German communists against Gorbachev, Kohl and Bush

True to Thälmann's cause


The liquidation of the GDR, carried out by the leaders of the USSR, the FRG and the United States under the spectacular cover of the unification of Germany twenty years ago, did not lead to the self-destruction of the communist movement there. Today, few people will remember that the West German Communist Party at certain stages of its existence had, perhaps, greater authority and influence than the East German branch of the CPSU.

Soviet analysts generally diligently hid such facts. There is no GDR, there is no its Communist Party (SED), so there is nothing to talk about. The communists of West Germany, who considered themselves the real heirs of the case of Ernst Thälmann and Otto Grotewohl, have been silenced by the Soviet media since 1988.




Otto Grotewohl, not the most famous of the "architects" of the GDR

The pro-Soviet GKP, the German Communist Party operating in the FRG, received in September 1989 a direct order from the Kremlin to stigmatize the GDR and especially its leadership. Party members were so discouraged that they accepted the disintegration as a fact, in fact, self-dissolution by the spring of 1990.

At the same time, another German Communist Party, the Marxist-Leninist KKE / ML, which existed in the FRG since March 1968, managed to survive, despite the powerful pressure of pro-capitalist propaganda. It operates to this day and has even enlarged its ranks with thousands of "refugees" from the SED and the GKP.

This party was created with the assistance of Beijing and Tirana, but with Moscow's complete silence. It arose at the end of 1967 on the basis of an orthodox faction subjected to harsh ostracism, when it was she who was accused of "conniving at Soviet revisionism and the Kremlin's duplicity in relation to the GDR."

It's a paradox, but now this party is trying with all its might to preserve its heritage. At its first congress in March 1968 in Dortmund, timed to coincide with the 15th anniversary of Stalin's death, the KKE / ML announced the all-German geography of its activities. With the inclusion of the German Democratic Republic and West Berlin. And also about the fidelity of the line that Ernst Thälmann once drew for her.


Monument to Ernst Thälmann in Moscow

The KKE / ML even today condemns the puppet role of the pro-Kremlin Communist Party of the Federal Republic of Germany in helping to destroy the GDR. The agreement of the USSR and a number of other socialist countries with German revanchism is also sharply criticized, which, we recall, was reflected in the notorious treaties of those countries with the Federal Republic of Germany in the early 70s (see. 1975 Helsinki Act. Albanian "exception").

Broken axis Moscow - Berlin


At the end of 1988, and then in September 1989, the KKE / ML suggested that the SED leadership unite into one party in order to more effectively resist the “Gorbachev treachery” and defend the GDR. But in East Berlin, most likely, taking into account the prompts from Moscow, they did not dare to take these steps.

The ideological comrades-in-arms did not even agree to hold a conference of these two parties in the GDR, which was also proposed by the communists of West Germany, who did not hide their admiration for Stalin and Mao. Apparently, the notorious Erich Honecker and others like him did not even allow the thought that Moscow would betray the GDR. And in vain.

The Soviet leadership, naturally, long before that was irritated by the presence of such a party in the FRG. Already in 1972-1973. Moscow and East Berlin created a pro-Soviet faction in the KKE / ML, which split this party.

In the mid-70s, the Stasi succeeded in identifying and arresting over 150 illegal representatives of the KKE / ML in the GDR, who circulated proclamations denouncing “the consent of the Soviet revisionists and their puppets to German revanchism”.

The KKE / ML, not without reason, believed that this is quite consistent with "Moscow's encouragement of West German colonization of the GDR." The proclamations also spoke of the "need to create a single truly communist party throughout Germany - with the participation of true Marxist-Leninists of the FRG, the GDR and West Berlin."

In addition, the KKE / ML refused to "withdraw" from the GDR and supported Beijing's position in connection with military border conflicts on the Sino-Soviet border. And also, like the PRC, along with Albania and Romania, publicly condemned the entry of the Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968.

Orthodox communists called it "the political bankruptcy of Soviet revisionism, the discrediting of socialism and international equality." Particularly sharply criticized was the participation of the GDR army in that intervention:

Moscow is deliberately reanimating the enmity between peoples and communists by engaging the army of the revisionist GDR in this invasion. Thus, Moscow, deliberately reminding Czechoslovakia of its occupation by the Nazis in 1939, just as deliberately provokes enmity between the Czechoslovak people and the GDR.


