DEM VOLKE DIENEN

We document a video with wich revolutionary youth in the FRG are mobilizing against pro-zionist and pro-imperialist forces.

Today is the 19th of June, the 31st anniversary of the Day of Heroism. On the 18th of June 1986 the prisoners of the Communist Party of Peru in the three prisons Frontón, Lurigancho and Callao rebelled against the genocide of the Peruvian reaction, which it attempted in order to crush the People's War. On the 19th of June 250 prisoners were murdered by the Peruvian reaction, for which they used a destroyer against the comrades of El Frontón.
These Prisoners of War formed the monumental trilogy of the Shining Tranches of Combat of Frontón, Lurigancho and Callao, a historic milestone, the Day of Heroism.

On the occasion of the International Day of Action for the 50th Anniversary of the Naxalbari Uprising, different activities were done in various cities of different federal states in the north, east, south and west of the FRG. So the international campaign became a truly nationwide campaign. A lot of new comrades were engaged in the campaign. The effect of the campaign is highlighted by the fact that several groups of the revolutionary movement published statements on the issue, e.g. the Rote Ruhr Crew, PerspektiveOnline and Revolutionärer Aufbau BRD (Revolutionary Construction FRG). Therein the necessity of the reconstitution of the Communist Party in this country, the People`s War in India – as a weapon of combat against revisionism – and proletarian internationalism were highlighted. At the end of this article you find some quotes.

LINZ (Capitol of the district of Upper Austria)

This year the 1^st of May stood under the sign of the 100. anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution. In the weeks before the demonstration new activists could get activated under the slogans of proletarian internationalism and the October Revolution for the preparation of the 1st of may.

The demonstration in Linz started at “Volksgarten”, with around 300 people. At the beginning rally one speech have to be pointed out. This speech could spread a struggling atmosphere by clearing the importance of proletarian internationalism. The speech finished by activists with the slogan „Proletarians of all countries, unite! Under the banner of Maoism!“. The demonstration took also a clear stand against the 12 hours working day, the Turkish army in Kurdistan and against the European Union. A further slogan, which pointed out the certain significance of the struggling year 2017 was „Long lives the great socialist October Revolution! Viva, viva, viva!“

On the „Hauptplatz“ at the finishing rally revolutionary forces which marched under the banner „Put proletarian internationalism in the first place!“, started to sing „The international“.

The self-called „communists“ got criticized, because they did not joint the singing and ignored this important song of the working class.

For the revolutionary and communist forces it was an successful 1^st of may. Good steps were made to develop the 1st of may also in Austria as an struggling day. The revolutionaries went deterministically, in the sense of proletarian internationalism, on the streets.

VIENNA (Capitol of the district of Vienna)

Because of the increasing attacks of the state against migrants, especially Muslims, in the weeks before the first of may there were organized different events against the state and anti-Muslim racism. Especially young migrants joined actively this events. Proletarian Internationalism played a major role there, as first aspect of the worldwide struggle the destroy the international exploitation system.

The international character of the 1^st of may demonstration was shown by an huge participation of migrant democratic and revolutionary forces. Comrades from the Philippines, Palestine, Afghanistan and Turkey/Kurdistan demonstrated their resoluteness to hold up the liberation movements in their countries, in the sense of international solidarity and also to support he revolutionary process in Austria. One banner which was carried at the demonstration, with the English slogan „Put Proletarian Internationalism in the first place“ made an important political sign against Revisionism, which today is propagating Chauvinism. In parts of the demonstration there was spread an an lively and struggling atmosphere with short statements, which contained the main tendency for the revolution today and also showed that for the revolutionary forces there is no reason for defeatism.

The 1^st of may demonstration was hold under the sign of the 100. anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution. Many times this important occurrence was pointed out with slogans and sayings, and the slogan „Everything is deception, except of the power, trust in your own force!“ was actively shouted. A brochure which got spread at the demonstration, which contains the most important declarations and texts of the last years from the International Communist Movement, showed the the coming year will also be a year of deepen ideological struggles.

