#3121 R is for Rosa: Episode 2 – Imperialism and War

Rosa Luxemburg is teaching Marxism to German workers—but Marx wrote Das Kapital 50 years before, and capitalism has changed. Luxemburg writes a book predicting the downfall of imperialism, on the eve of a war in which millions will die. From her prison cell, as she attacks the hypocrisy and slaughter, even some revolutionaries think she has gone too far.
