DEM VOLKE DIENEN

Nachdem bereits eine Übersetzung ins Spanische erfolgte, dokumentieren wir an dieser Stelle eine englischsprachige Übersetzung des Dokuments der KLASSENSTANDPUNKT-Redaktion "Das Streben des deutschen Imperialismus sich zu einer Supermacht zu entwickeln", die uns übersandt wurde.

On Monday the 19^th of December a truck drove through a Christmas fair in Berlin, 12 people were killed and almost 50 were injured. The German bourgeois press and some bourgeois politicians quickly talked about a “terrorist attack”.

If it is an attack like the one in Nice (France), a now quite often drawn parallel, it can not be an excuse to demand solidarity with the imperialist state FRG. The communists are always on the side of the international proletariat and the peoples of the world. There is no justifiability of the imperialists and those who profit from their blood sucking, to demand that we should show more solidarity with the civilian victims in the imperialist countries than with the hundred of thousands times more victims in the oppressed countries by the imperialist aggression. The communists are revolutionary defeatists who wish for the defeat of the imperialist state in which they work.

We document this translation of a report on the demonstration against the OSZE Summit in Hamburg on 8^th of December.

On 8^th and 9^th of December the meeting of the foreign ministers of the “Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe“ (OSCE) took place in Hamburg. Therefore the repression apparatus of the FRG mobilised forces never seen before in this city. Over 13,000 cops, 22 water canons, 18 tanks, 35 boats, several thousand vehicles, K-9 units, mounted police, 10 helicopters and 700 police special forces occupied the “Exihibiton Halls” as the venue and the surrounding city district Sternschanze, St. Pauli and the whole city centre militarily and bullied residents and visitors.

On November 24^th, the international day of solidarity and struggle for the unconditional release of the political prisoners in India, various actions were carried out around the world, which we document here.

We document the english translation of a report on an good event in Austria, organized during the campaign "Down with the Olympic Massacre!":

Report: Event on "The resistance of women against the olympic games"

Last Friday, the 23 of September was an event on this topic, together organised of the "No Olympia 2016" Comitee and "Infoladen Salzburg". About 30 activists, feminists and interested people participated and discussed about the resistance of women in Brasil and what we can learn from it in our struggle in Austria.

Below we document the actions conducted in FRG and Austria of which we were informed about, in support of the Brazilian comrades and the Brazilian people and their struggle against the Olympic massacre. The actions were conducted in the last two weeks, the time period in which the Olympic Games were held in Rio de Janeiro and they are an expression of the spirit of proletarian internationalism to support the struggles of the peoples of the world, especially in the oppressed nations.

On the 5^th of August, the day of the opening of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the “League against imperialist aggression”  called for a rally with the slogan “Down with the Olympic massacre!” in front of the brazilian honorary consulate in Hamburg, which is located in a cynical way in the so called “Columbus House” in the most high profiled business district of Hamburg. At the beginning of the rally a German translation of the leaflet by the “Revolutionary Front for the Defense of the Rights of the People – Brazil” was read out. Various speeches on different aspects of the Olympic Games were held. In the speeches attention was drawn also on to the situation of political prisoners in Brazil and other countries, like Chile and Palestine. A good number of revolutionary youth participated at the rally and distributed the leaflet. This rally marked the start of the activities in support of the campaign in Brazil against the Olympic Games in Rio and there will be further actions for sure.
