Finally there are large demonstrations and revolts. With young people at the forefront, people are taking to the streets en masse in France, Belgium, Albania, Italy and Spain. In recent years it has become very clear that this capitalist system has nothing to offer us. Lockdowns, war, genocide, weapons production, forced labor, poverty are there to exploit us and make the rich richer and the powerful more powerful. It's been quiet in Europe for far too long, we've been overwhelmed by all the shit that's thrown at us every day.
Here in Germany, too, protests against conscription have regularly brought thousands of people onto the streets over the year. And now there are the first school occupations, the first militant demos and actions that are modeled on those in France. What it's about is clear: opposing this system that plays us off against each other and drives us to ruin. Instead, live in solidarity and self-determination. We don't need a state or rulers. We need a movement from below.
What started as a student protest has developed into a general revolt. Politicians and mass media want to prevent this here in Germany because they are afraid for their power and their money. There is a rush. Against migrants. Against adults joining the students. Against alleged extremists.
They want to turn us against each other and prevent a general revolt. But that shouldn't work!
On November 20th there will be another nationwide school strike and demonstrations and actions are being called across Europe. Let's make this day a general day of strike and struggle! Let us finally ignite the flame of revolt here too! Together we can defeat capitalism and take back what they stole from us but still belongs to us: our streets, our neighborhoods, control over our lives and with it freedom.
On November 20th: everyone on the streets!
Make plans! Watch out for announcements! Take care of each other!
