Although I have some serious disagreements with many of Rosa Luxemburg’s ideas, I find her comments about Bolshevism’s bureaucratization to be quite interesting.

Socialism has become bureaucratized to such an extent that few people can tell the difference between socialism and the power of a parasitic state. The Soviet experiment is not only a failure, but it is a very predictable failure.

Socialists who cannot tell any difference between destroying capitalism and building socialism have effectively become a class of pirates who use “socialism” as their slogan. Given that Islamist ideology is piratical in nature (with its demands for jizya), it should be no surprise that pirates in socialist garb should feel an affinity for Islamist thought.
