GOMEZ VELAZQUEZ, Natasha. From Marx to Rosa Luxemburg: Self-Constitution and Self-Emancipation of the Revolutionary Subject. Estudios del Desarrollo Social [online]. 2020, vol.8, n.2  Epub Aug 10, 2020. ISSN 2308-0132.

This essay studies the theory of the revolutionary subject in Karl Marx and Rosa Luxemburg. Both saw in the proletarian class the subject of the revolution and explained the need for their self-constitution and self-emancipation through their own political experience and not through processes of enlightenment. They considered that the proletariat did not need an external leadership or master, since in that case it would remain in the condition of an object. This thesis is different to that posed by Lenin, who identified in the Party the subject of the revolution.

Keywords : Enlightenment; object of the revolution; party; subject of the revolution; vanguard.
