The Gaza genocide – the disgrace of the global north

It is to our eternal shame that we now enter the third year since the start of the most recent genocidal attacks, by the military of the Zionist settler state of Israel, upon the colonised people of Palestine. Using, as an excuse, a justifiable armed attack on the colonisers at military installations; a kibbutzim (an agricultural complex but with a military structure with all adults armed and trained in military tactics) constructed on stolen land and which was only 3 kilometres from the Gaza fence; and a music festival (which was only 5 kilometres from the Gaza fence and was, therefore, a display of contempt for the Gazans as they had been starved of resources for decades); the occupying fascist government unleashed an (even for them) unprecedented vicious and sustained attack on the whole of the Palestinian population in occupied Gaza.

Statements made by representatives of the Zionist settler state made it clear from Day1 what their intentions were. Their genocidal intent wasn’t something that developed as the days wore on – it was the driving force behind their assault on the Palestinian people from the beginning and was of such ferocity and organisation that it had to have been a plan just waiting for implementation.

What was also clear from the first days of the assault on the Palestinian people was the fact that the overwhelming majority of the Israeli population was in total agreement with the murderous actions and intentions of the military and the politicians. Here there was no separation from the desires of the ‘leadership’ and the led. All the years of oppression of the Palestinian people had not achieved the desired result, that is a servile mass that would just accept whatever the colonisers imposed so the foreign invaders could enjoy the fruits of their stolen booty, so here there was an opportunity to ‘finish the job’.

The Zionist reaction to the attack of 7th October 2023 allowed the rest of the world to see the true face of Israeli society. The removal of the mask, that years of propaganda and claims of victimhood had kept hidden, allowed more people throughout the world to see the true face of Zionism. This was that, at its core, Israeli society was no different from any other coloniser in various parts of the world in the past; its racism; its dehumanisation of the indigenous population; its arrogance; its separatism; its contempt for any other than their small tribe; its belief in its own superiority; its supremacy; its exceptionalism; its fear; its divorce from reality.

The genocide and ethnic cleansing we have witnessed in Gaza over the last couple of years has also allowed the populations in all the ‘western’ countries, without exception, to see the true nature of their own governments, where the capitalist interests lie and the real role of (what is now described as) the mainstream media.

If politicians had any shame they would hang their heads when they see replays of themselves going through all kinds of verbal acrobatics to NOT describe the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians as ‘genocide’ – even when there are countless images of Zionist politicians saying that is exactly what they are in the process of carrying out in Gaza. It has been amazing, and instructive, to see how brazen these so-called ‘representatives of the people’ have maintained this pro-Zionist stance in the face of overwhelming evidence of what the Zionists are perpetrating in the name of ‘self-defence’.

They recently have made meaningless declarations such as ‘recognising the Palestinian state’ when all that exists of such a state is a vast pile of rubble. They act as if they had experienced some sort of Damascene conversion when the veil that had been covering their eyes (but which was clear from the start to millions of normal people throughout the world) was removed and they could actually see that there was suffering and starvation of a whole population in Gaza. But words are cheap and any action that would have had any meaning, that would have had any effect on the slaughter of the innocents, there was none.

The shallowness of this ‘realisation’ was demonstrated in Britain, for example, by the decision of the Starmer Labour government (at around the same time as talk of ‘recognition’ of the Palestinian state was being mooted) with the proscription Palestine Action, a direct action group; proposing to introduce even more stringent laws to prevent continuing protests against the genocide; increasing harassment and persecution of activists and honest journalists not in the pay of the establishment; and calling students who were preparing to protest on the second anniversary of the start of the genocide as ‘un-British’.

