January is a month of cruel anniversaries for the international working class. That is the month, in 1919, when the German reactionaries took Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht into a military murder-car and shot them to death in Berlin, in the hope of decapitating the head of the German revolutionary movement. It is also the month, in 1924, when the working class movement throughout the world was stupefied and inexpressibly grieved at the report that Lenin, genius of the great Russian Revolution, had died, after a long illness
Militant, class-conscious workers have for many years commemorated the lives and work of these titans of thought and action during Lenin-Liebknecht-Luxemburg week. In memory of these three leaders of the international socialist revolution, we publish below selected excerpts from their writings.
