독일: 5.01 a Day of Anti-fascist Resistance

In the East German city of Leipzig (about 100 KM South of Berlin) fascist groups, like they did the same since several years, planned on 1st of May to march against “globalization, war and unemployment”. About 1.000 of them – less than the organizers expected – came and wanted to march into a residential quarter, where many leftwing, alternative (mainly young) people are living (many houses here for example were squatted in the 90’s, after the GDR collapsed).

But even the state sent thousands of riot cops to protect the fascists – after some hours of street battles with about 4.000 anti-fascists – they capitulated and finished the fascist demo, even 3 KM before their final destination. àJUST A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE ANTI-FASCIST, after many years of just self-defense for the German left.

But already after tomorrow, the Day of Liberation (from the fascism by the Soviet, American and British Anti-Hitler Coalition 60 years ago), thousands of old and new fascists want to “protest” against the “Liberation Lies” in Berlin (of course the demonstration is allowed and will be protected by the cops) and (hopefully) thousands of anti-fascists will stop them immediately.

Meanwhile the same day here we'll "celebrate"
