DEM VOLKE DIENEN

We publish some impressions from actions done on the 8^th of march.

Today we received a mail of a comrade sharing his enthusiasm about a new magazine called "Rote Post" ("Red Post") that we like to share:

"I was very happy to see, walking in the streets of Hamburg, some young workers selling this new monthly magazine called the Red Post directly to the people passing by. As a foreigner it is very good to have, in a few pages, a synthesis on how the working class lives in Germany. What are its most felt economical demands in the cities of this country? Articles on housing, public transportation, the addictions that afflict the workers, its national and international sections, as well as culture and women specific aspects of life and struggle explain the situation well. The magazine is still fresh, in its second issue, but has a lot of potential and the people need a magazine which speaks for them, which represent their demands, which they can call their own. The magazine helps to understand that even in an imperialist country like Germany the people get exploited for the big capitalists to get maximum profits of everything. Many immigrants are part of the population of these cities, having an international section not only is important to link that the situation of the working class is similar and related in different countries. It is an international class and to unite in the same struggle is a necessity. Congratulations to the authors and editors of the magazine, keep up the good work. You got an enthusiastic supporter and for sure I will bring this magazine, and the idea, to my country! The comrades also said the mail in their magazine, This email address is being protected from spambots.

Yesterday, 2000 people went out on Hamburgs streets, marching in the demonstration „United we stand“. Amongst them, also the comrades of the League Against Imperialist Aggression, who took part with a strong contingent. The demonstration was organized to denounce the reactionary manhunt following the G20 summit and was called for also in reference to the „Day of the political prisoners“, which the German Red Aid celebrates annually on the 18th of March.

In order to support the international campaign on occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx – of which the translation of the central campaign declaration has been published this week – international comrades translated the campaign slogan “Proletarians of all countries, unite!” into two more languages. Hence, we document the Swedish and French banners:

We publish some of the pictures the comrades from Ecuador shared with us for the 8^th of March. The declarations that are to be translated end with these slogans:

Long live the working, exploited and opressed women!

Long live the rebelling, revolutionary and communist women!

Long live the proletarian leadership of the peasants struggle!

Long live the workers-peasants alliance!

Long live the Popular Womens Movement!

The great materialist Stephen Hawking died in the age of 76. In his most recent video message he stated:

"I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm about this quest. So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious, and however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up."

Only in 2017, three massacres and 60 murders took place in the countryside of Brazil and this expresses the sharpening of the reactionary civil war in the countryside. The amazonian region was stage of most of these murders and also two of the massacres: Pau D’Arco, in Pará, and Colniza, in Mato Grosso. Despite this, the masses keep resisting and advancing in their struggle.