The accusation of not being British enough was presumably making the point that to be truly ‘British’ you should be in support of colonialism and the consequent theft and murder that that has entailed over the centuries and of which Britain, nor any of the other European colonial powers have ever been held accountable; turning the two Jews (of whom at least one was killed and another injured by gunfire from the British police) at an attack at a synagogue in Manchester on 2nd October into virtual martyrs for the cause of Zionism – when there was no clear understanding of why the attack on the Manchester synagogue took place; and attempting to shame any supporter of Palestine as being uncaring if they continue to call for the end of the slaughter at marches and demonstrations on subsequent days; and all the time continuing to actively support the Zionists in their genocide by means of information provided by British spy aircraft operating out of Cyprus (the presence of the British in that country being yet another remnant of the colonial past) and the supplying of vital equipment which allows the Zionist air force to continue its day and night bombardment of refugees sheltering in tents.

Although the Labour Government can be rightly condemned for its pro-Zionist actions and its attacks upon those who protest the inhuman treatment of millions of Palestinians in Gaza those Labourites who continue to support the party also must share much of the blame. Those who shamelessly listened to (and applauded) the empty speeches of concern at the recent Labour Party Annual Conference in Liverpool are as culpable of the genocide as are those in the leadership and the overwhelming number of the Members of Parliament. However, those Labour Party members who continue as members of the party and those who continue to support this pro-genocide grouping in elections (by putting a cross on a piece of paper next to the names of Labour candidates) are equally to blame. Governments, not only in Britain, but throughout the world (although mainly in the grouping of countries under the general banner of the ‘west’) can only continue to sanction mass murder if there is a base that provides them with legitimacy.

If not for the sake of their humanity it should be a matter of their own self-interest. How is a government going to care and be concerned about the people in its own country if it is prepared to tolerate (let alone oppose) such actions of the armed forces of the Zionist settler state in Gaza? ALL events in the world are inter-related. It is not possible to separate what is happening domestically from what is happening internationally. What is happening in Gaza is inextricably linked to what is happening in the Ukraine and the other parts of the world where United States funded ‘democratic’ movements are making life difficult for any government that doesn’t totally accept the diktat of the US and its acolytes in the European Union and a few other servile nations traditionally tailing behind whatever their ‘daddy’ decides. (We should not ignore the irony that these movements that are promoted for seeking ‘democracy’ in their own countries are urged on by nations that are increasingly restricting ‘democracy’ in the donor/supporting nations – not least prompted by the mass opposition to the slaughter in Gaza.)

Whilst austerity measures are introduced in all those western ‘democracies’, adversely affecting the lives of the majority, there is no shortage of funding for ‘defence’. Whilst many millions in the US and Europe are struggling to survive the expenditure on arms continues and is planned to increase to level favourable to the US. And one of the principal recipients of this western largesse in the Zionist settler state of Israel – which could not be able to carry out their murders without the full and active support of the former colonial powers. None of these governments are bystanders. In various ways they assist, support and allow to happen all the atrocities to which the Palestinian people are subjected. In the court of world public opinion – if not in any of the ineffectual international courts – they are as guilty as the Zionist politicians, Israel Defence Forces and the general population of Israel itself.

There are many similarities between previous genocides and the one that is currently under way in Gaza. There’s racism; dehumanisation of those under attack; claims of victimhood and ‘innocence’ by the perpetrators; distortions of the facts; an unrelenting propaganda campaign; the constant repetition of lies and misinformation; broken promises and agreements/treaties; and a total contempt for anything related to the indigenous population.

But there is one very important and significant difference to those genocides that have gone before – even those in recent years in Africa and Asia. This genocide is being ‘live streamed’. Modern technology and the concomitant diversity of social media mean that it is impossible to conceal what is happening on the ground. If the vast majority in the ‘global north’ don’t know exactly what is going on in Gaza then they have made a conscious decision NOT to know. This is even more so when we have the murderers broadcasting their own crimes as a matter of pride, be they the fascist, Zionist politicians or individual members of the IDF. Their stupidity and arrogance condemn them, but they are too stupid and arrogant to realise it. But their sense of superiority and entitlement means they continue in the manner they have been acting for decades. The only difference now is in the frequency and open manner in which they make such statements. If there are no consequences why not?

