DEM VOLKE DIENEN

Last week a newspaper called „Die Zeit“ published a series of articles on the topic of economic development and economic distribution within the FRG. In connection with this, they even published an essay entitled “The class is back.“ (like, “we have to talk about classes again“, a long time it was normal to avoid the word “class” and talk about shift instead). What we take for granted is apparently a novelty for the bourgeois press. Why is this topic being taken up now of all times?New studies show what has already been stated in “Klassenstandpunkt 17”: The “middle-class” is shrinking and more and more parts of it are slipping into the ranks of the “precarious” and the “poor”. Reason enough to go into this topic again.

France's Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin recently called for the dissolution of the fascist youth organisation "Génération Identitaire" (GI), the French offshoot of the Identitarian Movement.

A Mahlsdorf private school is making headlines for its connections to fascists and Holocaust deniers. In 2019, for example, Nikolai Nehrling, a videoblogger, was a guest at one of its theater performances, long after he made headlines as a diligent fascist propagandist and was fired from teaching. Most recently, he relativized the Holocaust at Dachau concentration camp, where many communists were tortured and murdered, andmade appearances at Querdenken demonstrations.

In the village of Sulak (Kurdish: Bafê) in south-eastern Turkey, the inhabitants are fighting a debt of one million Turkish liras, which the local peasants are now supposed to pay themselves for a water pump bought for the village 20 years ago. Meanwhile, the electricity to run the pumping station was cut off to the village three months ago.

The comrades from the editorial team of Rote Post have sent us in advance the editorial of the February issue of the RoPo, which we have translated and would like to share here.

At February 19 was the first anniversary of the Hanau attack. In all parts of the FRGtook placecommemoration events. So is was in Wuppertal as well. A combative demonstration with over 300 people moved through Wuppertal-Barmen. The event was organized by an alliance of revolutionary and progressive forces, for example the Karawane which fight for justice in case of murder of Oury Jalloh.

During the past week, several actions were again carried out (allegedly) by the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) [CPI(Maoist)] in People's War in India.
