Radhika was invited to address the 2015 ‘International Rosa Luxemburg Conference’ in Berlin, organised by the youth newspaper Junge Welt. Her prescient speech is a sharp but sad reminder of how far the European left has moved from its anti-war commitments since those times.

The post includes the advert for the event, Radhika’s speech, and a marvellous poem ‘Every war is a civil war’, that was read out by the poet at the gathering.
