The whole road of socialism - so far as revolutionary struggles are concerned - is paved with nothing but thunderous defeats. Yet, at the same time, history marches inexorably, step by step, toward final victory. Where would we be today without those “defeats”, from which we draw historical experience, understanding, power and idealism? Today, as we advance into the final battle of the proletarian class war, we stand on the foundation of those very defeats; and we cannot do without any of them, because each one contributes to our strength and understanding.
...
The leadership failed, but a new leadership can and must be created by the masses and from the masses. The masses are the crucial factor. They are the rock on which the ultimate victory of the revolution will be built. The masses were up to the challenge, and out of this “defeat” they have forged a link in the chain of historic defeats that is the pride and strength of international socialism. That is why future victories will spring from this “defeat”.
“‘Order prevails in Berlin!’” You foolish lackeys! Your “order” is built on sand. Tomorrow the revolution will “rise up again, clashing its weapons”, and, to your horror, it will proclaim with trumpets blazing: I was, I am, I shall be!

I have just noticed that a search on Google for "Rosa Luxemberg" pulls up a scummy anti-semitic site as the first hit. This must change. I know it's spelt wrong but change it must. So here goes Rosa Luxemberg and
Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg and Rosa Luxemberg.
