newspaper instead: You see the high penalties and the negotiation of the court rather than a special case of the "Swabian" land right in (as with the broken swastikas) - or rather as an expression of a nationwide tightening of police prosecution and adjudication? A: Well, certainly has something to do with what the sentence with the fact that Baden-Württemberg CDU Land just is - and always has been. The colors of course depend on the judiciary, then stop and tried with all seriousness to criminalize smashed swastikas. Even in our case is so much a part of the penalty to the "Swabian land rights" back.
the other hand, just the nationwide trend to observe, to punish especially left harder and harder: in Fürth (Bavaria) were just a couple of young people convicted because they had drawn with chalk anti-fascist slogans on the street (!) - such as an activist was forbidden to take part in anti-fascist demonstrations! In Berlin, sat an antifascist almost half a year in custody, only because two notorious Nazi racket accused him of attacking him to have. Two other anti-fascists were then sentenced to several years jail sentences, one is because he allegedly threw a bottle in the direction of a Nazi march, which by the way, despite several anonymous occurring LKA-witnesses could not be proved.
What these and our procedures are piling up lately, unfortunately, nationwide, is noticeable is that it by the investigating police, the prosecutor up to the courts for an absolute will to condemn exist. We have the concrete eg so expressed that the judge - came out as that exculpatory evidence had been withheld - said they did not interest him anyway.
place newspaper: What methods of deliberate depoliticization used judges and a prosecutor?
A: From a deliberate depoliticization can really only speak during the hearing: Constantly talking the judge and the prosecutor of a "carnival event - and not a Nazi concert. Also questions on the lining of the NPD witnesses did nothing at all to the point, but should only confirm the "harmless character" of the NPD party. Since the political character was totally obvious, of course, the judge forbade Kirby just go all statements in that direction and found it "not here for politics." To make it all the time to make it clear that it is not about a political process, all process observers also were searched meticulously for banners, signs and the like - each entered the courtroom again.
These "non-political" attitude changed suddenly in the speech of the prosecutor and the court's opinion: The fact that we are anti-fascists and to some extent already been convicted for anti-fascist action was seen as aggravating. For example, summonses were evaluated for use as a crossed-out swastikas to show that we had acted out of "political bigotry".
newspaper instead. What do you see the specific risk "of musical events" such as the Rennicke concert compared to right treatises or journals?
A: If Nazis distribute leaflets or bring their newspapers to the people, it is certainly bekämpfenswert enough. For young people this rather dry form of propaganda is right but often not very attractive.
about music can do on this particular Target group is often much easier to convey racist ideology. So right music and the often associated right lifestyle, usually the first contact with young fascist ideas. And by the way in staggering proportions, law-Rock is sometimes so successful that it will be implemented every year millions of euros every three days is only in Germany a new law-rock album on the market!
Therefore, the whole right music business also plays an important role in the financing of fascist organizations.
place newspaper: According to the report by Brigitte Renkl (1) is also a member of
you and / or support from the "Rote Hilfe" accused been. Could you please once again for his own Pofalla and the Hesse state in which the "Red Aid" is and what is not?
A: "accused" Well, we were a member of the "Red Aid" only in the "Stuttgarter Zeitung", and is known for her than objective representations and subtle negative reporting on Left. As was shown
on a spontaneous demonstration outside the court including a banner of the Red Aid, the present editor was taking us quickly to the "seven accused members of Red Aid.
The Red Aid is a cross-flow left solidarity organization dedicated to all the advanced because of their Activities of state repression are exposed to care. That is, the Red Aid is right-help tips, concerned and paid lawyers and creates public. So she tries to counteract the isolation and respond to the repression of our greatest strength - our solidarity!
why I think the way it is so important that all are somehow political left, a member of the Red assistance!
newspaper instead of how you see your your chances on the other courts?
