The Die
Linke (Left
Party)-affiliated Rosa Luxemburg Foundation wants to play it safe. It
relies not on historical pro-Soviet or Marxist left traditions but
instead promotes a “new left”. The foundation is named after a
world-renowned icon of anti-capitalist movements whose identity is
bound with communist and anti-imperialist ideas. But the members of
the Foundation’s leadership recommend to the left a convergence
with the ‘liberal imperialism’ of the global hegemon, the USA.
Understandably,
this requires some political flexibility. Progressive forces should
not plant themselves on one side or the other of competing
imperialist powers, says the Facebook page Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung
Ukraine.
It demands that the “independent left” distance itself from the
NATO-EU bloc, on the one hand, and from Russia on the other hand.
