Spartacism is a Marxist, anti-war, feminist, and revolutionary ideology based on KPD founder Rosa Luxemburg.
One of the many radical factions within Social Democracy centered around Luxemburg, the Spartacist Left is one of the more centrist-aligned ones. Embracing Social Democracy as the proletariat instead of being the vanguard of the proletariat, the Spartacist Left would advocate for the masses to "reconquer" the mass movements that have fallen to revisionism instead of rejecting those movements. Luxemburg would also believe in the idea of "economism", which assumes that capitalism will collapse through mechanic and economic factors that don't include the proletariat.
History
A bit on Rosa herself
Rozalia Luksemburg or Rosa Luxemburg was born to a Jewish family in Poland in 1871, in the area occupied by Russia. She went to an all-girls' school in Warsaw which rarely permitted either Jewish or Polish children. She got into left-wing politics in her teenage years by the means of joining the "Proletariat Party" at the age 15.
She later moved into Germany and gained citizenship through marrying a German guy who she wasn't really all that much interested in and later divorced. She joined the Woman's section of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).

- Italian Left Communism - You have a deep and thorough understanding of Marx unlike any other, but please get out of your armchair once in awhile.
- Bundism - Secular Jewish Socialism? Seems based.
- Trotskyism - Your supporters uphold me a lot, and the theory of degenerated workers state is a great expansion on my ideas.
Frenemies
- Leninism - Too anarcho-syndicalistic and you’re a bit too much of a "Stirnerized Proudhonian", but I had high hopes for the revolution which sadly didn’t turn out well.
- Council Communism - I don't know why Paul Levi kicked you out after my death, but Ruhle kept insulting me in the KPD congresses.
- Democratic Socialism - We both believe in a fair society, but you can't get it through liberal democracy. Liberal democracy is built against us. Also quit hanging out with my killer.
- Libertarian Marxism - I AM NOT YOU! You are just a semi-anarchist and utopian fool who wants to badly claim me for your ideology!
Wait, you like my criticisms of Lenin?
Enemies
- Capitalism - You call us unfair, while paying your workers so little?
- Stalinism - Gravedigger of communism! And you have the gall to call me a semi-Menshevik and a revisionist while being both of those yourself and even more so?
- Khrushchevism - Stop destroying what Marx planned. Your "reforms" took the USSR even further away from Marx's vision.
Your "we will bury you" speech to the West was based, though. - Liberal Feminism - Women's liberation is about ending exploitation, not diversifying the oppressor class.
- Social Democracy - 1) Electoralism doesn't work 2) You are a bourgeois fake socialist traitor. 3) You are a fake social democrat who stole my f*cking name 4) YOU DAMN RAT MURDERED ME!!!!!!
- Freikorps - REEEEE!!! You murdered me!!!!
- Reformist Marxism - HOW MANY TIMES??? ELECTORALISM DOESN'T WORK!!! I WROTE ONE OF MY GREATEST WORKS JUST TO DUNK ON YOU!!!
- Nazism - YOU MURDERED ELEVEN MILLION PEOPLE! SIX MILLION OF THEM JEWS! Your ideology is pure evil.
- Ordo-Liberalism - You outlawed my party less than a decade after the USSR defeated the Nazis. As far as I'm concerned, you're one and the same.
- Syndicalism - "Antagonism between purely proletarian elements and the nonproletarian intellectuals in the labor movement is raised as an ideological issue by the following trends: the semianarchism of the French syndicalists, whose watchword is “Beware of the politician!”; English trade-unionism, full of mistrust of the “socialist visionaries”; and, if our information is correct, the “pure economism,” represented a short while ago within the Russian Social Democracy by Rabochaya Mysl (Labor Thought), which was printed secretly in St. Petersburg."
- Reactionary Socialism - Marx and Engels pretty much destroyed you back in the 19th century. And deservedly so.
- Blanquism - Goddamn elitist! You hate the general strike, you hate Marxism, and you hate the worker directly managing themselves, you populism-hating faker!
- Anarcho-Communism - "Anarchism has become not the theory of the struggling proletariat, but the ideological signboard of the counterrevolutionary lumpenproletariat, who, like a school of sharks, swarm in the wake of the battleship of the revolution. And therewith the historical career of anarchism is well-nigh ended."