After the demonstration there was organized different celebration, to end this important day with an vibrant atmosphere. There, the last struggling year got evaluated, especially the important success in the last year got pointed out, the victories in the antifascist, feminist and revolutionary struggles were highlighted. For the next year, there was made the call to develop activities in the 100. Year of anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution. The revolutionary forces should make clear, the the orientation always have to be the political power, like comrade Lenin told us and the October Revolution showed:“ Everything is deception, except of the power!“.

INNSBRUCK (Capitol of the district Tyrol)

About 1000 People were part of the 1^st of May Demonstration in Innsbruck, which was a lot more than last year. This day, the international day of struggle for the proletariat, had an important character, it was under the sign of 100 years Great Socialist October revolution and the Proletarian Internationalism. One banner which was carried was an expression for this, it had the Spanish slogan: “Poner el Internacionalismo Proletario en primer lugar!“ (Put the Proletarian Internationlism at the first place!”) on it and was welcomed by a lot of people.

Even though most of the demonstrations in Innsbruck are very quiet, this demonstration had shown that it is the initiative of the revolutionary and communist forces, which can change such a situation. The most active and struggling parts of the demonstration united under democratic, revolutionary and internationalist slogans and shouted loudly. The revolutionaries could managed to reach unity of the most active parts of the masses with initiative and revolutionary way of manner. Also the Turkish and Kurdish revolutionaries were very active and spread slogans for Internationalism and freedom for all political prisoners. Also the struggle of the women as a great force of Revolution played an great role, with the slogan “Proletarian Feminism for communism”.

Leaflets were spread at the demonstration, which called up for putting the proletarian Internationalism in the first place. Also a banner which symbolized Maoism was magisterial, to show the perspective and the basis for the struggle of the proletariat and the people.

There is much to learn from this 1^st of May! It has shown, that the revolutionaries should not be frightened and fearful and have to pick up the tasks as a part of the struggle for the proletarian world revolution. More it showed that the slogan of the official Organizers from the demonstration “For a world without capitalism” doesn’t give an answer and perspective to the masses, it is behind the fight of the masses. The honest forces have to go on steadfast in the struggle, it will be a good and important new year, full of internationalism!

Graz (Capitol of the district Styria):

„Long live international Solidarity!“ - under this slogan participated about 1000 people from the city of Graz in march of the Demonstration of the 1st of May 2017.

Different politically forces participated on the 1st of May Demonstration in Graz. Really eye-catching in the this year‘s demonstration was, that the revolutionary forces preliminary hold up proletarian internationalism very strongly in the front, which find‘s its expression especially in a one banner that was held in Persian and German language.

This banner steered by the masses very well, also the Leaflets and invitations for a happening on the issue of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which aroused a lot of interest and discussions among the masses.

Salzburg (Capitol of the district of Salzburg)

Also in Salzburg the 1st of May Demonstration was not held under social democratic hegemony, but expressed a lot of daily needs demands of the masses living in the city, as well as the Demonstration was very clear about the internationalist character of these day in its meaning for the working class.

About 11am 300 Demonstrators gathered in front of the central railway station, and after a short speech the demonstration begun. Different organizations spread leaflets, but not a single one of these marks the 1st of May in its meanings as the main issue. The demonstration was led by anarchist forces from the city and during it around 200 people more join the demonstration to demonstrate against capitalism.

An specially rosen issue of the Demonstration was the question of the rents, because nowhere in Austria rents are as high as in Salzburg. But Kurdish and Turkish comrades placed also very strongly internationalism in the center of their agitation. Flaringly the participants on the demonstration was mainly women and young people. Even if the route of the demonstration was very long going, nearly nobody left the demonstration earlier (what is under some circumstances very often usual in Austria). Only the participation of the (reformist) „Communist“ Party of Austria gets smaller and smaller.

In all we could say that it was a good and pugnaciously 1st of May in Salzburg which places a good condition to develop more revolutionary initiative there.

Put Proletarian Internationalism in the first place!

Everything is deception, except of the power!

Long lives 1^st of May!

