The calamity that was onset of WW1 split the workers' movement around the world. On the one hand, there were social-democrats, or reformists, that supported their countries' war efforts. On the other, anti-imperialists fighting against the mass slaughter of working class people. I
n Germany, the immense and influential Social-Democratic Party threw its weight entirely behind German militarism, cooperating with the Kaiser in the barbarism, and serving up the working class they represented to the death march. Only a tiny minority of committed revolutionaries were willing and politically able to stand up against this treachery.
This compilation includes writings from the two most important antiwar figures, Rosa Luxemburg with her Junius Pamphlet and Karl Liebknecht with his Militarism and Anti-Militarism.
In today's world of genocidal war, and escalating geopolitical tensions between major powers, these political lessons are incredibly relevant.
