What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Rosa Luxemburg several times between 2016 and 2026, almost always in the same way: as the Spartacist leader murdered in the streets of Berlin1. The passages do not deal with her thought or her writings, but with the circumstances of her death. He stresses that she was massacred while the police answered to a socialist2. He specifies that this murder took place under the responsibility of a socialist, not a Nazi3. In 2026, he names Noske as responsible and recalls that she was lynched together with Karl Liebknecht4, whom he elsewhere presents as her comrade in struggle5. This reminder comes up in sessions on varied subjects: Lenin, aesthetics and politics, Europe and war, and neo-fascism in connection with Michel Clouscard. From one session to the next, he insists on the same point: the responsibility of a socialist government for her death.
