On last weekends Saturday yet another massive demonstration took place in Austria. Vienna's annual Ball of Academics, a get-together of members of reactionary fraternities, police and military officials, state functionaries and suchlike, was overshadowed this year by massive popular protests of thousands of people. Although the reaction campaigned beforehand to apriori legitimize police violence and to attune their troops to crack down hard on the protesters, they were forced to hold back in the end due to the massive number of participants. In the following, we document the report published on afainfoblatt.com:
Austria: Huge Demonstration against fascist „academic ball“ in Vienna
This year the demonstration against the fascist „academic ball“ had its 10th anniversary. Not only the jubilee, but also the new ÖVP/FPÖ government brought speciall conditions. Since two months Austria is governed by the most aggressive representatives of the capital. Attacks on fundamental democratic rights, further increase of exploitation and oppression inflame the rage of the people. Since two months more than 100.000 joined the protests against the new government.
Since the last huge demonstration the bourgeois media tries to attack the rebellious antifascism, even the ignite of pyrotechnic was presented as „big crime“. The police warned of „leftextremist demonstration tourists“, to justify their large contingent and a possible crack down on the demonstration.
The bourgeois propaganda against this demonstration could not intimidate the antifascists to show their justified rage. Never in this ten years, there were more people involved in this protest, more than 10.000 joined it.
We have to prepare for an long lasting antifascist struggle. The „Antifascist Action“ sticked out by an high grade of unity and an struggling expression. This leads to an good spirit in parts of the demonstration, which was hold up until the end. Especially the new slogans „Capital has many colors, let us fight against all of them“ and „Long live international Solidarity“ was shouted in huge parts of the demonstration.
The rebellious antifascists was not frightened, they appeared resolutely and in many parts of the demonstration there was ignited pyrotechnic, against the „panic“ of the media, which was a very good symbol for the self-confidence of the antifascist movement.
Under the new conditions the struggling antifascism got successfully defended. It was proven that a huge part of the antifascist forces have no illusion anymore in any bourgeois parties, but the antifascist movement needs perspective! This is the task which the most advanced forces in the rows of the struggling antifascist forces have to take up. This demonstration is a good basis for the following protests. We have to be prepared for an long lasting antifascist struggle. As long as the capital is not smashed down, exploitation and oppression will intensify. Only if we unite our forces and if we organise we can resist against the coming attacks and raise our struggle on a new stage!
Strengthen the ranges of struggling antifascism!
Death to fascism! Freedom to the people!
Down with the capital!

On the 8th of January Christiane Schneider (domestic politician of the bourgeois party “Die Linke” in Hamburg) gave an Interview to the Hamburg Abendblatt, in which she attacked the Rote Flora and so-called left groups and demands to clearly take stance against violence. At the same time, Schneider presents itself as “unconverer in chief” in the G20 Special Committee.

This year's Lenin-Liebknecht-Luxemburg demonstration was marked by two outstanding political facts.
First, in a climate of witch hunts and white terror, the revolutionary movement in Germany has sent a clear signal. We will not be intimidated! We carry our flags with pride and in the midst of the struggle, we stand united against this state, its lackeys and spies.
Second, it is becoming increasingly clear how the reconstitution of the Communist Party of Germany is an urgent necessity of the class struggle of the proletariat. In different blocks the cry for the party is expressed and it becomes more and more clear how this demand finds more and more organised, centralised, forms. It is clear to all and everyone that the question today is not whether the party is reconstituted, but how, on what basis and when.

On the 7th of January up to 5000 people took part in the annual commemoration of Oury Jalloh in Dessau. This year was the thirteenth year after the murder against Oury Jalloh in German police custody since 2005. Again the demonstration was not a pure memorial for the life that has been taken thirteen years ago. The demonstration – that not only was the strongest ever in terms of participant numbers – marked again and even stronger a signal in the struggle against the imperialist chauvinism of the FRG and its repressive organs, from police to justice, who since the day of the murder try to cover things up, justify and try to criminalise activists.

We document this translation of the call for the annual LLL-Demonstration:
This January 2018 the murder of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg marks its 100th anniversary. 100 years ago they already waged a struggle against capitalism in its highest form, Imperialism. They struggled against exploitation and oppression of billions on the whole world and for the establishment of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. They struggled to make an end to the reign of a small hand full of monopoly capitalists, which divide the world among them. And they struggled for a word, in which the workers and peasants could really take their fate in their own hands, led by the Communist Party. They struggled for Socialism as a stage on the way to Communism.

The following is a documentation of an article published by austrian antifascists that we gladly share:
About 8000 people gave the protests against the new ÖVP/FPÖ government a lively and struggling first impulse. They participated in several demonstrations which joint together at the Heldenplatz for a big manifestation. Thousands expressed in a struggling way and also unanounced demonstrations, their justified anger. Paroles against fascism and exploitation like “Alerta, Alerta, Antifascista“ or “rebellion is justified – do not believe the lies of the exploiters!”, as well as paroles against the dismantlement of the educational system, deportations and against capitalism where shouted by the demonstrators. Many participants saw clear that in this struggle the direction must also targeted against the planned antidemocratic attacks by the ruling class. Especially young students brought their demands to the demonstration in a very lively way.