In Hamburg the "League against imperialist aggression" organised the internationalist bloc on the DGB demonstration, which once again led to the Fish Market of Hamburg, where the social fascists of the yellow trade unions and the SPD organized an election campaign for the upcoming elections in September. The internationalist bloc, with 1500 participants, opposed this with proletarian internationalism and a combative mood. As in the previous year, the front transparent of the bloc read, "Proletarians of all countries and peoples of the world, unite!" There were mainly revolutionaries from the oppressed countries, especially from Turkey, sympathizers of ADHK, ATIK, the People 's Front, the Palestinian liberation struggle and the struggle of the peoples of Latin America. But there was also a greater participation among the revolutionaries from the FRG than previous years, which shows that the struggle for the realisation of proletarian internationalism and against its degradation to an empty phrase is an important contribution to the struggles in the oppressed and the imperialist countries. It also involved a collective of workers, who denounced the working conditions at DHL with their own banner in the front block. In the speeches held, imperialist aggression, particularly against the countries of West Asia, were repeatedly condemned. The meeting of the imperialists and their lackeys in Hamburg in July at the G20 summit was rejected and the bloc made it clear that the anti-imperialist forces of the city are willing to bring the joint protest on the streets. The determined and united appearance of the block also prevented the uniformed minions of the reaction from dubious attacks as as they did last year.

“The flag of the October Revolution is invincible!”
- Mao Zedong

This year marks the Centenary of the October Revolution. Imperialists, reactionaries, reformists, and all kinds of opportunists are making efforts to delete, obscure, denigrate and sully this event, as they did last year with the 50th anniversary of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
They do so because they know that the great message coming from these events for the proletarians and the masses is more and more present.
To get rid of imperialism, capitalism, war, exploitation of the proletariat and oppression of peoples we must make the proletarian revolution!
The working class must tear off the political power from the ruling classes, establish its power, its state─the dictatorship of the proletariat─and construct socialism; it must develop and continue the revolution in each country and in the world to get rid of all the chains of imperialism and march towards communism world-wide.

We document this inofficial english translation of the May Day 2017 Declaration of austrian comrades:

Proletarians of all countries and oppressed peoples, unite!

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!

Long live proletarian internationalism!

Everything is illusory except power!

May Day 2017 Declaration

Chairman Mao Zedong noted that "in the coming 50 to 100 years, the world will pass through great upheavals" and the Communists will have to prepare for rough battles. In the political report of the 9th Congress of the CP of China held in the midst of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, he made the correct analysis and determination that "we live in the epoch in which imperialism meets its total collapse and socialism is marching towards its worldwide triumph" Today, in the era of the strategic offensive of the proletarian world revolution, it is clear to all who are determined to the proletarian class stand point that these statements were not “ misinterpretation” "and not a “pipe dream", but express the international situation, t he reality of class struggle and its historically determined movement towards the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Freedom for Musa Asoglu

 

Musa Asoglu - allegedly the leadership of the Turkish Revolutionary People's Liberation Party - Front (DHKP-C) - was arrested in Hamburg in December last year. Both the Turkish state and the USA exposed a bounty on him of $ 1.2 million and $ 3 million respectively.
Since then, a struggle for his extradition has been raging, since both Germany, Turkey and the USA want to convict him.
He is held responsible for attacks on the American Embassy in Turkey and further attacks against the institutions of US imperialism. The DHKP-C is leading the revolutionary war for power in Turkey for the workers and peasants of the country. It is fighting against the Turkish state and imperialism. It fights the dealers, who are tolerated by the state to poison the masses and attack revolutionaries. It agitates for communism. It stuggles for communism. The DHKP-C is a shining example of which all revolutionaries around the world can learn.
The accusation of being part of or even leading them is not an denouncement. It is an honor.
The German state and the Turkish state are our enemies. This has once again beed proven. It is time that we treat them accordingly.
For this reason Graffitis were put up in Bremen, Hamburg, Jena and Weimar in solidarity with Musa Asoglu. We say:

It is right to rebel!
The struggle against the Turkish state is legitimate and necessary!
Freedom for Musa Asoglu and all other captured revolutionaries!
