About this listen

Reform or Revolution, also titled Social Reform or Revolution?, is an 1899 pamphlet by Polish-German Marxist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, in which she argues that trade unions, reformist political parties, and the expansion of social democracy could not create a socialist society as Eduard Bernstein, among others, argued. She contends from a historical materialist perspective that capitalism is economically unsustainable and will eventually collapse and that a revolution is necessary to transform capitalism into socialism. The pamphlet was influential in revolutionary socialist circles and an important precursor to left communist theory.

The book is a must-read, truly a Marxist classic. Luxemburg takes Bernstein's ideology apart brick by brick, until there is nothing left of his arguments. Very dense prose, something new to find with every re-read. Beautifully written.
The narrator, unfortunately, mispronounces many words and takes on an out-of-place, comically mocking tone a few times. It's very strange and takes you by surprise. It's not the worst narration I heard, but a book this good deserves correct pronunciation and a cohesive tone.

Brilliant book
