Trotzalledem Proletarier:innen aller Länder und unterdrückte Völker vereinigt euch!
On 3 October and every other day, we shout this slogan! We want to do everything in our power to prevent German chauvinism and imperialist superpower madness, cloaked in democracy, from rehearsing its march.
Well, this cloak is more like a transparent veil. Because the rulers are crying out loud and clear for war, for Germany’s supremacy in the world. Democracy only gets in the way…
Reunited 35 years ago. Blissful in Germanism? No! On a pile of hypocritical promises from the imperialist FRG state and the ruins of the social-fascist GDR, WE working people still have not woken up.
WE expect justice to finally be done. WE expect more social rights, WE expect more democratic rights, the right to better education, the right to work, the right to better healthcare. Unfortunately, the vast majority overlooks the simple and clear fact that the German state apparatus is a willing servant of capital.
It was, is and will never be OUR state under capitalism.
No, no and no again!
So WE have nothing to celebrate when the party gets started for capital. A party because of ‘a united Germany’ possibly ‘above all else’?
NO!
Nationalistic arrogance leads us workers and working people straight into the next catastrophe. Being German is not a purpose in life. It contributes zero, nada, nothing to a better life.
What do we have in common with those who want to put that idea into our heads? Nothing!
The bigwigs rake in huge profits even in times of crisis, while we are expected to tighten our belts.
What do they actually have to offer US working people, the working class?
Let’s see: Aha.
In fact, the remnants of the welfare state are being abolished – the money is going into preparations for war and, oh yes, into infrastructure …
… no, of course.
Expansion of local transport, health, cultural or educational facilities?
More nurseries, schools, social institutions?
No chance – we realised that long ago.
Instead, conscription is being reintroduced!
Pensioners will have to keep slogging away!
Allegedly to reduce bureaucracy, legal barriers that slow down the unhindered exploitation of our labour are being removed.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
In other words:
35 years of reunification have brought US no improvement!
On the contrary:
Then as now:
Prejudices in East and West,
Nationalist icing sugar
over social robbery crap.
Racist pogroms, but the main thing is sorting Stasi files.
Division as the highest rule: When it comes to wages, pensions and working hours, there is no united Germany – 35 years after!!!
Germany is doing everything it can
to gain the greatest possible advantage from the new division of the world.
In the process, WE are left empty-handed, along with all the working people in this and every other country on earth who generate the wealth in which those in power bathe.
Preparations for war, militarisation and military actions, even wars, are taken for granted – in the name of democracy and self-defence. This is brutal normality and is enforced internally with terror in many countries.
NO MORE
hypocritical celebration of unification in the name of the bosses and bigwigs!
END to their wars!
END to the brutal rule of the imperialist system!
Only WE can improve our living conditions
Only WE, the working class UNITED with the working people and oppressed peoples in all countries stand for UNITY in the spirit of justice
UNITY, again and AGAIN UNITY for classwar in international solidarity
For communism, we love it so: The socialist revolution!
Trotz Alledem!
