Dear comrades,
The contradictions of the imperialist world system are coming to a head day by day and with breathtaking speed.
Capital is fighting the working class and its political resistance all over the world with all means at its disposal. Reactionary governments are applying increasingly rigorous austerity policies that are driving hundreds of thousands onto the streets. Hard-won rights are being called into question by the ruling class. In our country, industry is in crisis and tens of thousands of workers are on the brink of losing their jobs. Here, as in all of Europe, those who resist are being fought harder and harder – be it militant anti-fascists fighting underground or those who stand up for the liberation of the Palestinian people.
The struggle between the imperialists is taking on ever sharper forms in various parts of the world. The war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine is still claiming lives every day. In Romania, Georgia, Moldova and other countries, they are trying to weaken each other by means of political influence. In West Asia, meanwhile, various regional powers are trying to secure a better position, risking a regional war in the process. It is the workers on whose backs this all-round preparation for a third world war rests.
The dependent countries are being plundered even more intensively by the imperialist powers. This year, the German government secured new rights for its corporations to mine lithium in Serbia. In Syria and Ukraine, German capitalists want to fill their pockets not only by supplying weapons, but also in the reconstruction process .
Comrades,
We live in times in which the imperialists‘ preparations for war are becoming ever more intense. As revolutionaries, this affects our work, no matter where we are. Let us come even closer together in 2025 and fight for a world beyond capitalism, which only offers our class the path to barbarism.
Let us coordinate our struggles internationally and support all revolutionary efforts around the world: the Rojava Revolution or the People’s War in the Philippines as well as the smaller class struggles around the world. Let us stand closer together in the struggle for communism.
Here’s to a successful revolutionary year of struggle in 2025!
