The Socialist Party ( and the WSM ) since its foundation has advocated that the liberation of the working class would be done by the working class themselves without any leaders, and it was the same conception advocated for Marx and Engels through their whole life, and it was the center of their writings versus the conception of leadership and cadres propagated by the bolsheviks and its followers. I stick my gun to that conception
I thought I would check with the original German of what Luxemburg wrote and the situation is not that clear-cut. The word that the Australian translator translated as “economics” is Nationalökonomie which literally means “national economy”, the word then in use to mean fir instance the subject studied at university.
This was the word Engels and Marx had used in their early writings (1840s) and which they later called “political economy”. In fact in some translations Nationalökonomie which they used has been translated into English as “political economy”.
There is another German word Wirtschaft which can also be translated as “economics” and which Luxemburg also used. It is a sort of literal translation of the Greek word from which “economics” is derived, ie rules of house-keeping.
What Luxemburg said would disappear in socialism was Nationalökonomie, which is obvious in one sense as with capitalism would go the study of how it works (and ideological justifications for it).
There is also a German word Naturalwirtschaft used to describe an “economy” where money is not used.

There is a good translation of the works of Rosa Luxembourg to English ( 4 volumes ) made by Peter Hudis and Kevin Anderson both are fluently in the German language. The word used by Adam means economy, business and industry
The Complete Works of Rosa LuxemburgThose leftwing organizations continue believing that the capitalist state is financed by the working class instead of being financed with capitalist surplus value. The post war boom is already gone, and capitalists want to provide less surplus value for the state apparatus and its agency, wage are just the necessary means to keep the stave alive
Probably, they have not read Marx and David Ricardo about taxation, Inter class capitalist conflicts is not an issue for the working class .
They are also the ones who motivated workers to believe that they are one paying for the social services provided to the undocumented workers by the state agencies, that is the preferable topic of the populists right winger leaders
Some workers can not even pay their own rent, and buy grocery, and workers do not finance wars either, and they do not bail out banks and financial institutions, the capitalist state saved them with Fictitious capital
Capitalists invest money in out shores sources and tax haven in order to cheat other capitalists and obtain higher profits, they always cheat other, workers do not have to get killed, or beaten by the police in the streets fighting for that problem
If their leader known as Leon Trotsky was confused his followers are more confused too. Trotsky never knew what socialism really is, but Stalin did know what socialism really is, but all of them opted for state capitalism and the vanguard party to lead, and bourgoise nationalism
Israel has continued dropping bombs and killing civilians in the Middle East after the so called peace agreement was signed and after the government of Syria was overthrown.
There are reports indicating that some Nazis generals did not want to destroy Paris during WW2 and Israel has destroyed Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and several historical places in the Middle East, and they have killed thousands of civilians, and they continue taking more territories. Probably the slogan from the river to the sea is applicable to them
In errors some German pilots bombed London and England responded bombing Berlin and Hitler was surprised about the attack, although some historians are saying that both reports are not true, but I think that the Zionists are as bad as the German Nazis
‘Concentration Camps’: Border Czar Says Trump to Detain Migrant Families
“Decent people all over the world will hate this country… and they should,” said one critic.
JESSICA CORBETT
Dec 26, 2024Adding to alarm over U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration plans, his “border czar” toldThe Washington Post in an interview published Thursday that the administration plans to return to detaining migrant families with children.
Tom Homan, who served as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first term, said that ICE “will look to hold parents with children in ‘soft-sided’ tent structures similar to those used by U.S. border officials to handle immigration surges,” the Post summarized. “The government will not hesitate to deport parents who are in the country illegally, even if they have young U.S.-born children, he added, leaving it to those families to decide whether to exit together or be split up.”
Yes, I know this, but I still suggest you listen to the radio programme on Navalny.

I have read, listened and heard about him and others leaders, but I do not guide myself based on leadership, pro capitalist politicians, patriotic, liberators, benefactors, or presidential candidates, and most of the so called Putin opposition Russian leaders do not have too much differences with the present leadership
The Socialist Party said this about him:
In Colombia and Mexico journalists are frequently killed when they raise critiques against the state and its ministers, and they use professional killers known as ‘Sicarios”. More than 165 journalists have been killed in Colombia and 163 in Mexico, some have been killed in fronts of others peoples, and some in others places have been killed at the Raido/TV station while they were broadcasting . Social activists have been killed . too. The biggest terrorist around the whole world is capitalism and the capitalist state
It looks like religion freedom in Syria is going to be eliminated. Syria was the last secular society in the Middle East. This article was published in Telesur

He is also talking about taking over Canada, and he is calling Governor to the prime minister of Canada.During the 1930 there were plan to invade Canada ( after the treaty of 1814 )
He has not said anything about Puerto Rico who was called by one of his admirers an island of garbages, but they did not say that when thousands of Puerto Rican died in WW1, WW2 and helped to develop the textile industry in sweat shop in New York, and the island and adjacent islands were military bases.
Most of the inhabitants of the island of Vieques were affected by the noises of the target practice for atomic attack and the use of lead and depleted uranium, chemical contamination and some marines animal mutated.

At the beginning of Millei presidency he said that he was not going to make deal with communists in regard to old agreement made between the Peronists government and China, and new agreement under his government, but as a right wing demagogue the situation is changing, it was just parrot talking. Chile which is close to Argentina border is the backdoor of Chinese commercial deal in the southern part of South America. The real threat for the USA ruling is not the Chinese influence in the Panama Canal, the challenging is commerical routes
This Chinese economic expansion did not take place during the Cold War. The real influence of the Soviet Union was ideological and thru gerrillas groups, the influence of China in the Caribbean is thru commercial agreements
The main objective of the Soviet Union in Cuba was sugar cane production.
The allegations made by Donald Trump about China controlling the canal are not valid. China is building its own commercial route by creating the Peru megaport . The real Chinese influences is thru commercial trade which is around 480 billions dollars and getting closer to the USA commercial trade

Inter class disputes for world market
As the world waits to see how the return of Donald Trump will reshape relations between Washington and Beijing, China has just taken decisive action to entrench its position in Latin America.
Trump won the US presidential election on a platform that promised tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese-made goods. Further south, though, a new China-backed megaport has the potential to create whole new trade routes that will bypass North America entirely.
President Xi Jinping himself attended the inauguration of the Chancay port on the Peruvian coast this week, an indication of just how seriously China takes the development.PS: There are rumors that China might also build a Megaport in Central America
