She was opposed to one party totalitarianism (i.e. No vanguard party)

>Freedom only for the supporters of the government, only for the members of a party – however numerous they may be – is no freedom at all. Freedom is always the freedom of the one who thinks differently. Not because of the fanaticism of "justice", but rather because all that is instructive, wholesome, and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effects cease to work when "freedom" becomes a privilege.

One of those ideologies that never assumed power that smarter Marxists cling to so they can't be held responsible for the failures of Marxism-Leninism.

>you can't blame the Soviet Union on people like me because I am a Luxemburgist/Anarcho-communist/Libertarian municipalist etc

Luxemburgism is democratic revolutionary socialism. Social democrats want to reform capitalism, democratic socialists think that socialism will be achieved in elections. Luxemburg was more radical, but still anti-authoritarian

>Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element. Public life gradually falls asleep, a few dozen party leaders of inexhaustible energy and boundless experience direct and rule. Among them, in reality only a dozen outstanding heads do the leading and an elite of the working class is invited from time to time to meetings where they are to applaud the speeches of the leaders, and to approve proposed resolutions unanimously – at bottom, then, a clique affair – a dictatorship, to be sure, not the dictatorship of the proletariat but only the dictatorship of a handful of politicians, that is a dictatorship in the bourgeois sense, in the sense of the rule of the Jacobins (the postponement of the Soviet Congress from three-month periods to six-month periods!) Yes, we can go even further: such conditions must inevitably cause a brutalization of public life: attempted assassinations, shooting of hostages, etc. (Lenin’s speech on discipline and corruption.)"

Luxemburgism is Leninism with democracy.

The great debate within Marxist thinkers is what exactly the "dictatorship of the proletariat" should resemble. The word dictatorship is today synonymous with autocracy, but Luxemburgists and other self-described left communists routinely use it to mean a system of governance in which one group determines policy.

In Luxemburg's eyes, the current political system is a "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie", bedside the wealthy determined policy. In the early 20th century that was absolutely true. Governments, many of them only recently capitalist, were doing everything in their power to promote investment. To Rosa Luxemburg, this was not democracy. Even today, many would argue that a choice between a plutocrat and a robotic product of the system is not a democracy, especially when both candidates are billionaires supported by other billionaire.

Rosa Luxemburg believed that instead of being an authoritarian despotism as Lenin preferred, the dictatorship OF the bourgeoisie should be a democracy FOR the bourgeoisie. For all people who do not wish to exploit, the dawn of a new socialist morning would bring freedom rather than restriction. What Rosa envisioned was expressly more democratic than the political framework of the German Empire, because Rosa's "dictatorship" would allow the common man a far greater voice in the government that represents him.

In short, Luxemburgists believe a transition from capitalism to socialism can and must be democratic. Even if Lenin's revolutionary vanguard leads the charge, policy must be made with the consent of the governed. Because how can a state call itself a workers' paradise if the workers are even further alienated from the organs of politics than they were under bourgeois rule?
