what type of idiot hates rosa?
I suspect a bit because of the One Piece profile pic but who knows
what?
why would that make them hate rosa
You expect their politics are good because they have an anime/manga profile pic?
One Piece fans either have really good politics or really bad politics with little in-between
TIL that Rosa Luxemburg was not born in or near Luxemburg.
Always sounded sensible to me before, also because of the proximity of Luxemburg to Trier, the birthplace of Marx...
Everyone knows that all communists spring forth from the soils of the Rhineland

a brutal way to find out you're not a communist like you thought but just a liberal like the rest of the site 
VOLITION [Easy: Failure]
Don't worry... We will find the real communist someday
Joke's on you, as I've been born in the Rhineland.
My favorite pub was just 100m down the road from Marx's birthplace :-)
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Legendary: Failure]
We've done it! We've found the only real communist!
Perhaps you misunderstood. I am not Marx ;-)
Although I know a few Marxes, as it is a really common name in the region...

The French Senate is located inside the Luxembourg Palace in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
Yes, where the name is based on the former owner of the area François de Luxembourg, member of the Maison de Luxembourg, which originated from (and ruled over) Luxembourg during the middle ages.
Typically there is some direct connection.
I wouldn't be so sure if there really is no direct connection between Rosa Luxemburg's surname and the country of Luxembourg. Rosa Luxemburg's family "probably" moved to Poland from Germany a century or so before she was born, according to Rosa Luxemburg scholar Dr. Rory Castle Jones; and every surname origin site I can find says that Luxemburg is a Yiddish toponymic surname for someone from A Place Called Some Variant of Luxembourg, seemingly most commonly That Luxembourg You're Thinking Of.
Now granted, surname origin sites aren't the best source out there, so I'm of course not going to assert that Rosa Luxemburg's ancestors must've come from That Luxembourg… But insofar as Rosa Luxemburg's family tree before the 19th century is described in "probablys" more than in given names, then the possibility is there, right? With centuries of poorly-attested Ashkenazi migrations eastward, including expulsions of That Luxembourg's historically large Jewish community, it isn't hard for me to imagine.
Yes, I would also tend to go with the Occam's Razor approach here...
TIL Lars of Trier also isn't from Trier
But he is a nazi with strange ideas about consent whi pals around with pedophiles!
