Today, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide took part in protests against imperialism-induced climate change. In the FRG alone, thebourgeois press speaks of 1.4 million participants in various demos, including 100,000 in Berlin, 70,000 in Hamburg and 40,000 in Munich (the organizers call each case even higher numbers).  Worldwide, protests took place in more than 5,000 locations in 156 countries.

The Turkish comrades of the May Collective, sympathizers of the revolutionary struggle in Turkey, have produced an amazing feature length documentary on one of the historically very important militants of the TKP/ML: Orhan Bakır. Being an Armenian, raised in an orphanage, he committed himself to fight for the interests of the oppressed and hence joined the TKP/ML. In the 70s and 80s through his dedication and skill he became an important commander of the TIKKO. His example led to many Armenians joining the ranks of the Party to confront the slaughter of their people and all other peoples in Turkey with the weapon in hand and guided by Marxism.

To tell his story a documentary was now produced that will celebrate its initial screening in Cologne, Germany, on October 5, where it will be shown in full length with English subtitles. As Avrupa Haber reports, there will also be future screenings in other cities to come.

Below we share this report sent by young revolutionaries who support the struggle for land:

In the north of Cauca, as in many other parts of the country, peasants and indigenous people fight for land to work, for some years they have decided to take land from the rich of our country, landowners who do not move a finger, who enrich themselves on the costs of the work of the poor.

In this fight the peasants and indigenous people have had to face the armed forces of the State numerous times, who defend the landowners and the great rich.

On June 6, the armed forces arrived at the Vista Hermosa farm to carry out an eviction. They tortured and killed Jefferson. The facts were vile, as does the State of the rich, of the exploiters.

We mirror this article from network for the freedom of all politcal prisoners:

 

*As soon as the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ended his visit to Germany on 29.09.2018, a nationwide raid was carried out on the 02.10.2018 against alleged members of the popular movement "REVOLUTIONARY ARAMAEANS" (Süryani Devrimciler) by the state protection of German imperialism.

Thus it came that for the 26.07.18, 28.05.19, 29.05.19, 2x 23.08.19 and 28.08.19 from the state security police of Bavaria and Baden-Wittenberg each a summons as an accused of violating the Law on Associations as well as using marks of unconstitutional organizations for the 1. May 2018 demonstration.

On September 12, in the capital of the state of Paraná, Curitiba, grafittis were installed on a bridge and a wall of a Portuguese corporation to mobilize for the general strike, which were signed with "Liga Operária" (workers' league).

During last week, on the night of the September 11, the Brazilian Embassy in Brussels, Belgium, was attacked and disfigured with paint. The activists carrying out the action in chrome painted the slogan "Bolsonaro = Ecocide" and splattered red paint as well as red hand prints, to give an impression of spilled blood. Hence, the action was obviously organized to denounce the burning down of the Amazonian rain forest, that is not only tolerated by the Brazilian Government, but in fact promoted and defended. In the fire that was fiercest only weeks ago, and in many cases set by landowners to burn down protected woods on their estates or to destroy nature reserves so to be able to buy them afterwards, several people lost their lives.

 

Climate change, caused by the imperialist mode of production, has many different effects. In this article we want to shed some light on the influence of the greenhouse effect as a cause of flight on the African continent.

The 1st of September marks the anniversary of the attack of German Imperialism on Poland and is commemorated as the Anti-War Day in which a wide range of organizations in the FRG, mostly from the so-called "Peace Movement" and anti-imperialist forces, go to the streets to denounce imperialist warmongering and chauvinism (as already reported). In Hamburg, a combative detachment of proletarian revolutionaries participated in a demonstration that day1.
