DEM VOLKE DIENEN

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the attack of Polen conducted by German imperialism with the fascists in power, with which they initiated on the 1st of September 1939 what would become the second imperialist World War. In the FRG this day is known as the "Anti War Day" used by various organisations to organize demonstrations and manifestation. Due to this occassion we publish the document "The historical experience of the war against fascism" of Renmin Ribao from 1965:

THE HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE WAR AGAINST FASCISM

As we reported last week the Papua are uprising in the state of Indonesia and claiming for national liberation, an end of racism against their people and an end of repression by the security forces and other reactionary elements. Meanwhile the security forces started to murder in pubic, but this is not a defeat for the rebellion, but in the opposite it is watering the struggle.

Two days ago combatants of the Liberation Army of the Workers and Peasants of Turkey (TIKKO) have conducted a successful action in the capitol of Turkey, Istanbul. In the business district of Sarıgazi a bank and the local PPT (postal service) branch were bombed and attacked with a molotov cocktail. To complement these actions, a banner was hung up with the signature of “TKP/ML-TIKKO”

Today the courts in Munich withdrew the arrest warrant issued against the Turkish activist Deniz Pektaş who stands accused in the so-called TKP/ML trials for supposedly being a high ranking member of that organization and, hence, of  having violated "anti-terror" paragraph 129a/b. On the condition to still having to attend court session, he was released after he spend more then four years in prisons of the German state, partially in solitary confinement, without ever being sentenced for a crime.

On August 22, 2016 Mapuche leader and environmental activist Macarena Valdés was found hanging dead from the kitchen ceiling, being murdered for imperialist interests. Macarena opposed and organized the Mapuche community against the hydropower plant of the Austrian energy company RP Global on the nearby Tranguil River.

In the following we document the translation and video of the Mexican comrades mobilising for a series of regional events called the "Workshops for Ideological and Political Formation", that are soon to take place in a number of places.

Comrades from Dazibao Rojo have documented a picture of an action in support of the international campaign for Dr. Sernas to be presented alive and well and for justice for the murdered Luis Armando to be served.

Up until the 19th of August, the Brazilian Amazon Forrest has reportedly experienced about 72.843 fires this year. Compared with the data of the same time period within the year before, with about 39.759 cases, this marks a steep rise. These developments are founded in the renewed aggressiveness with which the big landowners lunge towards opening up fresh land for agricultural production or raising cattle by burning down formerly forested grounds.