Although all the facts about what happened on the morning of October 7th, 2023, were still coming out the story being told by the Zionists didn’t ring true. Their stories of atrocities were too fantastical; very quickly holes were picked in the testimonies of the ‘witnesses’ and ‘experts’ – individuals and organisations we don’t hear about any more, them having played their role; information started to come out about the Hannibal Directive (where dead Israelis were preferred to captured Israelis); and contradictions in the narrative became more and more obvious and less people were convinced by the ‘official’ record of events.

As time went on ALL of the more fantastical reports (beheaded babies; babies cooked in ovens; children tortured and then killed in front of their parents; organised and systematic mass rapes; desecration and dismemberment of the dead) were all proven to be mere inventions of the Zionist propaganda machine. Two years later not a scintilla of evidence has been produced to substantiate any of these accusations, yet they are still being repeated by the Zionist fascists and their supporters in the west.

But the settler state didn’t just need to depend upon their own propaganda machine and structure. They were ably supported by the group of parasites and ignoramuses that go under the name of journalists. These ‘stenographers’, paid handsomely for producing their lies and distortions, just repeated (and continue to repeat) anything that was fed to them which put the perpetrators of the genocide as justified in their murderous intent. They, after all, had the ‘right to defend themselves’.

Anyone with an iota of analytical ability can see this in either the written, spoken or televised reports on the events over the last two years. By its very reporting it shows itself culpable in the lies that are spewing out of the US/Europe supported colony of the Eastern Mediterranean. The uncritical and supine acceptance of anything that is stated by the Zionists and their supporters; the use of passive language when referring to anything to which the Palestinians are subjected; the manner in which anything coming from the Palestinians is automatically treated as ‘suspect’ by the addition of a single word – Hamas – after years of conditioning that makes some people immediately suspicious of their version of events, their numbers of dead and injured; the liberal use of the word ‘terrorist’ whenever referring to anyone fighting against the murderous military attacks by the Zionists and the refusal to accept that states can also be ‘terrorist’; and the very fact of calling what is happening in Gaza a ‘war’ – as if there are two sides which are equal in terms of resources rather than the fact of a force with some of the most ‘sophisticated’ weapons of the 21st century being use against a few guerrilla fighters armed with small arms, a few grenades and the occasional IED (improvised explosive device). The misuse (on purpose?) of the language of war even extends to the 7th October 2025 when the BBC ‘senior correspondent’ Jeremy Bowen talked about the ongoing discussions about the most recent demand that the Palestinian lay down their arms and capitulate was headlined as ‘will Israel and Hamas seize the opportunity to end the war’.

Also on the 7th October 2025, on the BBC website, there was wall to wall coverage of how the Israelis were commemorating the events of 2023 but virtually no reference to a) the fact (even accepted by the Israelis in reports published during the last couple of years) that the majority of Israelis killed on that day were killed by the IDF (following the Hannibal Directive) or b) the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who had been killed by the Zionists in their genocidal and virtually uninterrupted attack upon the whole of Gaza for two whole years. And on the 8th the BBC grovelled before a Zionist criticism that they had used the word ‘escalation’ and didn’t give enough coverage to the Zionist narrative.

What is also different (or possibly not) is the attitude of the colonising and genocidal country’s population and its attitude to the genocide. In the distant past with the level of communication it was plausible for people to say they didn’t know what was happening – even though in their name. Whether that would have been true is another matter. After the defeat of the Nazis in 1945 the people of Germany tried to convince the world that they didn’t know anything about the extermination camps. The people of Weimar argued that even though the Buchenwald Concentration Camp was within sight of the town.

However, we now know – and it had been becoming quite clear from the early days of the genocide with the sort of postings that were being made on social media – that the overwhelming majority of the Israeli population (polls consistently show the high 80s percentage points) agree with the extermination of the Palestinians in Gaza. So, genocide is not just something that can be laid at the door of the military or political leaders. The present genocide has the support of most of the Israeli population. They state it. They are proud of it. They are as guilty as Netanyahu.

Protests against the genocide started almost immediately in many countries. Protests have been going on ever since and in many places there are regular, weekly protests which bring a substantial number of people out on the streets. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken action letting their governments know that the murderous activity of the Zionist settler state should be stopped. And the result has been – nothing. Empty words, sometimes, but anything that would end the slaughter never. Weasel words from politicians aplenty but concrete action to stop supplying the wherewithal to carry out the genocide is never forthcoming.

