      Freedom According to a Socialist

      by Rosa Luxemburg (Circa 1916)

       

      Freedom only for the supporters of the government, only for the members of one party- however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. 

      Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. 

      Not because of any fanatical concept of "justice" but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when "freedom" becomes a special privilege. 

      It is clear that socialism by its very nature cannot be decreed or introduced by ukase (mandate). It has a prerequisite a number of measures of force - against property, etc. 

      The negative, the tearing down, can be decreed; the building up, the positive cannot. 

      Only new forms and improvisations bring to light creative new force, itself corrects all mistaken attempts.
