DEM VOLKE DIENEN

With an impressive action activists in Austria celebrated the finishing of their current campaign with the slogan “Everything is illusory, except power!” and hoisted a banner in honor of the 200th Birthday of the Great Karl Marx.

Following is an unofficial translation of their declaration that was published at oktober1917.wordpress.com:

100 years October Revolution: Powerful action at the Urban-Loritz-Square

We share this image which was sent to us and is documenting an action in solidarity and in front of the occupied HWP building of the Hamburg University. The building and another building of the main campus has been occupied for 3 days.

We publish an english translation of this call of the Rote Ruhr Crew:

We support the call of the comrades of the Revolutionary Construction - FRG to support the struggle of the political prisoners in India and call to participate and to enfold the day of action to its fullest.

For decades the old Indian state is waging a ceaseless terror campaign against the broad and oppressed masses of India and the progressive and revolutionary forces, that lead them.

The country's bureaucratic bourgeoisie and its henchmen tried to drown every rebellion and revolt against the semi-colonial lackey of imperialism in blood, in order to maintain their order against the revolutionary resistance of the masses.

We transmit an unofficial translation of the Letter of the 2nd Peasant Meeting of South and Southeast of Pará which took place in April 7 and 8 in Marabá municipality. Peasants from all the region, quilombola and indigenous communities, people affected by mining and many organizations like the Poor Peasants League (LCP), People´s Brigades and representatives of the National Front of Struggles in the Countryside and in the City (FNL). Also people from trade unions, professors and progressive intellectuals, people´s lawyers, popular press and student entities took part in the event.

On the 14th and 15th of April the 8th Summit of the America‘s took place in Lima, Peru. The first Summit was held in 1994, originally initiated by the former US-President, Bill Clinton, to promote prosperity through economic integration and free trade by gathering together all leaders of North, Central and Latin America (obviously meaning to promote US-prosperity and power through imperialist oppression).

The Finnish comrades of Punalippu ("Red Flag") this week published the translation of report adopted at the V. meeting of marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations of Latin America. In their introduction, the comrades say:

"Below is a translation of the document "On the international situation and the tasks of the International Communist Movement " adopted by the Fifth meeting of marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations of Latin America  in May 2016. The Finnish translation is mainly based on the English translation (http://www.demvolkedienen.org/index.php/en/t-dokumente-en/1301-thesis-on-the-international-situation-and-the-tasks-of-the-international-communist-movement ), but also the original Spanish text (http://www.demvolkedienen.org/index.php/es/lat-amerika/1157-sobre-la-situacion-internacional-y-las-tareas-en-el-mci) has been used. In view of the very high ideological level of the document, the most important thing in Finnish translation is the preservation of scientific and precise conception, but at the same time efforts have been made to ensure that the translation is in smooth Finnish. Suggestions for improvement of the translation are welcome."

We publish this translation of a report that was sent to us:

[...]
I am a student at the University of Hamburg. Several fellow students told me about an action that happened Wednesday in a lecture on history and culture of the middle east. The lecture is led by professor Ludwig Paul, who more then once left a sour taste in the mouth of some fellow students.
During the lecture, two hooded people bust into the room and called slogans like „Long live international solidarity“, throwing leaflets in the lecture room. I attach a copy of this leaflet.
After this, the comrades called for a meeting in the social centre B5, while discussions started in the lecture hall.

On Friday, a good many number of reports on the most recent actions of the comrades in Colombia surfaced on the website El Comunero depicting the great initiatives and successful campaigns launched and led by the comrades of MESP and MERyP.
