Left-Extremist Endeavours

nover", describes itself as a "Communist organization" interested
in
"making other people aware of the capitalist mode of
production and informing the bourgeois state so as to
disseminate the insight that the State and capital can, and
must, be abolished if people are to live together on a
reasonable basis and without any self-produced social
constraints."
("RAZZ - Zeitung für ein radikales Hannover" ("Newspaper for
a radical Hanover"), no. 110, March 1999)
The main action issues and subjects of the JD/JL are "anti-fascism",
"anti-militarism", "antiracism" and "state-imposed repression".
In this regard, the organization offers "action camps" and
weekend seminars as well as classical "Capital" indoctrination
courses.
As priority issues, the JD/JL call for abolition of compulsory military
service and of the Federal Armed Forces (Bw), and legalization
of drugs. In addition, they are involved in the "anti-EXPO
activities" and in the campaign "Kein Mensch ist illegal!" ("No
person is illegal!") supported by left-wing extremists. One of the
main fields of JD/JL agitation, "anti-militarism", gained new impetus
by massive actions, meeting with considerable public response,
to disrupt the public oath-taking ceremony of recruits of
the Federal Armed Forces in Berlin on 20 July. Already in the
appeal 153) to join counter-events, the resistance fighters of 20
July 1944 around Graf Stauffenberg were defamed as "National-
Socialists by conviction" and as part of the "fascist Wehrmacht
[the armed services of the German Third Reich from 1935 to 1945]".
The JD/JL demanded disbandment of the Federal Armed Forces
(Bw) since the "fascist Wehrmacht" also played a role in the cultivation
of traditions as practised by the Bw. Already in the period
preceding the oath-taking ceremony, the the Kreiswehrersatzamt
(Kreis selective service board) in Berlin-Treptow was occupied
on 8 July; participants in this action included member of the
JD/JL from Berlin.
