DEM VOLKE DIENEN

In an internationally coordinated action, flags with Hammer and Sickle were put up on the 5th of May in various cities of the FRG. On the 5th of May 200 years ago Karl Marx was born and hence flags were hoisted not only in the FRG but revolutionary organizations from different countries on this day hoisted flags in the streets and places of the working class neighborhoods. Here, apart from actions in Weimar, Bremen, Berlin and Hamburg, actions were also made in Karl Marx City of Birth, Trier. Regarding the latter, a video has already been published. Also, videos and pictures were already published regarding the great actions that took place in Brazil (Video + Pictures) and in Austria (Report + Photos, Report by Partizan). In Sweden, on the 5th, comrades put up the banner of the 200 Years Campaign in Stockholm (Pictures) and, as posters in four different languages, on the walls in the proletarian neighborhoods. Among others, also the comrades from Finland contributed by publishing the Finnish translation (Translation) of the 200 Years Karl Marx declaration on occasion of the Birthday. Following we document Photos of some actions that took place in the FRG and that we have received pictures about:

This First of May was impressed by the campaign for the 200^th birthday of Karl Marx. In Ecuador, on a big demonstration, a banner with the logo of the campaign was hoisted and leaflets spread. Update: Fotos from the FRG added.

Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin and some other cities in the FRG are known to be bastions of the proletarian revolutionaries. The recent developments express an advance to the east and the south. But one corner of the west in this rotten German state on the Ruhr now plays a decisive role in the struggle between Hoxhaism and Maoism. The young proletariat of the Ruhr-Area raises the flag of Maoism and not only adopts the criticism on the Right Liquidationism but also deepens the criticism. We observe, that no matter what happens to us, there are comrades who will remain. As the Authors Collective behind DemVolkeDienen.org we salute the firmness and persistence of the comrades. The following is a documentation of an inofficial translation of andeclaration made by the Rote Ruhe Crew [highlights made by us]:

We document this video of actions that were done on the 5^th of May 2018 in Brazil:

The following is an unofficial translation of the Text "Volkskrieg - Der einzige Weg zu Befreiung" which was published in the Klassenstandpunkt Magazine. The German original was taken from maoistdazibao. Corrections of eventual translatory shortcomings are pending and will be corrected as soon as we become aware of them:

People’s War – The sole path to liberation

After the massacres of revolutionaries in late April, the Maoists in India impressively show through a series of actions that their will to crush the old state and to fight for that purpose with all means remains unbroken.

We are very happy to have received word from the most advanced comrades in Austria, the Committees for the Foundation of the (Maoist) Communist Party, about their determination to sign the international declaration of marxist-leninist-maoist Parties and Organisations of the 1st of May and the Campaign of 200 years of Karl Marx.

On the 5th of May, Maoists all over the world celebrated the 200th Birthday of Karl Marx. Contributing to the international campaign on this occasion, Maoists in the FRG and other parts of the world, hoisted flags with Hammer and Sickle in the streets, buildings, squares and popular neighborhoods and whereever our class is present. A particularly outstanding action in Germany was made in the City of Karl Marx’ birth,  the City of Trier. Both, at Marx’ place of birth, as well as at the house he lived in, the Maoists hoisted their flag amidst challenging circumstances: Whereas Trier usually is not the point of focus for either great country wide attention nor the international spotlight, on this very day all kinds of bourgeoisie, revisionist, fascist and repressive forces converged on Trier to – in one way or another – soil the tremendous accomplishments of Marx. The action, which we received some information and footage about, was a blow to this attempt.
