Rosa Luxemburg, a prominent Marxist revolutionary, fought for socialism during the turbulent early 20th century. Born in Poland, she became an influential theorist in Germany, opposing capitalism and militarism. Her life was marked by activism, imprisonment, and ultimately assassination in 1919. Luxemburg’s ideas continue to inspire social justice movements today.
