Rosa Luxembourg’s Critical Thought Of Imperialism And Its Contemporary Value

Rosa Luxembourg is an important figure in the German communist movement in the early 20 th century,and her contribution to imperialist criticism can not be ignored.Her theory profoundly revealed the development trend of capitalism and the essence of imperialism,and had a far-reaching impact on the international communist movement.In the view of Luxembourg,the surplus value can not be realized in the anarchy of the market,that is,capital accumulation cannot be realized in the capitalist mode of production,which will lead to a surplus of goods and hinder capital accumulation.Therefore,she believes that capitalism must provide blood to the non-capitalist world in order to maintain its survival and increase profits.However,this has serious consequences for non-capitalist society.The essence of capitalism is exploitation.In order to find new markets and investment areas,capitalists have to take expansion and plunder means to look for colonial and semi-colonial markets.This kind of expansion and plunder will not only bring great influence and disaster to the non-capitalist society,but also lead to the sharpening of international contradictions and eventually lead to war and revolution.When the last non-capitalist region of the world was also capitalized,capitalism was destined to fall apart.Rosa Luxembourg’s profound and thorough analysis of capitalism and imperialism reveals that imperialism is the development stage of capitalism,which brings new opportunities and challenges to the proletariat,and this combination of opportunities and challenges will promote the arrival of the proletarian revolution;imperialism is also the extreme stage of the development of capitalism,with the full manifestation of the nature of imperialism,capitalism will eventually perish.This paper attempts to explore the profound connotation of Luxembourg’s critical theory of imperialism from a new perspective,and puts forward the following new viewpoints.First,taking the "third market" theory as a foothold,this paper proposes to further consider the contribution of Luxembourg capital accumulation theory and improve its theoretical framework;second,this paper considers the critical significance of imperialism reflected by the critical theory of imperialism under the background of globalization,and obtains the reason why the critical theory of imperialism in Luxembourg can stand the test of time based on the comparison between the old and the new.Third,on the basis of taking the positive value of the theory as the main research content,and through the study of its background and theoretical logic,the article explores the theory in today’s increasingly in-depth globalization.For revealing the nature of imperialism and taking the socialist road,what kind of theoretical and practical value,it has a certain degree of criticism and innovation,and can provide readers with new thinking and enlightenment.
