I, for one, never denied that Luxemburg wrote about the political economy
of militarism. Karl Liebknecht, another co-leader of the Spartakists, also
wrote extensively on militarism. Luxemburg's work, however, attempts to
ground militarism theoretically in terms of political economy and
imperialism, whereas Liebknecht's writings are more popular and
descriptive.
