| Summary | "The Future Belongs to the People" by Karl Liebknecht is a collection of speeches and writings, edited and translated by S. Zimand, from the aftermath of World War I, likely written during the early 20th century. The book serves as a testament to Liebknecht's resolute stance against militarism and imperialism, emphasizing a socialist revolution that mobilizes the masses for political and social change. It explores themes of justice, democracy, and the working class's role in shaping a new future. At the start of the work, the reader is introduced to Karl Liebknecht, a prominent socialist leader who openly opposed the prevailing governmental and military ideologies of his time. The opening portion details the sentiment of a crowd gathering in Berlin to support him following the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm as revolutionary fervor surges through Germany. It outlines Liebknecht's historical context, including his initial alignment with the government's war efforts, followed by his deepening resolve against militarism and his later condemnation of the Social Democratic majority that chose to support the war. This foundation sets the stage for a discussion on the need for a new international socialist movement, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing the masses to reclaim their power and drive societal change.