A growing number of brave people frustrated that marching in the streets and demanding an end to the genocide was getting nowhere have upped the stakes. There have already been a number of people on boats attempting to break the blockade of Gaza, but they have all been attacked by the Zionist military – with any number of international laws being broken in the process. The reaction of the governments of the countries from which these people come has been abysmal – although not surprising. More often than not they just keep quiet, not responding to requests for them to do what they should do in such circumstances and in this they are aided by the pusillanimous mainstream media and the cretins that call themselves journalists.

In Britain, in response to the proscription of a direct action group in support of Palestine, many people (of all ages but the majority of them being older, retired people) have peacefully sat in public places holding signs which are technically illegal under the terrorist laws put in place by a Labour government. To date more than a couple of thousand people have been arrested for being in breach of the draconian terrorist legislation but to date no one has appeared in court. It will be interesting to see what happens when the first case is heard – although it would not be a surprise if some technicality is invented to defuse the situation. (The British Government gave new life to the defunct Official Solicitor during the Dockers’ Strike of 1972 to get itself out of the hole it had dug for itself.) If enforced in the way it was intended the whole of the British legal and prison system would collapse. But the main aim is to intimidate and create fear in the population – which, so far, hasn’t worked in Britain (or in any other country).

Although polls show that the majority of people are against the genocide and ethnic cleansing the majority do nothing. People will applaud demonstrators as they march pass and cars will toot their horns in a sign of agreement. Such demonstrations are treated as some sort of performance. That the people marching are representatives of those on the side lines. But that’s not enough.

Hundreds of people marching every week have achieved nothing. Not one Palestinian has been saved from a painful death due to all those good intentions. If thousands and not hundreds had been marching through town centres throughout the country every week then we might have seen some changes. But that’s not likely to happen before there are no people in Gaza alive to support.

But all is not lost. The recent strikes and protests in Italy over a combination of repugnance at the government’s attitude to the genocide and domestic failings show us the way forward. Organised labour has to get actively involved and capitalism must start paying the costs of the crimes it is committing at the moment in Palestine.

If capitalism can get away with the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza they will have the confidence to attack even more the condition of workers in the rest of the world. If they can get away with the slaughter of the Palestinians then other groups will be in their sights. We can already see the growth of the early stages of the militarisation of the so-called ‘developed’ societies. Lose the battle against the Zionists and the battle will be on our own doorsteps.

‘If we could learn to look instead of gawking,
We’d see the horror in the heart of farce,
If only we could act instead of talking,
We wouldn’t always end up on our arse.
This was the thing that nearly had us mastered;
Don’t yet rejoice in his defeat, you men!
Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard,
The bitch that bore him is in heat again.’

Bertolt Brecht, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

Due to the failure of the international ‘community’ to do anything to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing (over almost five months now) by the US-backed Zionist settler state in Occupied Palestine in Gaza the links to articles/podcasts etc., shining a light on this humanitarian disaster has grown exponentially.

On this page (and in posts that cover the months following 7th October 2023, see the links above) the aim is to present a view of this internationally – at least by the so-called ‘West’ – sanctioned mass murder.

Some people who visit this page might be familiar with the terms that are commonly used in the articles, the links to which are provided below. However, some may not. That being the case it seems to be a good idea to give a few definitions of some of the more often used terminology. These definitions have been provided by Comrades at bannedthought, a site that also provides a great deal of material about revolutionary movements throughout the world.

Ernst Thälmann – German Communist leader – statue in Moscow

Posted on 06/07/2024 by Michael

Ernst Thälmann – German Communist leader

Ernst Thaelmann – German Communist leader – statue in Moscow

It’s difficult to work out the thinking in the early days after the collapse of the (then Revisionist) Soviet Union in 1991 when it comes to revolutionary monuments. They display an element of schizophrenia, not knowing how to deal with the Soviet, Socialist past. But if you take something away with what are you going to replace it? Prior to the October Revolution of 1917 Russia was a backward, undeveloped, country with a population in the countryside that had barely moved from serfdom. The working class was small – yet highly organised and with a political understanding far exceeding that of their companions in the countries of the ‘west’ – and militarily it was of no consequence.

