Interventionistische Linke (IL)

Dieses Papier ist das vorläufige Ergebnis einer mehrjährigen Diskussion, in der sich die Interventionistische Linke über die nächsten Schritte im Organisierungsprozess verständigt hat. Ursprünglich wollten wir ein viel längeres Papier veröffentlichen. Die politischen Positionen sollten ausführlich dargelegt und begründet, unsere aktivistische Praxis in den wichtigsten Arbeitsfeldern grundsätzlich strategisch bestimmt werden. Irgendwann haben wir gemerkt, dass dieser Anspruch für den Augenblick zu hoch ist, und uns entschieden, einen Zwischenstand aufzuschreiben.

It's no weekend getaway to travel from afar to Frankfurt and remain for some days. We don't have thermal blankets to offer.

After multiple house searches, arrests and house arrests in Rome and Milan in November 2012, yet again on Monday morning at least 13 students and activists from Padova have been affected by state repression. This repression must be seen as an answer to the european mobilization for the general strike on November 14, where thousands of people in numerous italian cities marched against those responsible for crisis - the governments and banks. This is a new wave of repression against those parts of the movement, that were able to break the silence in italian society this past autumn.

We know you don’t want her. We don’t want her either! On the occasion of chancellor Merkel’s visit to Greece we express our solidarity with and our admiration for the struggle of the Greek people: We stand behind you! Pretending to support Greece, Merkel is pushing forward devastating neoliberal politics all around Europe. We deeply oppose the German austerity policy that is destroying Greece and the livelihood of the Greek population, and we welcome the increasing number of people that carry their rage to the streets.
