Successful recruitment of members despite the Trotzkyite "Linksruck- Netzwerk" small number of supporters and scarcity of resources, the majority of these groups kept a low profile. Some of the groups made major efforts to make the general public aware of their organizations and to recruit new members; in instances, these efforts were successful. Overall, the number of German Trotzkyites has risen to about 2,350 (1998: 2,200). The "Sozialistische ArbeiterGruppe" (SAG - "Socialist Workers’ Group") - the German section of the umbrella organization "International Socialists" (IS; headquarters in London) - again was the most successful group in recruiting supporters. With the help of its cover organization "Linksruck-Netzwerk" (LR - "<strong>Left</strong>-Swing Network") which was founded in 1994, it conducted a focused and successful infiltration programme directed primarily against "Young Socialists" in the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany). For this purpose, it made use of the so-called "entrism" tactics, which had been developed by Trotzkyists already in the 1930s: Trotzkyists will join competing left-wing, including democratic, groups, and try to anchor their policies in these groups, to win over members or even to bring whole organizational structures under their control. Some 1,000 participants attended its annual mass event "Rosa Luxemburg Days" (21 - 24 May in Frankfurt/Main). The organizers reported that recruitment of members had been successful. By the end of the year, the LR had between 1,000 and 1,100 (1998: 900) members working in more than 50 local groups (1998: 40) which form five regional divisions - North, East, West, Centre and South. During the second half of 1999, the LR made an abrupt turn away from the SPD [Social Democratic Party of Germany], which it had previously courted, by staging a campaign entitled "An End to Schröder's CDU politics!". It did not, however, give up the entrism tactics employed by it so far. Also the second largest Trotskyite formation in Germany, the "Sozialistische Alternative Voran" (SAV - " Socialist Alternative Forward") - which is the German section of the "Committee for a Workers' International" (CWI; headquarters in London) - experienced membership gains. As in 1998, the SAV ran in Landtag and local elections. In some cities, for instance Aachen [Aix-la- Chapelle] and Rostock, it won up to 0.8 % of the votes, and managed to use the election contest for publicizing its organization and for recruiting new members. The re-activation, begun in 1998, of the front organization "Jugend gegen Rassismus in Europa" (JRE - "Youth against Racism in Europe"; most recent membership figure: more than 1,000) met only with moderate success. By now, groups have been re-established in Göttingen, Cologne, Rostock, Dresden �Ã��Ã�
and Berlin, with altogether more than 50 members who are devoted chiefly to the locally waged "anti-fascist struggle". In Germany, two groups affiliate with the "IV. Internationale/Secrétariat Unifié" (with headquarters in Paris), which is the Trotskyite umbrella organization with the richest tradition. Of these two, the "Vereinigung für sozialistische Politik" (VSP - "Union for Socialist Politics") is facing dissolution; its political activities are confined to the membership of its cadres in the "Party of Democratic Socialism" (PDS) and to its participation in the "Bundeskoordination der Europäischen Märsche gegen Erwerbslosigkeit, ungesicherte Beschäftigungsverhältnisse und Ausgrenzung" ("Federal Co-ordination of European Marches against Unemployment, Unprotected Employ, and Exclusion") (cf. Chapter V, section 1, below). The second German group close to the "Secrétariat Unifié" ("Unified Secretariat"), "Revolutionärer Sozialistischer Bund" (RSB - "Revolutionary Socialist Union", about 70 members), took part in the protests against the summits in Cologne and mainly concentrated on activities in plants and trade unions. Like the aforementioned groups, other smaller Trotskyite groups, such as the "Partei für soziale Gleichheit" (PSG - "Party for Social Equality"), the "Spartakist-Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands" (SpAD - "Spartacist Workers’ Party of Germany"), the "Internationale Sozialistische Organisation" (ISO), and the Gruppe Arbeitermacht" (GAM - Group ’Workers’ Power’), devoted their propaganda and agitation to priority issues such as NATO’s intervention in the Kosovo conflict or the fight of the "Kurdistan Workers’ Party" for the release of their leader Abdullah ÖCALAN. 6. "Rote Hilfe e.V." (RH - "Red Aid (reg’d)") Founded: 1975 Headquarters: Göttingen (Lower Saxony) (executive secretariat) Members: about 3,500 (1998: 3,000) Publication: Die Rote Hilfe" ("Red Aid"), quarterly "Rote Hilfe e.V." (RH - "Red Aid (reg’d)") sees itself as a "protection and solidarity organization, independent of any party and cutting across various movements". �Ã��Ã�
