Following the call to defend the accused and imprisoned in the TKP/ML trails and denouncing German imperialism, more than 100 people from various countries and organisations participated in the demonstration in front of the Munich court in which the trails are held since more then two and a half year now.

Today on a press conference of the police of the “Free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg”, photos of 104 alleged “criminals” were published and 5 videos shown. The list of facts was: „Elbchaussee“: 5 photos of 5 persons. „G 20 Not Welcome!“: 43 photos of 13 persons. „Plünderungen“: 80 photos of 46 persons. „Stein- und Flaschenbewurf“: 32 photos of 17 persons. „Rondenbarg“: 44 photos of 25 persons.

On the morning of December 4th Comrade Pierre died after an accident in the Parisian metro at the 2nd of December. Comrade Pierre was founder and an important Comrade for he Maoist Communist Party of France (PCM).

The Comrades of the PCM, who fought side by side with the Comrades of the FRG, Austria, Sweden and other countries in the struggles against the G20 this year, suffered a heavy lost with this death. Our full sympathies are with the comrades, which we expect to be struggling even more determined and strong, as they write themselves in their declaration: “But thanks to what he passed to the younger generations, we have gained hope, strength, determination and an example of what it means to be an authentic communist leader, a Maoist leader: never to let go, always to be on the side of the people and the working class, to be among the masses like a fish in the water, always seeking to improve by knowing how get back to the cause when necessary, to be firm on the principles.”

We publish these pictures that we received from different cities in the FRG. For the 83th Birthday of Chairman Gonzalo and the day of the Peoples Liberation Army of Peru the Slogan "Defend the life of Chairman Gonzalo" was spread.

We publish a video of the demonstration on the Day against Violence against Women, the 25th of November in Hamburg::

Yesterday was the 25th of November, the Day against Violence against Women. After the 25th November of 2015 we wrote:

„Often it is the case, that actions and demonstrations of the progressive movement rather have the character of a required course instead of a combative event: actions are done to be able to say „we did our duty“, to mark the date in the calender, without efforts to actually advance the movement. Sadly it looks like the 25th of November, the international day against violence against women, had this character on many locations in the FRG. When we look at the reports of various cities, we cannot have another conclusion. Representative is the case of Hamburg, a nationwide „stronghold“ of the „extraparliamentray left“, where only around 100 people got on the streets. One thing is clear: if the whole periphery of the women's groups and clubs, that participated in the preparation of this demonstration, would have supported it with full force, the number of participants would have been in the thousands. If it would not have been handled like a required course. Of course the given situation has to do with the understanding of the role of the woman in the revolutionary movement. Either you see the struggle for the emancipation of the woman as a „side contradiction“, what is a clear revisionist standpoint for us, or you see proletarian feminism as a cornerstone of every revolutionary activity. Therefore the work of the Red Women's Committees in various cities is exemplary for us and every revolutionary has to support it.“

The October Revolution was an event, that changed the world and led to a new epoch, the epoch of Imperialism and Proletarian revolution (this epoch is the present until today, although it has developed further). Communists, revolutionaries, and progressive people all over the world celebrated this event, also in Croatia. The Crvena Akcija (Red Action Croatia) a revolutionary and antifascist organization from Croatia celebrated this event with a propaganda action in Zagreb (Capital of Croatia) where some of their members held a banner with the slogan “Živio crveni Oktobar!” (Long live red October). They published a photo of this action together with a text on their homepage we want to quote here.“Today is the hundredth anniversary of October Revolution, of an event that decisive shaped today's world. This wasn’t just a big battle on its own, but it was an symbolic moment at which the humiliated and oppressed, those that have nothing to lose but their chains overtook power for the first time in history.”

In the spirit of the Great Socialist October Revolution's impact on the international proletariat comrades of the Partizan Youth Initiative / Marxist-Leninist-Maoist organized a symposium with international participation and comrades of at least five different countries attending. The two days lasting event featured several exposés and discussions concerning the teachings of the October Revolution and the application of what's to be learned.
