Only in November this year, at least 17 people were murdered during joint operation of the state repression apparatus – the police, the military police and the army – only on the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

At least three big massacres took place this month in the city, one of them – which had more impact – was in Salgueiro Complex, in November 11, during a “Funk baile”¹ 17 mariners and 15 military police special forces (BOPE) opened fire at random, provoking terror and killing 7 people.

We publish this english translation of the article "Hienas de toga, gorilas de pijama e lobos em pele de cordeiro..." from issue 199 of A Nova Democracia:

The different fractions of the false “left” does not know limits of its audacity. For these people, the dictate “the ends justifies the means”, which expresses very well its physiologism, worth more than any banner. Senator Randolfe Rodrigues and deputy Alessandro Molon, both from Rede are examples!¹ Their faces don’t blush when they pose as “social rights” defenders and against of “rights removal”, as they present themselves at the parliamentary pigsty as the most enthusiasts of the hypocrite moralizing anti-corruption crusade embarked by the Public Prossecutor’s Office and judiciary. And what to say about the illustrious deserter Aldo Rebelo (ex-leader of the revisionist Pecedobe), Defence Minister of the last mandate of Dilma Rousseff; who, watching the boat sinking, like a rat, movedlock, stock and barrel to Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), the party that during many years composed the opportunist and electioneering front headed by the Workers Party (PT), but which voted in block for the impeachment of the ex-manager Dilma Rousseff?² All the “politic class”, the old declared right and the false “left” (which means, new right), even bogged down to the neck in the mud, pursuits one single and common goal. First, to present themselves as the true “ethic” paladins seeking to get rid of the swords over their heads, in order to, try to clout electorally, pointing out the corruption of the others.

We publish this inofficial translation of an article in rememberance of Mehmet Demirdağ:

After Özgür Kemal Karabulut (guerrilla and party member of the TKP / ML) fell on the 20th of October 1997 in the People's War, comrade M. Demirdağ wrote the following words in a letter to a comrade;

“We will overcome what we experience, if everyone complies with his tasks. But if some will watch as others fight, then we will have many losses more. Our main problem today is that we fix the militaristic formation of the party in every area. It is not possible to march forward when some are watching. But we will still march forward. Slow and sluggish, piece by piece or fast and united. Either we will fight as a whole - because the war can only be conducted like this - or we will still have some problems until we come to a stand to wage war overall ... (...) Make people aware of the war, to develop belligerent, that the War does not tolerate mistakes, does not tolerate delays, laziness and etc. and that the price of this defect is a very big one. We have to make the comrades aware of this. You have to be mindful to develop belligerent. Solve the work subtle and be fast and act compactly. You have to bear responsibility. A very small mistake, laziness, carelessness, forgetfulness and awkwardness is paid for with body and blood. The price for not appearing for an appointment could be annihilation. The comrades must become aware of this.

Be mindful and do not become careless. Take good care of yourself. Fulfill your tasks and make the tasks of others timely and accurate.”

Yesterday was the 25^th of November, the Day against Violence against Women. After the 25^th November of 2015 we wrote:

„Often it is the case, that actions and demonstrations of the progressive movement rather have the character of a required course instead of a combative event: actions are done to be able to say „we did our duty“, to mark the date in the calender, without efforts to actually advance the movement. Sadly it looks like the 25^th of November, the international day against violence against women, had this character on many locations in the FRG. When we look at the reports of various cities, we cannot have another conclusion. Representative is the case of Hamburg, a nationwide „stronghold“ of the „extraparliamentray left“, where only around 100 people got on the streets. One thing is clear: if the whole periphery of the women's groups and clubs, that participated in the preparation of this demonstration, would have supported it with full force, the number of participants would have been in the thousands. If it would not have been handled like a required course. Of course the given situation has to do with the understanding of the role of the woman in the revolutionary movement. Either you see the struggle for the emancipation of the woman as a „side contradiction“, what is a clear revisionist standpoint for us, or you see proletarian feminism as a cornerstone of every revolutionary activity. Therefore the work of the Red Women's Committees in various cities is exemplary for us and every revolutionary has to support it.“

Since the reaction stepped up their armed fight against the people striving for freedom in the beginning of November, launching a new military campaign code-named “Prahaar II” and spreading it even to the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, it encountered heavy resistance by the PLGA. Some of the actions of the comrades there, fighting to tear down the genocidal Indian state, in the recent month, we already reported on. However, in the last eight days alone, three additional attacks were carried out against the joint forces of CRPF and Cobra.
