The self-discipline of the social democracy is not merely the replacement of the authority of bourgeois rulers with the authority of a socialist central committee. the working class will acquire the sense of the new discipline, the freely assumed self-discipline of the social democracy, not as a result of the discipline imposed on it by the capitalist state, but by extirpating, to the last root, its old habits of obedience and servility.

More From Rosa Luxemburg

The dominant, almost general, idea of revolution - particularly the socialist idea - is that revolution is a violent change of social conditions through which one social class, the working class, becomes dominant over another class, the capitalist class. it is the conception of a purely physical change, and as such it involves only political scene shifting and institutional rearrangements

The struggle for socialism is the struggle for proletarian (working class) democracy. proletarian democracy is not the crown of socialism. socialism is the result of proletarian democracy. to the degree that the proletariat mobilizes itself and the great masses of the people, the socialist revolution is advanced. the proletariat mobilizes itself as a self-acting force through its own committees, unions, parties, and other organizations.

The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. subjectivism about moral values is eternally incompatible with democracy. we and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. but if there is no law of nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation.

The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

Bourgeois class domination is undoubtedly an historical necessity, but, so too, the rising of the working class against it. capital is an historical necessity, but, so too, its grave digger, the socialist proletariat.

I was convinced that worship at its best is a social experience with people of all levels of life coming together to realize their oneness and unity under god. whenever the church, consciously or unconsciously, caters to one class it loses the spiritual force of the "whosoever will, let him come, doctrine and is in danger of becoming a little more than a social club with a thin veneer of religiosity."

I don't need to get any validation by someone else who sits next to me in first class. if you think a seat in first class makes you a star, then you're not one.
