antifascist groups call for a demonstration in Frankfurt/Germany

revolutionary antifascist groups call for a radical left-wing demonstration "against the demolition of social rights, law and order politics and the rewritting of german history" on saturday the 30.th of october. The left wing groups want to give a clear message against the reactionary roll back in society, which, they say, is due to the european/german attempt to become a world-power in global capitalism again.
Sahra Brechtel, spokes person of the autonome antifa [f] explains: "demolition of social rights, law and order politics and the rewritting of german history are all results of the same problem: the rise of a german-european nationalism. Without the attempt to turn the mass-murder of the holocoust into a "european-catastrophy" without any culprits, german war-criminals into victims and the attempt to gain a moral surplus value out of Auschwitz for the german nation, it surely would not be this easy to convince the people to support the capitalist, so called "necessesties" of "Standort Deutschland" and promote a "modern" nationalist Identity. (As the germand foreign minister Joschka Fischer said: "We do not fight wars in our interest (like Cosva war 1999) despite but just because of Auschwitz...")
And it would also be much more difficult to do this law and order politics, if it were not already commen sense that there are no political, social or even classproblems in societey, but only "crime problems" which should be solved by the police...
Therefore a left critique must not fight only against the different symtoms, but should turn into a emancipatory and anticapitalist movement against the "own" country."
Instead of beeing populistic and nationalistic it is task for a left-wing movement to attack the nationalist consens which keeps the different class Interests together, which in fact do not belong together. After all, the right-wing deveplopment of society is not pushed forward any more by the far-right but even more effective by the center of society. It still is up to left-wing movement to prove that history does never end - get active!




press realase after the demonstration:

Over 300 antifascists joined an antifascist manifestation in Frankfurt. The demontration went from the friedberger platz through the inner city. The activists showed transparents like "Everything for everybody - end the violence - abolish capitalism!", "fight the new nation europe!" and shouted slogans like "burn down black,red,gold (the national colours of germany) - classwar instead of nation pride!","patriots are idiots", "riot, bambule, frankfurter school! (refering to the kritische Theorie of Adorno and Hokheimer),"who does not want to speak about capitalism, should not try to talk about fascism!", "No justice - no peace - fight the police!" and "Against germany, viva communism - againts every antisemitism!", "Let's go - betray "your" country!", "Luxury for everybody!", "ViVa revolution - Fight old europe" ....
Already before the beginning of the demonstration there were plenty of policemen, with riotgear and watter canons, dogs, etc. around and tried to controll and make pictures of activists.
When the demonstration started, the police tried to block the demo and said there would be masked persons (caps and sun glaces...) in the manifestation. But the demonstranst just shouted "Sonnen Brillen bleiben, sonst klirren Scheiben..." meaning "The sun-glaces stay, otherwise windows will be smashed...). Finally the manifestation could continue and finished peacely after tree hours.
Sahra Brechtel said: "This can only be a first step for a emancipatory movement. Let's push things forward!"