A: We have loaded all appeals. That is, the process will continue in the next instance before the regional court in Stuttgart. From this court, we do not all too to expect much. Given only this: It was the Stuttgart Regional Court was strictly trying to wear swastikas crossed out and smashed a criminal offense, even when the matter had already caused nationwide outrage, were therefore still imposes heavy fines. was a few years ago before the same court in Stuttgart because of the anti-fascist distributing a leaflet calling on the to prevent a Nazi march that was supported by the former "SS-Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler", was sentenced to probation. Not
least is the Stuttgart prosecutor who refuses for years, the Nazi murderers of the Italian St. Anna di Stazzema over 500 people slaughtered have to pursue legal.
Despite these conditions, but we hope to be able to make our case even more popular, which would require the court to the many contradictions in the witnesses are involved and to respond to more than gaps in chain of evidence.
place newspaper: What potential do you write now to NPD brown or camaraderie?
A: Unfortunately, far too large. Basically, the scene is right for nearly 20 years in a fairly stable rise. Especially since the NPD ban proceedings failed in 2003 creates the NPD increasingly to unite the various right-wing. The electoral success resulted from the lead then to a further dangerous dynamics: more media coverage, creation of many new local groups, and despite many embarrassing margins, broadly continuous professionalisation of the party. Outside the NPD, for example in the so-called "free camaraderie," says the momentum is noticeable. There are now probably no area of social life in which the Nazis were not active and would expand their structures. There are the "national" child care as the HDJ-camps, women's organizations, right, right now even more dominated subcultures, clothing labels and mailings that are worth millions, the above mentioned very professional music scene right, fascist Newspapers nationwide kiosk are available on every second - and not to forget a lot of people who feel personally concerned by the propaganda of the Nazis, or support them actively. In Baden-Württemberg to the last state election a little over 90 000 people have voted NPD, 50 000 more Republicans. This popularity certainly has something to do with the fact that more and more people - from the social decline under threat - think of the easy answers of the fascists, are the solution to complex social problems. Unfortunately, this has nothing to something with the relative weakness of anti-capitalist left, do this now would be but a completely different topic.
They were now only a Some key points to the current development, I think but you can not paint the devil on the wall, saying that the Nazis here are the step away from the scene towards a fascist movement to make. At least the development in some areas in East Germany (but not only!) Confirms this hypothesis.
make Unfortunately, still too few people aware of the dimensions of the Nazi problem has been adopted. Shall find themselves in positions of the Left always play down the danger of fascism, rather than to finally be adequately active.
place newspaper: Gremliza had one of the last numbers of "concrete" thought it of state power come primarily from the fact a deterrent Example of "extreme" at all for showing to keep-speak for your application to "extreme left". As you can see it?
A: Gremlizas thesis is indeed that NPD and others openly fascist emerging organizations are not prohibited because the rejection they evoke, in the course of staatsdoktrinären extremism thesis that does not know left and right, but only "extremist", can be just as turned against the Left.
There's much truth in it, precisely this reasoning, the currently dominant Gremliza as described, is always brought into play when fundamental criticism is leveled at the system. According to the motto: It is known where the system leads criticism of the Nazis, So must every other attempt to build an anti-capitalist perspective, be criminal. The fact that this logic can be only in terms of which the status quo that is characterized by welfare cuts, unemployment, war and many other injustices that do maintain is clear.
Another interesting aspect of the Gremliza Specifically, in the appeals is that if NPD and other Nazis were banned at the most right-wing fringe of the political spectrum are those who would are currently in power: Schäuble, Beckstein and Co. Thus, for example people be deported to crisis areas and it is even as Interior Minister, not as inhumane and racist here, because there is still the Nazis again very different handling of refugees ...
A weakness has the reasoning Gremlizas though: He says that the Nazis had no system-maintaining function more for capital - and would take such a role and no more. That's not entirely true though is that the German bourgeoisie currently have no interest in a too-strong fascist movement, and certainly none of a fascist dictatorship in Germany. Though this mainly to the fact that the moment any attack on the living conditions of workers, it was Hartz IV, raising the retirement age, declining real wages, as ever more brutal war, without much Resistance can be performed. A strong anti-capitalist left would change the ratio of capital to the fascists and their design company but probably quite quickly. expect that the ruling
well established with the not currently available resistance to their policy, incidentally, shows the current area-wide expansion of surveillance, now legalized Bundeswehr mission in the interior and some other recent measures ...
