I think the wording “discredit” is not correct in this case. I don’t wanna discuss the whole Russian revolution analysis by Luxemburg, which she wrote in prison btw. But when I read the latter and also her works I always saw her as a critical friend. She was a Marxist and a Socialist and she would only formulate her critique from a place of admiration and sincere conviction. Her critique is never not out of a Marxist perspective.

She was the first Marxist I read when I was young. A fearless, and intelligent women. Her critique especially on the vanguard party and her conviction that class consciousness has to come through the active struggle by the working class and not only from the outside by said party is something that I think about until today. Not saying I completely agree with her, but there lies truth in her critique when we find ourselves in conditions which are not like early 20th century Russia.
