Abstract

This polemic of Rosa Luxemburg with Eduard Bernstein over the Second Moroccan Crisis is a good example of the growing schism in the attitude towards imperialism between the left and right wings of the SPD. It is also notable as a stepping stone in Rosa Luxemburg's developing view of capitalism as a search for third-party markets outside the capitalist world to realise surplus-value (the innermost essence, the core, the whole meaning and content of the policies of the imperialist capitalist countries is the continuous and incessant tearing apart of all countries and peoples so that they can be gradually devoured and digested by capitalism) and as a defence of the native peoples' rights in their fight against imperialism - a matter of secondary concern to most European socialist politicians, who were worried above all about preventing the outbreak of a war between the major imperialist powers. Keywords:Eduard Bernstein; Proletarian World Policy; Rosa Luxemburg; Second Moroccan Crisis
