Declaration concerning the labour strike from 21-01 to 26-01-14
As a small contribution to the days of resistance against the WEF (World Economic Forum ) in Davos, the recurring annual international meeting of the rulers of politics, capital , science, their strategists and their lackeys. In solidarity with the revolutionary prisoner Marco Camenisch, who since December 30. and January 26. 2014 is in a hunger and work strike.
For many years much has been written about the importance of the WEF which is not repeated here. Though one thing remains clear, for the financial center Switzerland , The Swiss-government and for the ruling class in this country the WEF is and remains one of the "most important social events of the year" .
Meanwhile, Schwab and Co. know, the classic arrogance of those in power, he shows his stance in picture book arrogance, when he tries to blackmail the population of Davos and surrounding communities: either you pay homage to the invasion of ruling capitalists and tolerate their whatever behavior , or we will leave Davos. The competition is huge!
The program is tight, as always. A look into the Top 10 contents prepared by the Global Agenda Councils in Abu Dhabi shows the direction in which their analysis of the imperialist crisis goes: at the top are the growing tensions in the Middle East and Africa, which means war tendencies, the expansion of the income gap, so an increase in class division, persistent structural unemployment and especially youth unemployment, the global growth of a young industrial reserve army, and the declining confidence in economic politics.
It is interesting for us that "The growing importance of Megacities" is seen as an opportunity for the capitalist economy and not as a problem.
With the cynicism of power , the World Economic Forum in Davos refers to the major social disasters of the world's floods of refugees: the simulation of a refugee camp. " Participants will learn in 75 minutes, the feeling of powerlessness of refugees in the camps ... " the Director of Experimental Programs comments. While in the same bourgeois newspaper a small column, states "Hunger deaths in the refugee camp - no help for Yarmuk in Syria ". Long since forgotten the many EU-election promises of those in power after the "deaths of Lampedusa ". The dying , the ill-treatment, the deportations are again "courant normal". While in ever more luxurious residences in Davos the leaders and their minions responsible for the causes of these migrations, the imperialist crises, exploitation campaigns and wars are amongst themselves and prepare their plans, coordinate, fight about contradictions and sign contracts!
Increasing mass uprising, revolts, class struggles and resistance in different continents areon the other side of the barricades , to which we refer each year in solidarity and in resistance against the WEF.
Marco Camenisch, who is in a hunger and labor strike against the provocations by the prison regime and in solidarity with the resistance against the WEF, has my deepest respect and solidarity: For over 23 long years in prison he has not been broken. He defends his political, revolutionary identity against all attempts at blackmail by the state, who insists, that to have a conditional release taken into cinsideration, which they should have done since 2012, he has to revoke his political position and opinions.
So he does not let himself be psychiatrically evaluated to let the class justice "prove" that he is not sick, but a politically conscious person with clear break-positions to the capitalist system; he did not dissociate himself from his identity as an anarchist and he does not distance himself from his comrades on various continents, friends and interested parties, with whom he maintains lively, vibrant, dynamic and political relations.
Solidarity and love for Marco – Solidarity with the political prisoners worldwide
Capitalism has no mistakes – capitalism is the mistake – wide out WEF
