These ideas and questions, frequently raised in the labour movement today, are not new. Eduard Bernstein, one of Marx and Engels' literary executors and a respected leader of the German Social Democratic Party, argued at the turn of the century for revising Marx's theories "in the light of more recent evidence." Rosa Luxemburg, an outstanding revolutionary figure until her murder in 1919, led the struggle against "revisionism". ''Reform or Revolution'' was Rosa's reply to Bernstein's ideas. | These ideas and questions, frequently raised in the labour movement today, are not new.
