DEM VOLKE DIENEN

The following is a short overview of the declarations by comrades for the 8^th of march.

In Chile, the Popular Revolutionary Student Front (FERP) reaffirmed its class character and origin, the student movement underscores its commitment to "develop the Popular Female Movement" in the country.

"If the revolutionaries do not mobilize, politicize and organize women, the opportunists and corporations of the old state will do so,"; "We must strive to direct the women's movement to  emancipation of the women, a struggle that the opportunism and revisionism of bourgeois and petty-bourgeois feminism stagnate in electoral farce or bureaucratic protocols."

In the FRG the Red Women Committees and other comrades have developed powerful actions in many cities such as Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen. In Weimar approximately 40 comrades participated in a presentation on proletarian Feminism. Also in Bremen and Berlin there have been similar events prior to the 8th of March in order to mobilize. Already, comrades have sent us various images and photos of actions, from which we want document a few before we report more extensively on the 8th of March activities that took place in the FRG.

Down with Imperialism and Patriarchate!

Moving forward in politicizing and organizing women in all parts of Brazil, the Popular Women’s Movement (Movimento Feminino Popular – MFP) on occasion of this year’s 8th of March published two new tools broadening their agitation and propaganda. Alongside a new bulletin a whole new website for the MFP was launched, presenting not only recent activities, actions and reports but also explaining the principals and goals of the MFP and giving a brief overview on the history of the MFP in Brazil.

Counterreform

The social security counterreform sanctioned by the shift manager Temer which went into effect since November 11, 2017. Despite some adaptations and changes, this is the biggest attack on the labor rights in recent history.

On the 19th of February, Munich’s high court dropped the arrest warrants for four of those revolutionaries who stand accused in what came to be known as the “TKP/ML-Trials”. Presenting the current situation of the trials and speaking about their time behind bars, three of those recently released comrades participated in a celebrative and informative meeting organized by Partisan.

We publish this declaration of the Red Guards Austion for the 8th of March:

Sweep the Mountains and Assault the Skies—March 8, International Working Women’s Day

Your blood is a beautiful torrent

That has watered our revolution

With a firm oath of class,

The commitment of a red fighter,

Conquering power until Communism.

“Hymn to Comrade Norah”

After the bill 1215 of the Fujimorist congresswoman Rosa Bartra was approved, students carried out a march against the so-called "youth slave law". The law would allow companies to hire students of technical institutes - without paying them at all. The students should just work to obtain experience in "pre-professional internhips". Naturally, the bourgeois Congress and the capitalists ignore that a high amount of students actually have to work to pay FOR their studies in the first place.

As various sources reported yesterday, an attack against the Israeli consulate was carried out in the night from the 27th of February to the 28th of February in the french town of Marseilles. Smashing all the windows of the consulate, activists denounced the Zionist occupation of Palestine and demanded freedom for the political prisoner Georges Ibrahim Abdallah.
