Trotzalledem Proletarier:innen aller Länder und unterdrückte Völker vereinigt euch!
There were times when German politicians had to talk about peace when they actually meant war. Today, this is no longer necessary. They openly discuss ‚war readiness‘. They openly demand that Germany become the continent’s leading military power.
Fit for war? For which war? The Third World War!
The sources of this global war are currently heating up in the South China Sea, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Russia/Ukraine. It is a continuation of policy by other means.
We are supposed to believe that it is about fighting dictatorships in the name of „good versus evil“. That is nonsense!
Their war has nothing to do with defending democracy against anyone.
In this madness, it is ultimately about the imperialist interests of the rulers!
The changed balance of power within the imperialist world is a redistribution. That is only possible through violence and war! It is a deadly struggle for the peoples of the imperialist great powers.
The aim is to control and dominate energy sources, markets and nations, and to exert cultural hegemony and push back currents in order to achieve world domination.
Where do the billions for war preparation, the army and weapons come from? That’s right! From us! We working people pay for war preparations. Capitalists and politicians are making money out of it. The welfare state is too expensive; we are too often ill and dependent on social services. What does it all cost? The ‚poor‘ state can no longer afford it.
They cut back on healthcare for young people and families. What about funding for care and pensions? They’re almost dead anyway: zero round, please! Redistribution must take place. Billions must go into the war chest. That is in the interest of the rulers and their imperialist goals.
This year alone, the German bourgeoisie has invested almost 110 billion euros in the war economy. In view of the lack of jobs in the automotive and steel industries, this will also present us workers with an opportunity for new jobs. Daimler Truck, Ford and VW are all competing for orders from the War Ministry in their greed for extreme profit.
However, „jobs“ in the production of deadly war equipment are not in the workers‘ best interests. NOT AT ALL! We should have learned this from the past! It is we who are responsible for every war. Preparation, implementation and the aftermath. The bill has long been presented to us: Workers and workers everywhere!
DIRT ON YOUR WAR!
In the event of war, there are only two alternatives for us working people: Either we work on the ‚home front‘ for starvation wages to line the pockets of the bosses, or we participate in the ‚war front‘ and engage in imperialist carnage, where our classmates on the other side will murder and die.
SO MAKE IT ALONE!
But there is a third alternative! If they send us into carnage, we will simply turn the guns around, and that will be worth it. This is what the Russian workers did in 1917. They built the first socialist republic in the world on the rubble of the old society!
WE TURN THE WEAPONS
that is our role model! That is what we should do; that is what we can do!
AND WE’RE WAGING A DIFFERENT KIND OF WAR
Class war against our own bourgeoisie. We feel our own strength in our shared struggle.
It can be done!
We know how to do it!
We are the working people, the working class. Our common interests are irreconcilably opposed to those of capitalists and their state.
THAT WILL BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
If we want to stop their hostile exploitation of both people and nature, abolish their divisive oppression and put an end to their warmongering, we must break out of isolation.
Yes, we must break out of the ‚every man for himself‘ mindset.
Yes, we must take action!
On 1 May, we celebrate our struggle for a new world – time and time again!
We are fighting!
Against conscription and militarism!
We are fighting against warmongering
in OUR TRADE UNIONS,
at the WORKPLACE, in SCHOOLS
on the STREETS!
Down with militarism!
Down with German imperialism!
War on the palaces!
Students have taken up the fight against militarisation as a struggle against compulsory military service. At the rallies organised as part of the school strike campaign, which saw tens of thousands of young people take to the streets, they are calling for:
‚The rich want war; young people want a future‘ and ‚No to compulsory military service!‘
‚Not a person or a penny for the Bundeswehr‘ and ‚We are not your reserve‘.
These demands are shared by all working people in this country and beyond who oppose imperialist wars and stand for peace.
The youth are leading the way… It is time for us workers to take up the fight in the factories!
This is where we can and must disrupt war production.
No support for their propaganda!
No support for their war!
Works Council Elections: Zentrum Nazis – what do they really want?
‚Zentrum‘ isn’t for us, but for German capital.
In the workplace, they present themselves as helpful carers.
Yet they are modelled entirely on the fascist workplace organisations of Hitler’s regime.
Zentrum is the AfD’s presence in workplaces. It stands for open racism and the division of the working class. It sows uncertainty among workers and incites hatred against anything that does not fit its narrative. It seeks to destroy all the democratic rights that we have fought so hard to secure. Its aim is to lower and abolish labour standards, wages, protection against unfair dismissal and equality.
The same story lies behind the mask at the Centre.
Our goal is to win over disaffected workers who have been disappointed by entrenched proxy representation politics and the collusion between works councils, trade unions and capital. Above all, we must prevent them from being won over by false do-gooders.
Above all: Take a firm stand against works council bigwigs and trade union bureaucracy! With the yellow unions and their labour aristocrats, there will be no fight for a slice of the pie, let alone more. Fighting racism, division and fascism is our duty! We must show solidarity with refugees, expose hate speech and fight to improve working and living conditions for everyone.
We can change everything!
If we fight together as a class,
as a fist.
As the working class, we can achieve so much:
Better living and working conditions
Shorter working hours and higher wages
Better schools, education and culture
Higher pensions and better care
Better healthcare services
An environmentally friendly energy supply
Better mobility for everyone
The end of the arms industry
We can even prevent wars…
We can build a new world
where all of this becomes possible!
It’s worth fighting for!
Let’s build the Communist Party!
For the revolution and our new socialist world!
Trotz alledem!
