Tufts & Co. Cogito Series What happens when a movement built on justice and equality turns its back on its principles? In The Crisis in the German Social-Democracy , Rosa Luxemburg delivers a scathing critique of the German socialist leadership during World War I, exposing their betrayal of internationalism in favor of nationalism and militarism.
