"That alone," Luxemburg writes," is democracy"!

 

"That alone is not a betrayal of the people."

 

The business of these rulers cannot become a distraction, but let them serve as a jolt to return us to our work!

 

Leave "parlimentarism," as Rosa Luxemburg would say, to the bourgeois class. It is their game--supporting "the well-known illusions of current opportunism as we have come to know it" ("Organizational Question of Russian Social Democracy").

 

Let us not be fooled by "the ambitious castaways from the bourgeoisie" who offer to lead the people to a new and better world!

 

What do people do with the contempt hurled against them?

 

Occupy!



[1] War of the Roses

[2] The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Gramercy Books, 1997.
