In the following, we publish the second of the two recently published articles in English from the comrades over at Tjen Folket Media, this time on the question of the struggle for a genuine Communist Party in Norway:

Reconstruct the Communist Party of Norway!

In the following, we document a statment published by comrades of Tjen Folket Media in solidarity with the antifascist struggles:

Solidarity with militant antifascists!

Five antifascist were fined for disturbing the public peace. We send them our greetings in solidarity, and would also like to oppose those who point moralistic fingers at them.

We publish a translation of the declaration as well as a video of the comrades from Mexico:

To the proletariat and the workers of Mexico and the world
To the oppressed peoples and nations
To democratic and internationalist organizations
To the International Communist Movement

Current of the People Red Sun reveals that in the recent days our 22 comrades accused of the crimes of terrorism and carrying explosives of reserved use of the Mexican Army, who were imprisoned on June 7, 2015 in the City of Oaxaca, have been declared absolved. and prosecuted in federal criminal case 30/2015.

Last Tuesday the biggest “Anti-Terror-Practise” in the history of the German police was conducted in the downtown and harbour area of Hamburg. A total of 850 police forces participated in the deployment, part of it were 100 Special Forces among them the GSG9. Additionally 150 extras participated as victims of terror attacks played by police students and actors. The police did not announce the practise beforehand, allegedly to conduct it under realistic circumstances. The “Anti-Terror-Practise” had four different scenarios, the last one ended in an action movie like attitude with a Jet-Ski chase. Around 6 pm the whole rumpus ended and police president Ralf Martin Meyer presented himself satisfied. Of course the whole downtown area was affected by great obstructions of traffic until the end of the practise.

The Head of the German police union recently gave an interview regarding the new police laws in many parts of Germany, in which he endorsed the militarization which they represent but called for it to be further and for a unified police law in Germany. We want to use this as an opportunity to report about the militarization of the German police and to translate some news that were published on the German part of this website regarding this. During the first half of this year many German states proposed new police laws, all of which extend the tools the police has at its disposal against the masses.

In Baden-Wuerttemberg the proposal included the legal observtion of encrypted messages, the use of ankle monitors and the equiment of police with military weaponary, such as handgranades and assault rifles, which are allowed to be used against humans as soon as a leadin policeofficer condones it. Additionally the “prevential arrest” maximum duration is to be extended to one month, the maximum of police detention is to be extended to one week and if someone is found to be fitting the vage and arbitrary definition of “a potential risk” the police are allowed to employ ankle monitors or to conduct searches without any prove of any crime. Lower Saxony has a similar proposal, extending public surveilance and the maximum “prevential arrest” duration to 74days. Saxony follows in their footstepsand adds the possibility of declaring “controllareas” which are heavily surveilanced and in which the police are allowed to limit even fundamental rights, without even announcing these areas. In Bremen the city now employs a sort of secondary police force which is supposed to take over in some normal police tasks so that the police is able to concentrate on fighting against the justified rebellion and on terrorizing the masses on a regular basis. There are also plans for building a big police complex in the middle of the workers quater Gröpelingen. Bremerhafen police now have Tasers. In Berlin the police extended public surveilance, tested facial recogniction software, started empolying “mobile police station”, which are bigger police vehicles they spread around the city which are capable of making arrests independent of other police and are planning to build many small police stations across the city.

All of these are examples and the occupation of cities, while less devoloped than in oppressed nations, of the increasing of the increasing militarization of society the German imperialism is conducting as a part of its striving to devolop into a superpower. But in light of this development it would be wrong to be scared of this imperialist monster, we rather should look to the ongoing protests against these developments, like the demonstration in Hannover (http://www.demvolkedienen.org/index.php/en/t-brd-en/2628-action-for-comrade-ernesto-sernas-on-a-major-demonstration-against-the-new-lower-saxony-police-law), and have to keep in mind the quotes of the great Chairman Mao Tse-Tung: “All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality, they are not so powerful. From a long-term point of view, it is not the reactionaries but the people who are powerful.“ And: “The reactionaries of every country are just such fools, Their persecution of the revolutionary people will only end in rousing the people to broader and fiercer revolution.“

The midterm-elections in the USA are over, and no big surprises took place. Some states have been won by the one, some by the other bourgeois reactionary party. We also share the evaluation of the Comrades of the Red Guards Austin: „The masses already know that bourgeois politics are a dead end; this is a great development which indicates good conditions for building the revolutionary movement.“

Everywhere at train stations and other public spaces for advertisement one can find posters with slogans like “100 years women‘s suffrage and what are you fighting for?”. Because on 12^th of November the German bourgeois state is celebrating the 100^th anniversary of women‘s suffrage. Surely, when women were not allowed to vote it was justified to struggle for the demand of women’s suffrage. What the bourgeoisie is doing now is to take the women’s suffrage which was conquered in Germany by communists like Clara Zetkin – but also by liberal women from the petty-bourgeoisie – as an occasion to propagate the bourgeois democracy and the ruling system and to keep proletarian women from organizing themselves properly for their own interests.

After leaving school, it is almost compulsory for petty-bourgeois graduates to go abroad for a year in petty-bourgeois circles to "find themselves". Work and Travel in Australia or Au-pair in the USA are no longer the favorite destination of European young adults. Rather, "exotic" countries in Latin America or Southeast Asia are now preferred. Because in the semi-colonies and semi-feudal countries of this world, you can really learn something for life, for example to value the "simplicity" (besides, one can experience much more for little money than in imperialist countries). If they also help in social projects, then there is also something well done for the reassurance of the bad conscience that may overcome some who have grown up in the imperialist nations. Of course, such a year abroad is also outstanding in the CV. Not to mention all the great pictures in front of a picturesque backdrop. Of course, this "simplicity" is actually the harsh reality of the most oppressed and exploited peoples in the world. And of course, profit is being squeezed out of it. In Peru, a trip to the Machu Picchu becomes an adventure trip when the tour groups are “allowed” to experience poverty in Inca villages on their way there. Locals will even sale a couple of their products and serve as cheap hotels, which will then give the tour operator the title "social project". Because according to the Hamburger Abendblatt, "both sides benefit from this". But at the end of the day there is nothing romantic about being watched by some backpackers while fearing for their very existence every day and not having enough money to satisfy the most basic needs. In truth, the local people are only kept in economic dependence on foreign visitors. Just as the oppressed nations are held dependent on the imperialists. And against that the people will rise.
