In a government where democracy is allowed to work, one of the principles that is normally entrenched is a feedback system, a discussion between those who formulate policy and those who must perceive, accept or reject policy. In other words, there must be a system of education - political education - and this does not necessarily go with literacy.
- Steve Biko

Since its founding in 1990, the foundation’s work has adhered to the legacy of its namesake, German socialist leader Rosa Luxemburg, and seeks to represent democratic socialism with an unwavering internationalist focus.

It stands in tradition of the workers’ and women’s movements, as well as anti-fascism and anti-racism.
