Shock as German conservatives open door to cooperation with far-right
www.yahoo.com
German politicians reacted with shock on Friday after opposition leader Friedrich Merz opened the door to cooperation with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) on migration reform after an Afghan man was held in connection with a deadly knife attack. German mainstream parties have previously gone to great lengths to avoid passing legislation while relying on votes from the far-right party, a stance known as the "firewall." However, Merz said in Berlin that his conservative parliamentary g

    All parties in the Bundestag are moving to the right together. There is no party there that represents the working class. The CDU/CSU, GRÜNE, SPD and FDP are adopting the AfD’s party program piece by piece and implementing it. All parties in the Bundestag, including DIE LINKE, have a reactionary foreign policy and only react to the crises of capitalism in line with their class standpoint.

    Attacks on the working class are being prepared and the ruling class is reaching for fascism, as it did back then, to get a grip on the current crisis. Nothing is more feared than an organized working class.

    “The whole country stands still when your strong arm wants it” - It is not for nothing that political strikes are not covered by the right to strike in Germany! The current trade unions prefer to cooperate with companies and factories get closed. Whether Verdi or IGM, none of them is representing the interests of the working class.

    When the Harz laws were introduced 20 years ago, it was expected that they would never get through. But the opposite was the case. Today, the trade union IGM complains about cheap steel from China. I know about the character of trade unions very well, how Lenin and Rosa described them, but the are today not comparable how they were 100 years ago in Germany.

    Kind of like SPD was once a revolutionary party and turned later to a “verbürgerlichte” workers party (Sorry I dont know how to translate it, how Lenin described it, but now they are the opposite of what they once were.

    Fascist actors are openly present. Recently, one of them even admitted in a German subreddit that he doesn’t care that his statistics on foreign crime don’t say what he thinks they say. But he didn’t care, because it’s all about convincing the “masses” and “bringing them” to the right decision, even by lying.

    It is important to organise and agitate against bourgeois parties and media. They want to divide us by nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion and whatever they can find. They start to pretend that something like race exists (I am speaking in context, how it is meant where I live. Meaning, biological race. All this Nazi stuff, that everything non-white has different genes).

    But don’t get discouraged, they are fucking loud as hell and you hear everywhere from them. Build your communist party (I won’t talk about all the parties in Germany), it is very important. If you lack some theory, it can be learned - Some important things even in a short time. We need a revolutionary workers party.
