The
government of ÖVP – FPÖ will carry out big attacks on the workers
and the population!
12
hours working day – 60 hours working week
Cuts
in the spheres of education, health care, child care and culture
against the absolute majority of the population
Build
up of arms and further abolition of neutrality
Racist
and antidemocratic laws
With
the general elections in October with the ÖVP and FPÖ the most open
fascist forces reached a position, from which they sprout their
aggressive course against the population even firther. But even at
this point some of the announced “reforms” and measures, call up
the justified anger of the population, especially of the workers and
the youth. There is no contradiction in a principle way amongst the
other parties against the course of ÖVP-FPÖ, even though the SPÖ
is acting up as the “only opposition”. But it for example as well
decided on the limitation of the right for demonstrations, which is
now used against demonstrators. Also Kern’s “Plan A” stipulated
raising and flexibilization of work time (catchword 12 hours). So to
struggle against all the measures of the government their can’t
remain any doubt about who is capable of fighting back all these
aggravations and cuts: Only or selves are capable of it, the workers,
students in the schools and at the universities. We can bring the
measures of the government to a fall. One of the other “big” or
small bourgeois parties, will in return only make false compromises
and halt again and again after one or two steps. Therefore we are not
only against the “planned cuts of the government” but also
against all political forces who want to make profit at the expense
of the population!
The
antifascist, democratic and revolutionary forces have to trust in
their own strength!
In
hole Europe is much resistance against similar plans of different
governments. Great struggles which proof, that everywhere they try to
worsen oppression and exploitation they are confronted with rebellion
– in Greece, in Catalonia, in France, and so on, strike, mass
demonstrations, blockades,… Nobody is capable of miraculously
creating such movements over night in Austria as well, but everyone
can see, that the development of a resistance movement is possible in
Austria as well. In the passed years there are experiences of
protests against the first ÖVP - FPÖ government, there experiences
of the students movement “Uni brennt” and there are experiences
of the wave of antifascist protests against PEGIDA in Austria! And
today? Even in the initial protest against the ÖVP – FPÖ
government, since the elections in last October participated in total
more than 20.000 people! This is a good start.
What’s
impending to us is a long row of protest of different kinds, because
the ruling class has a big program in mind, through which big cuts in
the educational system, at the health care, in the spheres of
traffic, power supply, women’s rights, democratic rights and so on,
shall be pushed. Further shall Austria build up its arms, neutrality
shall be thrown over board even further and it shall participate in a
joint EU-Army! Therefore resistance can not be limited to just
Austria, but has to link up with with movements and protest in
foreign countries, which are directed against similar plans of the
governments. Struggle against imperialist militarization, against
preparations for war (what for should a EU-Army be created?) has to
become part of this resistance!
Let’
bundle up our forces and unite right now!
Let’s
organize first meetings from which joint actions can develop – not
as flash in the pan, but a stable and long term resistance! Let’s
take initiative in our hands, together with all who want to to get
active against the plans of the ruling class consistently!
Forwards
with struggling antifascism!
Against
all planned cuts at the expense of the population!
Austria: Huge Demonstration against fascist „academic ball“ in Vienna
This year the demonstration against the fascist
„academic ball“ had its 10th anniversary. Not only the jubilee, but also the new
ÖVP/FPÖ government brought speciall conditions. Since two months Austria is
governed by the most aggressive representatives of the capital. Attacks on
fundamental democratic rights, further increase of exploitation and oppression
inflame the rage of the people. Since two months more than 100.000 joined the
protests against the new government.
Since the last huge demonstration the bourgeois
media tries to attack the rebellious antifascism, even the ignite of pyrotechnic
was presented as „big crime“. The police warned of „leftextremist demonstration
tourists“, to justify their large contingent and a possible crack down on the
demonstration.
The bourgeois propaganda against this
demonstration could not intimidate the antifascists to show their justified
rage. Never in this ten years, there were more people involved in this protest,
more than 10.000 joined it.
We have to prepare for an long lasting
antifascist struggle. The „Antifascist Action“ sticked out by an high grade of
unity and an struggling expression. This leads to an good spirit in parts of the
demonstration, which was hold up until the end. Especially the new slogans
„Capital has many colors, let us fight against all of them“ and „Long live
international Solidarity“ was shouted in huge parts of the demonstration.
The rebellious antifascists was not frightened,
they appeared resolutely and in many parts of the demonstration there was
ignited pyrotechnic, against the „panic“ of the media, which was a very good
symbol for the self-confidence of the antifascist movement.
Under the new conditions the struggling
antifascism got successfully defended. It was proven that a huge part of the
antifascist forces have no illusion anymore in any bourgeois parties, but the
antifascist movement needs perspective! This is the task which the most advanced
forces in the rows of the struggling antifascist forces have to take up. This
demonstration is a good basis for the following protests. We have to be prepared
for an long lasting antifascist struggle. As long as the capital is not smashed
down, exploitation and oppression will intensify. Only if we unite our forces
and if we organise we can resist against the coming attacks and raise our
struggle on a new stage!
Strengthen the ranges of struggling antifascism!
Death to fascism! Freedom to the people!
Down with the capital!
Down
with capitalism, down with fascism and racism!