It was the construction of Socialism from 1917 to 1953 that built the country that turned the Soviet Union from a backward, peasant dominated country to an industrialised country with a sophisticated infrastructure and, after the re-construction following the Great Patriotic War, one of the most powerful nations on earth. And, of course, it was the Soviet Union that played the pivotal role in the defeat of Nazism.

So going back to the ‘pre-revolutionary’ period for imagery and options wasn’t really an option so, at least initially. As time moved on the defeat of the Napoleonic imperialist invasion was promoted to greater importance and the iconography of the Orthodox Church appeared in more public spaces.

Statues and other representations of JV Stalin had been removed in the 1950s after Khrushchev’s denunciation at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. This culminated in the removal of his body from the mausoleum he had shared with VI Lenin, for more than seven years, in October 1961. But even then this removal was carried out in the dead of night and at a time when the announcement could have been ‘buried’ by news of a successful nuclear test. However, such a radical move with the body of Lenin, the new capitalists feared, would almost certainly have been met with substantial public opposition.

Nonetheless, there are still images of, or references to, Stalin in public places in Moscow, such as; the roundel which depicts both VI Lenin and JV Stalin in the external decoration of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic pavilion at the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy (VDNKh); a young woman carries a copy of Stalin’s written works at the Kievskaya, Line 3, Metro station; and he also appears on a bas relief on the platform of Ploschad Vosstaniya Metro station in Leningrad.

There have been continued suggestions about the removal/destruction of the Lenin mausoleum (as was the fate of Georgi Dimitrov in Sofia, Bulgaria) but I would think that such discussions will get nowhere the longer the structure remains in its prominent location in Red Square.

In the early days of the collapse of the Soviet Union, when confusion reigned and any remaining Communist organisation was less than functional, a number of statues and monuments were either removed or destroyed with some of those that were taken down later re-appearing at the Muzeon Art Park.

At the same time there are still almost a hundred statues of VI Lenin in the Greater Moscow area, mostly in local communities but only a handful in the city centre (including the sculptural assembly in Oktyabrskaya Square); Karl Marx still gives a speech just across the road from the Bolshoi Theatre; Frederick Engels stands in a small square near the rebuilt Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, across the road from the ornate entrance to Kropotkinskaya metro station; and there’s a somewhat strange monument to Uncle Ho (Ho Chi Minh) close to the entrance to Akademicheskaya metro station south of the city centre.

And then there’s the statue to Ernst Thaelmann, the German Communist Party leader who was imprisoned by the Nazis and eventually murdered in their custody.

Ernst Thälmann – Moscow

Fifty years old by Wilhelm Pieck

Ernst Thaelmann will be fifty years old on the sixteen of April. There is hardly a corner of the world where the name of the imprisoned leader of the Communist Party of Germany is not uttered with warmth and emotion by all workers and friends of peace and liberty and where his release is not insistently demanded. Ernst Thaelmann, whom the bloodthirsty hangmen of the German proletariat have already kept in prison for three years, whom they are torturing and ill-treating, has become the symbol of the struggle against war and Fascism, the struggle for Socialism, all over the world.

It was a long journey, rich in sacrifice and struggle, that the Hamburg docker, Ernst Thaelmann, had to make before he grew to be the great leader of the producing masses of Germany and one of the most popular leaders of the Communist International.

As the son of a class-conscious worker organised in the Social-Democratic Party, Ernst Thaelmann came into the Socialist movement in his early youth. He was hardly sixteen years old when he joined the Social-Democratic Party. The indigent circumstances of a proletarian family drove him very early into the drudgery of capitalist exploitation. These circumstances prevented him from following the well-meant advice of his teachers that this talented working-class boy should continue his education.

