The German Revolution

                                                      The German Revolution


      
  In the second essay, "What Does the Spartacus League Want," written in December 1918 only a month before she was murdered , she lays out the goals of the doomed revolutionary movement. Again she stresses the importance of experience for the development of the masses, and again returns to the ideas of spontaneity and organization:

From dead machines assigned their place in production by capital, the proletarian masses must learn to transform themselves into the free and independent directors of this process. They have to acquire the feeling of responsibility proper to active members of the collectivity which alone possesses ownership of all social wealth. They have to develop industriousness without the capitalist whip, the highest productivity without slave drivers, discipline without the yoke, order without authority. The highest idealism in the interest of the collectivity, the strictest self-discipline, the truest public spirit of the masses are the moral foundations of socialist society, just as stupidity, egotism, and corruption are the moral foundations of capitalist society.

   I chose this passage because it describes today's world to a T. This whole corrupt system with the rich ruling and contradicting themselves on their so called compassion for the lower and middle class. Not only do they promise the babies of this country a good life for fighting for their country. But, with in their reasoning behind why these children are fighting and dying due to their, lies, greed and deceit, the ones who do make it out realize that all they were promised were a mere lie! 
   This is our what country have been doing to our youth. Great example; the twin towers. No other country had a thing to do with the collapse of those three towers. Yes I said three. Because if anyone has done their research on the collapse they would have learned what really happened. But, here we go again! The capitalist want what is not theirs for the taking. America is basically out of natural recourses and that also explains why they made it their priority to proclaim such concern for Cuba. Compared to much of the known lands by America, Cuba is like a virgin and, that man named the United States of America wants her more than ever.  
   This passage would make me go on forever but, think about this, this did not just come about. They have been raping, riches, youth, societies, intellect and races, from the beginning of time. It's now the question of what are we the 99 percent going to do about it?
