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.

But in addition to this open reactionary approach, the state also takes a rather pragmatic unofficial approach to its own legislation.

Since 2018 German police in Rheinland-Pfalz is, according to them, „successfully“ using tasers in everyday patrols. From now on (that is, January 2021) these tasers, officially called „Distance Electro Impulse Devices“, this equipment is also to be used for policing three cities in NRW.

The comrades of Rote Presse have informed us that issue 34 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.

We want to share here a report on this year's LLL demonstration on the 10th of January, published on Tjen Folket Media at the Norwegian comrades.

It was already foreseeable: The lockdown is not expected to end on January 31. Chancellor Merkel and Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Kretschmann are pushing to move up the planned talks on an extension.
Kretschmann also wants to determine stricter regulations "as a precaution."