Ernst Thaelmann began his independent proletarian existence as a porter in the Hamburg docks. He made a trip to America as a coal trimmer, and worked as a daily labourer on American farms. Thus the international character of capitalist exploitation was hammered into him in early youth – but at the same time it taught him militant life of the international working class. Arriving back in Hamburg, he devoted his whole energy and all his spare time to work in party and trade union. After a heavy day’s work and an evening spent in the service of the organisation, he voraciously read and studied the Socialist literature. At first his activities were mainly in the trade union field. Very soon his work for the organisation, his personal courage, his self-sacrifice and the successful way in which he stood up for the workers’ demands, won him the confidence of the workers. They elected him to the local executive of their trade union, they sent him four times as delegate to the congress of the Transport Workers’ Union. And already in those days Ernst Thaelmann began his open and determined fight against opportunism.

In Hamburg, Germany’s largest city serving international trade, all the shady sides of the capitalist system were in evidence in their most blatant forms. Besides the strata of labor aristocrats corrupted by colonial surplus profits, it was the circumstance that Hamburg was the seat of a number of central trade union and co-operative institutions with their large bureaucratic apparatus which, more than anything, supplied a firm foundation for opportunism. Among other things it is also noteworthy that after the Revolution of 1918 these opportunist elements in Hamburg became the representatives of the most reactionary and right-wing opinions in Social Democracy. In order to indicate their attitude, it is enough to mention that it was one of the leaders of reactionary Hamburg Social-Democracy (Sarendorff) who replied to the united front proposals of the Communists before Hitler’s assumption to power with the provocative statement that he would ten times rather go with the bourgeoisie than once with the Communists.

In the struggle with these reactionary elements in the working-class movement Ernst Thaelmann became an uncompromising fighter for revolutionary Marxism.

When the slaughter of the nations began, and opportunism went over with banners flying to the camp of chauvinism and imperialism, the revolutionary worker, Ernst Thaelmann, did not waver one minute. From the very first days he fought resolutely against the war policy of Social-Democracy. In the first few weeks of the war he was ordered to the front. As an internationalist he set out to enlighten the troops, circulating illegal leaflets and newspapers and making a stand against the brutal treatment of the soldiers by Prussian militarism. For this he was deliberately victimised by the officers and given the most dangerous duties in the front line. Even from the trenches he kept in close touch with the illegally operating Hamburg opposition. Together with it he joined the Independent Social-Democratic Party. After the outbreak of the Revolution in November 1918, Ernst Thaelmann fought in the foremost ranks of the revolutionary workers against the counter-revolutionary troops which Ebert and Noske had sent to crush the workers of Hamburg and Bremen. The revolutionary workers of Hamburg, who recognised Thaelmann’s personal courage and daring, elected him to represent them in the City government of the port. It was due to him that out of the 42,000 members of the Independent Social-Democratic Party’s organisation in Hamburg, 40,000 declared their allegiance to the principles of the Communist International.

After the Party, following the defeat of the German proletariat in 1923, had devastatingly settled the opportunists, Ernst Thaelmann, as one of the most popular left-wing leaders, was summoned to the Central Committee of the Party, where he very soon rose to be leader of the Party. Under his leadership, the Party quickly and definitely rid itself of the ultra-left group of Ruth Fischer and Maslow, whose pseudo-radical, fatal policy had done immense harm to the mass-influence of the Party, threatening to isolate the Party from the masses.

With the help of the Communist International, he welded all the healthy and valuable forces of the Party in the leadership and in the organisation as a whole into an iron phalanx, which first flung the Trotskyist gang out of the ranks of the Party, only later to cleanse it with equal thoroughness of the Right opportunist and conciliators.

To all of us in the leadership, and to every single Party comrade, Thaelmann became a model revolutionary loyalty and devotion to the Communist International, the World Party of Lenin and Stalin. He taught us absolute devotion and passionate love for the Soviet Union and for our great leader Stalin. Thaelmann never wavered on this question. At the October Conference of the C.P.G. in 1932, he addressed the following words of warning to the Party:

‘There were sometimes in our own ranks comrades who thought themselves cleverer and more capable of judging various questions than was done in the definite decisions of our World Party. Here I stress with the greatest emphasis: our relations with the Comintern, this close, indestructible, firm confidence between the C.P.G. and the C.I. and its Executive – this is one of our Party, the inner-political struggles and disputes in the past and of the higher political maturity of our Party generally.’

