In the long series of entanglements between fascists and Berlin "security authorities" (DVD reported), another incident has occurred. Accompanied by the nice greeting "Dear AfD deputies, enclosed is an expert opinion of the Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution on the AfD Berlin", an internal document of the Verfassungsschutz (domestic intelligence) was forwarded to the right-wing party. The 43-page letter then also certifies the AfD's loyalty to the constitution and rejects its assessment as a suspicious case.

On January 11, the police in Singen arrested an 11-year-old Sinto without any justification and, according to the boy, also threatened murder in broken Romanes. Alone the act of arresting a child is illegal in Germany.

On Saturday, January 11, the young Sinto was checked in front of his home for no reason. There the officers found a small legal pocket knife and thereupon handcuffed him and took him to the police station, where he was stuck for an hour and could not even tell his family why he had disappeared.
The cops spoke to him in broken Romanes and said they knew his "gypsy" family. After that they said that the "Mulo" would come for him, which can be translated as death. This should leave no doubt as to the motivation of the act.

This is to be seen as part of the fact that the police are always trying to test the limits of what is socially acceptable and thus expand their possibilities. By terrorizing the children of our class, they want to intimidate the deepest and broadest masses, those who have the most reason to make revolution.
This time, although they have clearly acted against the law and, in addition, have gone so far as to cause an uproar in the bourgeois press, it cannot be expected that this behavior will be seriously punished by the state. The ruling class will probably not want to get rid of good henchmen.

The comrades of Rote Presse have informed us that issue 35 of the Rote Post is online. Furthermore, they have also informed us that after the latest issue reaches them, they will publish the respective previous issue. The latest updated issue can be found here.

After Angela Merkel offered the help of the army to the federal states, a massive additional contingent of soldiers will be deployed once again in Baden Württemberg, as in many other states.

In Baden Württemberg alone, up to 900 soldiers will be deployed across 68 missions. Some until the beginning of July and two of unlimited duration.
The gains the state wants to make from this are manifold:
-first, the Bundeswehr as compensation for the ailing health care system, since it was not considered necessary to take care of the health care system even since the beginning of the pandemic. Here the Bundeswehr, there some state of emergency, all mobilizations to temporarily cope with the next challenge. The German state is not at all in a position to guarantee adequate health care for the population.
-Secondly, the reputation of the Bundeswehr is to be raised again. It should be seen as a helper. As if that would make up for the fact that it murders abroad for the economic interests of the imperialists.
-third, the deployment of the Bundeswehr in the interior is normalized. The masses are gradually accustomed to ever greater presence in order to normalize the state of emergency and keep down rebellion against it.
-fourth, the armed forces of the German imperialists take on informer tasks, in this case contact surveillance "in the sense of fighting the pandemic." In this way, the Bundeswehr takes on areas in which it has no business and gains access to data that is otherwise denied to them for good reason.
No matter how "reasonable" the stated reason may seem at first: we don't need soldiers on the streets, but more nursing staff and a health care system that serves us and not the bosses.

 

After the comrades of Rote Presse made the effort to scan the newest issue 18 of the Magazine Klassenstandpunkt, which contains a response to the “criticism” of the German Maoists, we publish an unofficial translation of the preface of the response. We think this is of further use for comrades developing work in imperialist countries, especially to grasp the issue of the front.

The comrades of Rote Presse have informed us that they have put the current issue of Klassenstandpunkt online. In this issue, the comrades from the editorial board of Klassenstandpunkt have, among else, written a response to the article of "Kommunistischer Aufbau" on Maoism.

Here we publish pictures of a graffiti in honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Friedrich Engels, which we received.

In recent months and years, an increasing erosion of democratic rights can be observed in the FRG, which can be seen not least in the new police laws and currently especially in the so-called Corona measures. The current curfew and the de facto abolition of the inviolability of the home are just two of many examples. But in addition to this open reactionary approach, the state also takes a rather pragmatic unofficial approach to its own legislation.
