This paper aims to elucidate Rosa Luxemburg´s views on workers’ councils. This vision, deeply influenced by the events of the German Revolution (1918-1923), manifests itself in the councils, which are the incarnation of Rosa’s ideas about socialism. For her, socialism and democracy cannot be separated. Also, revolution and the socialist society need to be projects led by the popular masses. Thus, Rosa views the councils as a real and possible solution for the construction of socialism. However, it must be noted that her ideas were immersed in contemporary events, allowing her only to suggest the councils as a viable alternative. A more elaborate reflection was not possible for Luxemburg, mainly on account of her murder at an early age, in January 1919Downloads
