Lupiesto I ucisk zamiast ubezpieczenia.
[Luxemburg, Rosa]. Łupiestwo i ucisk zamiast ubezpieczenia. Projekty ubezpieczenia robotniczego w Dumie. [Krakow?, no printer], 1911.
8vo.; uncut leaves; printed wrappers; first leaf with two holes (loss of one letter), marginal flaws and lightly spotted.
Extremely rare first edition, issued by the headquarters of Luxemburg’s party S.D.K.P.i.L., of this attack against the reformist plans of the Russian Duma to introduce some sort of worker’s health insurance. Not in Kormanowa; we were unable to locate another copy.
The title Robbery and Oppression instead of Insurance sets the sarcastic tone. The party expresses the view that this promise of insurance is just another means to entangle the proletariat in the Tsarist system of oppression. The final two slogans read “Long live the democratic and independent republic!” and “Long live socialism!”
