Scânteia As – Nr. 5 septembrie - octombrie 2009 patronilor sa intensifice exploatarea pana la epuizare a celor inca angajati, totul cu scopul de a face intreprinderile mai bine pregatite concurentei internationale din ce in ce mai inversunate. Se urmareste de asemenea scaderea salariilor si reducerea unor drepturi ale muncitorilor. Aceste fenomene se observa acum mai ales in industria automobilelor. Red. In aceasta luni saptamanalul Financial Times Germany a raportat in exclusivitate ca s-a ajuns la un moratoriu intre marile monopoluri si guvern in ce priveste amanarea concedierilor pana dupa alegeri. In mod sigur se va urmari si marirea impozitelor indirecte, reduceri drastice in programele de asistenta sociala, reduceri de pensii, reduceri in sistemul Hartz IV de ocrotire sociala. Aceasta campanie electorala este doar un ragaz pentru ceea ce va urma! Noi trebuie sa spunem clar ca dupa alegeri se va plati drastic! Iar clasa muncitoare, masele largi de oameni ai muncii nu vor avea alta solutie decat sa lupte impotriva acestor incercari de aruncare a crizei pe umerii lor. Care este esenta campaniei MLPD? Stefan Engel Lucrul cel mai important este ca aceasta campanie sa fie o parte a ofensivei noastre pentru socialismul autentic. Trebuie sa profitam de deplasarea maselor spre stanga pentru a le castiga de partea alternativei socialiste revolutionare. Desigur ca in cadrul stangii fortele reformiste inca domina. Partidul Stangii, de exemplu, trebuie demascat, dar fara a rupe legaturile cu membrii sai de rand. Multi membri si simpartizanti ai acestuia raman pentru noi cei mai importanti aliati in lupta pentru apararea beneficiilor sociale, impotriva neofascismului, impotriva misiunii militare din Afghanistan. Dar cu toate acestea noi trebuie sa spunem oamenilor adevarul, trebuie sa le spunem ca lozinca lui Lafontaine despre "economia oamenilor liberi", fara abolirea capitalismului, este o iluzie, o fantezie inselatoare care face rau luptei de clasa. Daca muncitorimea doreste sa se elibereze din exploatare ea trebuie sa rastoarne sistemul capitalist. Acesta este motivul pentru care ofensiva pentru socialismul autentic trebuie imbinata cu lupta impotriva reformismului mic-burghez, a iluziilor parlamentariste cultivate de acesta, mai ales in conditiile in care masele manifesta o deschidere spre noi mai mare ca niciodata pana acum. Red.Cum se manifesta aceasta deschidere Stefan Engel In timpul pregatirilor pentru aceasta campanie am putut observa ca anti-comunismul nu mai este acum obstacolul principal in calea strangerii de semnaturi. Am strans 40 000 de semnaturi, pentru care a trebuit sa ducem circa 200 000 de discutii individuale in care a trebuit sa ne delimitam clar de partidele burgheze fata de care se observa o nemultumire tot mai mare. Oamenii trebuie sa inteleaga ca aceasta nemultumire nu este suficienta, ca nu trebuie sa cada in negativism si defetism ci trebuie sa se organizeze si sa lupte pentru drepturile lor, altfel se poate ajunge la o intarire a extremismului de dreapta. Strangerea de semnaturi a reprezentat o importanta batalie preliminara, pe care o putem considera un succes. Am reusit sa strangem semnaturi in toate statele federale. Campania electorala va avea rolul de a intensifica aceste discutii pe care le-am purtat cu oamenii cu ocazia strangerii de semnaturi. B. Stânga internațională Fiecare ofensiva presupune depunerea unor insemnate eforturi. Acum este timpul sa le facem! In urmatoarele saptamani vom fi in strada zilnic, in mijlocul oamenilor, dedicandu-ne toata activitatea lucrului cu masele. Iar "spiritul Hamburgului" ne va ajuta foarte mult. Va trebui sa punem accentul si pe realizarea de aliante cu diferitele organizatii ale imigrantilor, in vederea realizarii unei campaneii comune. Red. Ati putea sa ne spuneti ce probleme se discuta acum in MLPD? Stefan Engel Cum este firesc, fiecare disputa sociala se reflecta in partid, intr-un fel sau altul. Unii incearca sa evite polarizarea. Cei nemultumiti de numarul crescand de voturi pentru Partidul Stangii si lipsiti de rabdarea necesara lucrului cu masele sunt nemultumiti de faptul ca muncitorii nu pornesc la lupta imediat si incep sa se ploconeasca in fata spontaneitatii. In acest fel isi pot face loc in partidul nostru diletantismul si dezorganizarea. Totusi trebuie spus ca ne descurcam destul de bine in lupta cu aceste tendinte, in buna parte datorita marelui entuziasm de care dau dovada membrii nostri, entuziasm pe care multe alte partide si l-ar dori. Ofensiva noastra pentru socialismul autentic avanseaza si nu poate fi oprita. Red. Ce ne puteti spune despre munca cu tineretul? Stefan Engel Taberele de vara, organizate in comun de MLPD si de liga sa de tineret Rebell s-au incheiat cu succes. S-au discutat probleme politice, s-a organizat activitati culturale si sportive, a fost cultivat spiritul de echipa, organizatia Vulpile Rosii s-a aflat din nou la inaltime. Dar nu trebuie sa ne culcam pe o ureche daca vrem sa faurim o organizatie de tineret de masa! Noi am decis ca ofensiva pentru socialismul autentic sa se orienteze in special spre tineri, in randul carora un mai mare spirit de lupta trebuie cultivat! Red. Ce doriti sa spuneti in inheiere? Stefan Engel Trebuie sa luptam pentru fiecare vot, nu doar pentru ca voturile sunt importante dar mai ales pentru ca trebuie sa folosim aceasta campanie pentru a schimba modul de gandire al oamenilor, pentru ca pentru multi votul pentru MLPD este adeseori doar primul pas in lupta pentru o noua societate, pentru socialismul autentic. B.c.2. Interview with the chairman of the MLPD, Stefan Engel, dated August 26, 2009 (Published in Red Flag, August 28, 2009 The Offensive for Genuine Socialism can no longer be held up! The national parliamentary election campaign of the MLPD began with the brilliant opening event in Hamburg. How did this success come about? | © copyright As. Scânteia - www.scanteiaasociatie.ro 33
