need to keep electing self-proclaimed socialists.