The latest war-provocation by German Fascism recalls to our mind Thaelmann’s passionate struggle against war, against Fascism, for an international understanding among the nations, particularly between the working masses of Germany and France. Under Thaelmann’s leadership the Communist Party of Germany resolutely took over and resolutely continued the militant policy of the Spartakus-Bund against the Treaty of Versailles. In contrast to the criminal war-policy of the German-Fascists, however, the policy of the Communist Party is founded on international solidarity among the nations, on peaceful understanding between them, on the alliance of the working class of the whole world. This attitude was forcibly expressed by Thaelmann at that historic mass meeting of the French workers in Paris, at which he had to appear illegally because the French police tried to prevent him from attending. There Thaelmann said:

‘Even more boldly and more courageously we shall hold out our hands over frontier barriers to our militant comrades in France, joining with them in fraternal solidarity in a fighting alliance against the war-criminals and their accomplices. We shall not allow the German and French workers to be goaded again into mutual fratricide.’

The Bolshevist policy of the Communist Party under Thaelmann’s leadership led to a steady, constant increase in its mass-influence. At the elections to the German Reichstag in November 1932, six million working people voted for the Communist Party of Germany. The Party numbered more than 300,000 members, and it was fulfilling with ever-increasing success its great historic task of preparing the working masses of Germany for the struggle for and winning Socialism.

The development of the Party to a mass-party with a vigorous Bolshevist character was largely due to Ernst Thaelmann. He was more than usually sensitive to the temper of the masses, especially the Social-Democratic workers. For this reason he was accused by the group Nuemann of ‘running behind the S.P.G. Workers’. But Ernst Thaelmann’s work was anything but this. Quite the reverse: he tried to make the Social-Democratic workers realise the necessity of the united front in view of the rising wave of Fascism. He tried also, however, to create the conditions for this in the Party itself. At the meeting of the Central Committee on February 19, 1932, he said:

‘We say that the revolutionary united-front policy forms the main link in the proletarian policy in Germany. Comrades, a formulation like this is one of great moment; we have chosen it on mature reflection.’

And at the Berlin Anti-Fascist Unity Congress on July 10, 1932, Thaelmann said: ‘The question of the united front against Fascism … that is the question vital to the German proletariat.’ On the initiative of Ernst Thaelmann the ‘Anti-Fascist Action’ was inaugurated by the Communist Party in May, 1932, bringing the Communist and Social-Democratic workers closer together. And yet there were still present in the Party very powerful sectarian inhibitions among Communist workers against the united front with the Social-Democratic workers, chiefly caused by the struggle conducted against the Communist Party by the Social-Democratic leaders, especially the Social-Democratic Prussian Government, with the use of terrorist methods.

In these circumstances a number of grave errors were made by the Party, to correct which, on the strength of experience gained in the meantime, Ernst Thaelmann would naturally have acted with the utmost vigour if he had not been prevented from doing so by his arrest. The most serious error was that the Fascist menace was under-estimated and the main blow was not aimed at the Fascist menace as it became more and more clearly manifested.

On the bold initiative of Comrade Dimitrov, the Seventh World Congress decided to divert our tactics to the creation of the united front and the People’s Front, and set the Communist Party of Germany, in view of the altered situation in Germany, the special task of revising its relations with Social-Democracy, so that the rapid creation of the united front should become possible.

