反G8 (독일) #4

Now, three days after the "incident" in Rostock - the bourgeois media was/is calling it "Beginning of the civil war" - and just hours before the next main protests it should be a time to think how it came to such a situation/what was the reason why..

Already Saturday after the demo/"battle" I had several discussions with other (militant) activists and I came to the conclusion that it was/is just an extreme expression of a deep frustration, caused by different factors:

-> First of all, no doubt, the state repression against the militant left in the weeks before the g8 protests was/is one of the main factors.. But this is definetely not everything..

-> Many of the "militants" (i.e. activists of the so-called "black block") had to found out that there is NO "united" g8 protest movement. Unfortunately it tooks about two years (the time of preparation) for them to find out that the majority of the "movement" want to have just a more "human" capitalism.. Only a really small minority (and even this minority is complete without any influence in the society..) wants a "regime change". Actually many of the "g8 protestors" now are complaining that the militants had destroyed their "beautiful, colorful party"..

-> On the other side the ruling class in the last weeks was getting closer and closer to the "protest mevement". For example H. Geissler, the former secretary general of the ruling (conservative) Christian Democratic Party (CDU) became just some days ago a member of Attac, one of the main/leading groups in the g8 "protest movement"..

-> For many of the militant activists it would be no miracle if the g8 summit would also adopt the motto "Another World Is Possible"..

-> In fact for many it became clear that (large parts of) the "anti-g8 movement" and the g8 are just "the two faces of the same coin/medal"..

AND NOW:
Attac: "We don't want to see them (the militants/the "black block") anymore on our demonstrations", they told the bourgeois media..
Die Linke/The Left(좌파당): "We are really outraged.." (of course just about the "black block's" activities..)
