DEM VOLKE DIENEN

We publish an unofficial translation of a contribution by the comrades of Sol Rojo  from Mexico, in memory of comrade Chino Pelón, whose death marked its first anniversary on 10 June 2022.

Oaxaca, Mexico. 10 June marked the first anniversary of the death of Saúl Morales Hernández, our dear comrade "Chino Pelón". A year ago he was sown in the earth - the same earth in Chiapas where he was born - and since then his memory has been walking in the footsteps of poor peasants and workers in the mountains of Oaxaca and Chiapas. There is no march where his name does not appear, there is no protest where the masses do not pay homage to him and defy the old land-owning, bureaucratic state. Soon we will also see him at the commemorative marches for the APPO; his name and his red flag will once again be waving thousands of times in the streets and on the barricades. Saúl Morales Hernández - In the heart and in the struggles of the people!

Last month, thousands of people on the Japanese island of Okinawa protested against the stationing of Yankee troops on Japanese territory. 15 May played a special role in this, as this day marks the end of Yankee imperialism's official rule over Okinawa and its return to the Japanese government in 1972. This year marked the 50th anniversary of the event.

We share footage of Dazibaos from Bremen sent to us, condemning in Spanish and German language the terror of the old Brazilian state in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, reading: “Military police out of the favelas, now! Mass slaughter in Vila Cruzeiro is state terrorism! Every drop of blood of the Brazilian people will be paid tenfold by the oppressors!"

We are documenting a report by comrades from Anti-Imperialist Action Ireland on the occupation of two vacant houses in Dublin and the struggle for a revolutionary standpoint in the housing movement.

In the following we publish an unofficial translation of an article of the newspaper A Nova Democracia, about the murder of a worker by the MIlitary Police and the protests against it.

The comrades of Rote Presse have informed us that issue 51 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.

Proletarians of all countries, unite!