The working masses in town and country are beginning to revolt against their Fascist oppressors, although under the severe terror this result takes at first the simplest forms. The tasks facing the Communist Party of Germany in such a situation are great and fraught with responsibility. Now is the time, in spite of Fascist rule to terror and the suppression of all free expression of opinion in Germany, to counteract the mass chauvinist infection and to rally all available forces for the overthrow of this mad rule of the war-mongers, the oppressors and murderers of the working people of Germany. It is necessary to unite quickly and boldly all the opponents of the Fascists rule of terror against all reactionary attempts at sabotage and against all sectarian inhibitions; but above all to heal the split in the working class and to lead the Communist and Social-Democratic workers together into a united fighting front.

The C.P.G. lives on and is working despite the tremendous sacrifices it has to make under the Fascist terror. The heroic struggle, full of sacrifices, which tens of thousand of Communists and revolutionary workers are waging at the cost of the lives of thousands of their best, has shown that the Fascist terror and the reformist policy of capitulation were not able to demoralise the ranks of the proletariat. The fact that the Communist Party has been successful in this is due primarily to the heroic cadres raised by the Party under Thaelmann’s leadership.

For more than three years Thaelmann has been lying in a Fascist gaol. During all this time it has only been possible once – through the workers’ delegation from the Saar – for the proletariat to establish personal contact with Thaelmann. The Fascists allow the visit on that occasion in order to confuse the workers of the Saar, because they thought that the long period of terrorism in prison would have cowed Thaelmann and that he would not dare to speak openly to the workers. But Ernst Thaelmann bade farewell to the workers in these words: ‘I have been and I am being tortured! Greet the workers of the Saar from me as I would greet them!’ With that he showed that the brutalities of Fascist imprisonment could not break his revolutionary fortitude.

The indictment against Thaelmann published the other day is no more than a miserable declaration of bankruptcy of the part of the Fascist prosecution. That explains why the Fascists for three whole years have been continually postponing the trial and now want to abandon it all together. The latest report concerning Thaelmann’s fate should arouse the international proletariat the utmost vigilance. Thaelmann has been transferred from the custody of the remand authorities to that of the terrorist Gestapo gangs. This increases the mortal danger in which he is. But, on the other hand, in view of the publication of the indictment against Thaelmaan, the present moment is also favourable for the struggle for his release. If we succeeded in raising a tremendous storm of protest throughout the world, it will be possible to break down the prison walls and as in the case of Dimitrov, deliver Thaelmann from the clutches of the Fascist hangmen. The fact that Ernst Thaelmann has got to spend his fiftieth birthday in the gaols of Hitler-Fascism is an urgent reminder to all the anti-Fascists of the whole world that they must intensify to the utmost their campaign for the release of Thaelmann and the many thousands of imprisoned victims of the White Terror.

We greet Ernst Thaelmann on his fiftieth birthday! Freedom for him and for all anti-Fascists! Long live international solidarity! Long live the joint struggle of the workers of the entire world under the leadership of our great Stalin for peace and liberty for World Communism!

Ernst Thälmann

April 16, 1886 – August 18, 1944

The Hamburg harbour worker Ernst Thälmann was a Social Democrat and organized in the transport workers’ association from 1904. Drafted as a reservist in January 1915, he experienced the horrors of war on the Western Front. In the fall of 1918, he did not return to the troops from leave in Hamburg, remaining in the city until the revolution. He joined the USPD and was elected onto Hamburg’s city parliament in 1919. Along with the majority of the Hamburg USPD, he was in favour of joining the Communist International in 1920 and was a delegate at the party conference in Halle in October of that year. From 1921 he was chairman of the Hamburg KPD district and a member of the party committee for the Wasserkante region. A popular figure in Hamburg, Thälmann was employed as a party secretary there from 1921 and was an uninterrupted member of the city parliament until 1933. He was on the KPD’s central committee from 1921 on and was elected into the party’s leadership at the IXth party conference in Frankfurt in 1924, remaining a member from then on. Representing the party in the Reichstag from 1924 to 1933, he was the KPD’s candidate for the Reich presidential elections in 1925 and 1932. Arrested on March 3, 1933, he remained determined in prison. Thälmann spent twelve years in solitary confinement, first in Moabit, then in Hannover and Bautzen. After being transferred to Buchenwald concentration camp, Ernst Thälmann was murdered on August 18, 1944.
