This month, Partizan, one of the members of the Coordinating Committee of the Anti-Imperialist League (AIL), and the Red League have jointly organized three events in Germany to publicize the anti-imperialist world federation in the process of being founded and to give different organizational structures and interested individuals the opportunity to participate in this process from the very beginning. These public activities were held in Hamburg, Cologne (both on October 26) and Leipzig (on October 12).

After introductory words from the organizers, a 20-minute film (made especially for this occasion) was shown at the events, presenting the member organizations of the Coordinating Committee and the various actions and campaigns - such as those in support of the People's War in India and the National Resistance Front in Palestine - that have already taken place in a number of countries. The film was followed by oral presentations on the proposals for the basic document for the AIL, and on understanding what consistent anti-imperialism means and what practice must follow from it. Lively and engaged discussions took place at each of the three events, and even where there were major differences of opinion on some issues, there was a firm unity among the participants at each venue on the need to advance the anti-imperialist movement, in Germany and around the world.

A particularly positive aspect was that many young comrades new to the movement expressed their desire to become part of the work of the AIL and to join forces with the slightly older generation of experienced activists in theory and practice.

What also became clear with the events is that the German state and its accomplices are obviously interested in preventing the establishment of the AIL. There were several problems with the premises for the event, especially in Hamburg, where the original venue, when the mobilization had already been going on for weeks with posters all over the city, was cancelled on the grounds that the landlords had "received indications that the organizers were enemies of the democracy" - an action typical of the ‚Verfassungsschutz‘ („Office for the Protection of the Constitution“, the domestic intelligence agency) - in addition, the quickly found replacement venue was cancelled one day(!) before the event because seemingly some colleagues insist on handling non-antagonistic contradictions antagonistically. The fact that the local comrades still managed to hold the event as planned is an achievement that shows the determination to build the AIL. The event in Berlin, which was also canceled due to problems with the venue, will take place in the near future.

Overall, the organizers consider the three events to be a success and a good start to the development of the AIL in Germany.
