antigovernment demonstration in Berlin. Reason ICOR. International Festival of Culture Yesterday I happened to be on two major events in Berlin - obschenemetskoy antigovernment demonstration Montagsdemo organization and celebration cultures with a press conference to announce the establishment of new international organization.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
In obschenemetskoy antigovernment participated in the demonstration, according to organizers, about 7000 people. Delegation arrived from many German cities, including even the Nuremberg and Bamberg. On a large map of Germany were marked boxes, so it turned out that "
demonstrations on Mondays " is now organized in 104 German cities.
"Down with the Harz-4! People - is we "- the motto of the demonstration.

When the rainy cold weather the number of participants has almost doubled compared from last year. We still consider that part of the activists, especially from western Germany, pulled Stuttgart - there on Saturday, the regular demonstration protest against the construction of the station, which was attended according to the police about 30 thousand people (read - actually about 50 thousand), the police again use violence. You can really see that it is not so much in the station, but in the real opposition has arisen government and people.
little bit about my impressions. The weather really was not the best, we were freezing and soaked. The quality and quantity of photos leave much to be desired - in my hands was a poster, we move, shoot it was very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, of course, the mood was militant and cheerful. Police were surprisingly few - just a dozen or two machines, police are not in combat calculations, while in ordinary green form. Obviously, the famous Berlin radicals in this time was not expected (or, what may be left in Stuttgart). But members Montague demo are highly disciplined, which was manifested in order to demonstrate - were orderly rows of 5-6 people, their own ordnery (assistants to maintain order) sent a column, all the way, each group chanted slogans and slogans, sang songs, and all of turn to speak at an open microphone, referring to the Berliners, curiously looking out the windows and shops. Most, as expected, remained indifferent, but there were those who joined the procession, or come later at a rally on Alexanderplatz.
Video recordings of the demonstration can be viewed Here:
www.bundesweite-montagsdemo.com/index.php After the demonstration, wishing to go on holiday culture in Max-Schmeling-Halle.
celebration began with a surprise - a press conference on which was announced just created (date of establishment - 10.06.2010), an international organization of revolutionary parties ICOR.
Quite by chance, in fact, we was present at a major historical event.
ICOR -
International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations - through dozens of years after the Third International - the first time brought together about 70 revolutionary parties and organizations of different countries.
about this organization have told myself, Stefan Engel (MLPG party chairman and was elected general coordinator ICOR) and Sanya Singwi (a member of the Communist Marxist-Leninist Party of India and Deputy Coordinator of ICOR).
little more about this organization I wrote in
community "Cominform" .
Speech Stefan Engel was a bright, credible and intelligent. Engel recalled the various historical events that failed or ended in failure due to international support, or lack thereof. According to Engel's only joint that goes beyond national and state boundaries, capable of revolutionary action to confront the international global imperialism, just in case joint action of workers of different countries, we have a chance to become stronger imperialist forces and win.
on the stage reached by the representatives of various organizations involved in the ICOR. Among them was a delegation of Ukraine. I really wanted to talk with their Ukrainian comrades, but to find them and then had the chance. Comrades, if you read this, let's look!:)
After the official part, we looked wonderful concert from different cultures. There was a remarkable Turkish singer, which led Hall to dance to incendiary music, had great Latin American songs, they showed us the real Brazilian Capoeira - the mix of dance and martial arts I have seen for the first time, it's very impressive. A group of Palestinian children performed the dance, the German girls are beautiful sang "Comandante Che Guevara", sounded poems of Pablo Neruda, Nazim Himketa, all is simply impossible to remember. Program led the German working and trade union activist and a girl-Turk, a student in nursing school, a beauty with such a ringing and clear voice, that her speech and recitation of great perceived not only in German (which she has freely), but also in the Turkish language - even without understanding the meaning of it was pure delight articulation and sound.
Against began in a high-ranking German official persecution of migrants, especially from Muslim countries, we could to express solidarity with these people and support them. Attended the festival organization of Turkish workers and the Kurdish national liberation organization.
And what about the Germans, according to some rossiyanskih immigrants, "crushed multiculturalism?" Imagine, they did not feel strange at this festival, one of the items in the program performed a theater group staged the 90 th anniversary of the Ruhr the red army. We sang two songs from this performance, allow you to feel the atmosphere of the time, recalled the strong tradition of labor movement in Germany.
Yes, and everybody was pleased when a Filipina girl, playing on their national instruments, in their own language suddenly sang Einheitsfront Ernst Busch - And the audience picked up the song in German.
and Turkish singer has performed in two languages Arbeiter von Wien, and the audience rose and sang the song while standing. As its motif coincides with the motive Send "White Army, Black Baron", and the German text I had not learned, then, of course, gladly tightened song in Russian. I do not know who wrote this music the first time! But in any case, I liked it.
In all this, "Sodom multiculturalism" I bitterly regretted only one thing: I do not have here Russian / Soviet comrades with whom we could just go on stage and sing a beautiful Soviet songs here would have been taken with a bang. But Unfortunately, our people in Germany are engaged completely different and are not interested in leftist ideology, nor of their national culture.
I am proud for his people when Engel said of the October Revolution, the screen flashed old Russian photographs, and room greeted them with friendly applause, surprisingly, particularly joyful reaction of the hall caused the famous picture with the installation of the Soviet flag on the Reichstag in Berlin, the liberation from fascism.
Gosh, could as we do when we want!
Unfortunately, the photos from the holiday I absolutely did not work due to imperfect apparatus. As they say, dear readers, strain the imagination and imagine it all yourself!
mood after the holiday and the press conference there are very good. And again battle goes on! Workers of all countries, unite! "Nothing is not over, everything is just beginning, before XXI century, the century of the coming of socialism!