Scânteia As – Nr. 5 septembrie - octombrie 2009 This opening event was really an all-round success! The voter initiative groups from the northern federal states took this opening event as an opportunity for an excursion, making the central event to their own cause, and this also strengthened solidarity. In addition, numerous participants and visitors from Hamburg and from the entire coastal region attended. The rally was visited by 800 participants, the cultural event by 1,500 and 1,000 people participated in the demonstration from the site of the rally to that of the cultural event. That in turn was seen by thousands of passers-by and Hamburg residents and so -often for the first time -the MLPD became known as a militant and attractive – just revolutionary! - party. The basic idea of this inspiring opening event was to combine the orientation to the parliamentary election campaign with the first larger election event and in this way to put our focus of party building on Hamburg into practice. We succeeded in this lock, stock and barrel! So the "spirit of Hamburg" will spread to our election campaign all over the country. What is the most important thing in the national parliamentary elections? It is important that we dissociate ourselves from bourgeois parliamentarism in principle. This bourgeois parliamentarism says that people’s fates are determined by parliamentary elections. However, in reality it is a fact that the number of votes will have only little influence on the politics of the ruling monopolies. Nevertheless, we are fighting for each and every vote in these elections. This might first seem to some people to be a contradiction. The struggle for each and every vote is, however, decisive. This struggle aims at changing people; it creates consciousness and self-confidence. In this way we lead and we learn to conduct a struggle over the mode of thinking that ultimately aims at winning the decisive majority of the working class for socialism and involving the broad masses in the struggle against the government. Anyone who does not understand these dialectics is quickly influenced by bourgeois parliamentarism. He only evaluates the activities of the MLPD with regard to the election results and this is onesided. However, due to the given conditions within the whole system of electoral manipulation, we can exert only small influence on these results. However, we do have full influence on the way we face the masses, how we discuss with people, how we convince them, how we represent our party, which forms of organizations we create and how we succeed in building up our party systematically and in making it more attractive to the core of the industrial proletariat, the broad masses of people and especially the masses of the women and the youth. What is the most important content of the parliamentary election campaign of the MLPD? Of course, we have to deal with the most important basic questions of the political and economic situation. The ruling class really insistently attempts to push aside exactly these basic questions in this election campaign. By no means do they want to polarize! B. Stânga internațională Under the conditions of the existing world economic crisis they, of course, always run the risk that the discontent of the people turns against them as ruling parties and against those who caused the crisis in the corporate top management of the international supermonopolies. Therefore, it is especially important that we place these decisive crucial questions into the center of attention, attack the bourgeois parties and polemicize. We, of course, do not join in their soft-soap course. The discussion about the world economic and financial crisis will probably be in the center of attention. Of course! Since the last week the attempt is being made to convince people that the economic and financial crisis is over. It is as if this had been ordered right for the start of the federal election campaign. This is obviously a manoeuvre. It is correct that the decline of the economy could be curbed and that some factors have even developed positively. However, it is still an open question at the moment whether these are small fluctuations within the framework of the downward trend of the crisis or whether it marks a transition to a stagnation at the lowest level. At the same time, we have to realize that we are still at the level of the year 2000 regarding industrial production. German exports in June also were 22 per cent below the level of June 2008. In no case can we speak of an end of the world economic and financial crisis. On the contrary, the main effects of this world economic and financial crisis are still to come. In the USA, the breakdown of banks is continuing; last Friday the 81st bank collapsed since the beginning of the world economic and financial crisis. Further gigantic speculative bubbles, as in the sector of credit cards or with further foul bonds, can burst any time and trigger a new push in the crisis development. In Germany the preparations for comprehensive job cuts in big industry and in the service and trade sector etc. are just beginning. The insolvencies up to now were only a foretaste of what is to come. In July alone, 64 international monopolies have announced their intention to cut 600,000 jobs worldwide. Even bourgeois experts reckon with a rise in the official unemployment figures by 1 to 1.5 million by the end of next year. All this will have repercussions on the economic development. Above all, however, the burden of the crisis will be shifted onto the people in various ways. In the center is the gigantic intensification of the exploitation of the workers in the enterprises by means of an increase in the intensity of labor. The fear of the loss of jobs and the method of short-time work etc. are being mercilessly used for intensifying the exploitation in the enterprises and wearing people down. At the same time, the crisis is being used for restructuring the enterprises, gearing them to a new round in the international competitive struggle and forcing the workers into identifying themselves with their respective monopolies. The focus of this is the automobile industry. This will be connected to a series of attacks upon wage and working conditions, but also upon workers’ rights, which of course will be discussed openly only after the elections. | © copyright As.
