Like everything else, the hypetheme of climate protection bears the stamp of a class, namely the bourgeoisie.

The Indian reaction is still not able to defeat the Communist Party of India (CPI[Maoist]) and the People's War. The People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) under the leadership of the CPI(Maoist) continues to carry out armed actions.

According to the poverty report of the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, poverty rose to a new record level of 16.1 percent in 2020, the first year of the current economic crisis. Thus, 13.4 million people in the FRG are poor according to the bourgeois definition. This renewed increase is in line with the trend that has been evident for years. In 2006, it was 14 percent and in 2019 15.9 percent. The most severely affected by poverty are migrant people, single mothers and people with more than three children - which also makes the proportion of children living in poverty considerable. There is also a significant difference between the various federal states of the FRG. Bavaria, for example, comes off best with 11.6 percent, while in Bremen, which is the front-runner in terms of poverty with a rate of 28.4 percent, significantly more than one in four now live in poverty.

Climate protection is one of the most discussed topics of our time. For some years now, it has been impossible to imagine the public discussion without it, bourgeois politicians are tearing their mouths apart about the protection of the earth, the young generation in particular is moved by the environmental destruction that is being carried out and also in the revolutionary movement some people run behind this topic. What is lacking and is shown again and again is a Marxist approach to this issue, even if some claim to have already given it. The argument is often, that we need socialism at first. Until then climate protection only can be a dream.
