Under the slogan of „Growth and Responsibility“, Germany plays host, from June 6th to 8th, to the group of 8 (the 7 most powerful industrial nations plus Russia) in the small seaside resort of Heiligendamm.
The G8 are not the “Spider in the Net”, or the “Control Room” of “Rapacious Capitalism”. It has to be understood as a form in which capitalist society reflects itself in a political dimension.
That´s why we call for the irreconcilable act of negation. Such a political act does not refer to the
“One Family” of the deceived and disappointed, but to the possibility to move capitalism in its totality into the focus of criticism: To criticise its structures in institutions and minds, and to develop a perspective beyond domination, violence, suppression and exploitation.
States and nationalism are no guarantors for a better world but for capitalism, shaped by racism and social exclusion. Social progress is obtained by fighting against state and nation - not by begging.
The radical left is committed to more than just intervention. Intervention without critical determination of its own position means nothing more than dumpish attendance. Through this, the left-wing becomes a useful tool - for wrong purposes.
Now it is necessary to speak out a clear denial to identity-founding categories as nation, religion and culture. Also the furiousness of left- and right-wing protests against single persons who are being identified as “the most evil in capitalism” in contradiction to “the oppressed”, has to be countermanded.
Because in capitalism domination has neither a name nor a concrete address, criticism should go the whole hog. We call for the primacy of our everyones needs above production. It´s “do or die” now! It´s about the whole hog!
