though how a Soviet system could honour the founder of Luxemburgist communism is beyond me.

They did that all the time.  They went out of their way to honor every known German communist.  When they ran out of them, they found some socialists.  And when they ran out of *those*, they cherry-picked certain older figures from German/Prussian history that may have had somewhat liberal viewpoints for their time.  E.g., the East German army had medals named after Gneisenau & Scharnhorst.

With all the Luxemburgists dead the Stalinists can steal their thunder. Just like they stole Marx' thunder.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

There are still wonderfully named streets in East Berlin.  I loved KarlMarxAllee (renamed from StalinStrasse) and RosaLuxemburgPlatz - though how a Soviet system could honour the founder of Luxemburgist communism is beyond me.

I liked how East Germany regularly arrested people in RosaLuxemburgPlatz for quoting Rosa Luxemburg.

Sure, most Northerners are virulently racist,
And the further north you go, the more virulent the racism.

If you take all of northern Canada, I'm in the minority.
