DEM VOLKE DIENEN

On last weekends Saturday yet another massive demonstration took place in Austria. Vienna's annual Ball of Academics, a get-together of members of reactionary fraternities, police and military officials, state functionaries and suchlike, was overshadowed this year by massive popular protests of thousands of people. Although the reaction campaigned beforehand to apriori legitimize police violence and to attune their troops to crack down hard on the protesters, they were forced to hold back in the end due to the massive number of participants. In the following, we document the report published on afainfoblatt.com:

Austria: Huge Demonstration against fascist „academic ball“ in Vienna

This year the demonstration against the fascist „academic ball“ had its 10th anniversary. Not only the jubilee, but also the new ÖVP/FPÖ government brought speciall conditions. Since two months Austria is governed by the most aggressive representatives of the capital. Attacks on fundamental democratic rights, further increase of exploitation and oppression inflame the rage of the people. Since two months more than 100.000 joined the protests against the new government.

Since the last huge demonstration the bourgeois media tries to attack the rebellious antifascism, even the ignite of pyrotechnic was presented as „big crime“. The police warned of „leftextremist demonstration tourists“, to justify their large contingent and a possible crack down on the demonstration.

The bourgeois propaganda against this demonstration could not intimidate the antifascists to show their justified rage. Never in this ten years, there were more people involved in this protest, more than 10.000 joined it.

We have to prepare for an long lasting antifascist struggle. The „Antifascist Action“ sticked out by an high grade of unity and an struggling expression. This leads to an good spirit in parts of the demonstration, which was hold up until the end. Especially the new slogans „Capital has many colors, let us fight against all of them“ and „Long live international Solidarity“ was shouted in huge parts of the demonstration.

The rebellious antifascists was not frightened, they appeared resolutely and in many parts of the demonstration there was ignited pyrotechnic, against the „panic“ of the media, which was a very good symbol for the self-confidence of the antifascist movement.

Under the new conditions the struggling antifascism got successfully defended. It was proven that a huge part of the antifascist forces have no illusion anymore in any bourgeois parties, but the antifascist movement needs perspective! This is the task which the most advanced forces in the rows of the struggling antifascist forces have to take up. This demonstration is a good basis for the following protests. We have to be prepared for an long lasting antifascist struggle. As long as the capital is not smashed down, exploitation and oppression will intensify. Only if we unite our forces and if we organise we can resist against the coming attacks and raise our struggle on a new stage!

Strengthen the ranges of struggling antifascism!
Death to fascism! Freedom to the people!
Down with the capital!

The revisionist fraction [of the Single Party] pecedobê [refering to the "Partido Comunista do Brasil - PCdoB], held its 14th Congress during November 17 to 19. the falsification parade and traffic with the Brazilian and other peoples' proletarian and popular struggle was based on the worn out and mossy "theory of the productive forces", so many times crushed by the most consequent revolutionaries inside the International Communist Movement.

The New Economic Policy shows the path to socialism

After the soviet victory over the interventionists, the construction of the national economy – which was destroyed after four years of imperialist war and three years of foreign invasion – was necessary.

In the night of January 18 the people of the East Zone of Sao Paulo protested and blocked the street with burning barricade, because they were denied the vaccine against yellow fever, which is in danger of epidemics in Brazil and Sao Paulo is one of the main hazard areas.

Since November last year protesters in Honduras clash with police and military on a daily basis. After a botched election, that is considered to be doctored by many, the country is in deep political crisis ever since. Despite a temporary curfew and already 31 killed protesters, past weekend protests reignited as new old President Juan Orlando Hernández is going to take office in three days.

In January 12, 2018, in the São Francisco Community – between the municipalities of Manacapuru and Novo Airão the police made anownership repossession action, destroyed 80 houses, the crops and the electric and water systems. All these were built by the blood and sweat of the 180 peasant families who lived there for over 15 years.

Two major waves of protest erupted in January in South Africa. In both, expressing the hatred against imperialism that enforces near-slave labour conditions and imperialist chauvinism, foreign capital was targeted. Even thought the reaction in both cases went in hard against the protesters, many could not be deterred. A tremendous expression of courage and bravery are the struggles that took place around Platinum mines of Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlat).