Farewell to the GDR


As for the last years of the existence of the GDR, the cells of the same party were recreated there in the mid-80s, when, under the influence of well-known events in the USSR, repression by the Stasi noticeably weakened. By the middle of 1989, at least 700 members of the SED had joined the KKE / ML: they were communists with 20 and 30 years of experience, workers of a number of large factories, veterans of the GDR.

According to some reports, the renaissance of the already semi-legal Stalinist-Maoist communist movement in East Germany at that time became possible thanks to the support of the PRC, Albania, Romania and North Korea. At the same time, the ideological foundations of the KKE / ML, judging by its statements in the 70s - 80s, have not changed at all:

We expose the treason of the German revisionists Ulbricht and Honecker, whose puppet course will lead to the elimination of the GDR and the revival of pro-Nazi revanchism. In Rostock, Magdeburg, Frankfurt an der Oder, Karl-Marx-Stadt, Dresden, Leipzig, Gera, Halle, genuine communists are fighting against the anti-popular regime of Honecker, a lackey of Moscow ...
Socialism in the GDR is a deception, it is the disguised domination of capital, while in the FRG and West Berlin it is the undisguised domination of capital. Communist political prisoners in the GDR clearly show the real face of so-called real socialism. At the same time, starting from about 1986, without the resistance of Honecker and his fellow party members, Moscow's policy of assisting the absorption of the GDR by West Germany was strengthened.

According to the network resources of the KKE / ML, a section of this party in the GDR illegally published its own newspaper called Roter Blitz (Red Lightning), which until 1981 was called Roter Morgen - Ausgabe der Sektion DDR (Red Sunrise) , publication of a section in the GDR).


However, the section was largely destroyed by the Stasi back in the early 1980s. But a large cell in Magdeburg managed to hold out and reorganized into the East German sector of the party in 1989.

The current assessments by the German communists-Stalinists of the causes of the destruction of the GDR remain the same as in the 60s and 90s. At the same time, they accuse the now united Germany of "a creeping restoration of revanchism", of "neo-colonial politics in Eastern Europe", of "an effort to direct the European Union and NATO to reanimate German militarism."

And the former GDR is now characterized by them as "an internal colony of West German capital and a launching pad for creeping revanchism": this is exactly the case, judging by the official data on the socio-economic situation in the former Germany and the GDR (except for Berlin), as well as in more and more numerous branches in the eastern lands of at least ten revanchist organizations of the former FRG.

KKE / ML now has a representative office in 40 municipalities in Germany (against 32 in the mid-90s, including 16 in the former FRG). She also founded in the early 80s the "Communist Youth Union of Germany", which now numbers up to 230 thousand people. This party maintains ties with the DPRK and, according to fragmentary data, with the PRC and Cuba.

          "The Communists consider it a contemptible deed to conceal their views and intentions. They openly declare that their goals can be achieved only through the violent overthrow of the entire existing social order. Let the ruling classes shudder before the Communist Revolution.

      I also drew attention to the fact that there are a lot of exaggerations and information, to put it mildly unreliable. For example, how the situation with the left-wing parties was assessed based on the materials of the intelligence department of the Western Group of Forces in 1992



      Of the 70 parties at that time, there were really only two leftists who represented at least some political weight, because leftist parties like Spartak, Maoists, or Neo-Trotskyists did not play any serious role in the FRG's politics:

      The latest "news" on their official website .kpd-ml is dated 2008.

      I looked at their website, and there the last issue of the print edition is dated 2011. As far as I understand, this is published by the Magdeburg branch of the former KKE / ML, which is hardly known in the Western Lands, so most likely it is a "political corpse" that few people in Germany know about. Therefore, the author's words were surprised that
      KKE / ML now has a representative office in 40 municipalities in Germany (against 32 in the mid-90s, including 16 in the former FRG). She also founded the "Communist Youth Union of Germany" in the early 80s, now numbering up to 230 thousand people.

      because I have little faith in this figure, if only because even in the most active period of my activity in the entire FRG there were about 10 thousand members of this organization. I think that the author interprets the materials of Western propaganda publications too freely - real life suggests that left-wing movements are not popular in Germany.

    In addition, the KKE / ML refused to "withdraw" from the GDR and supported Beijing's position in connection with military border conflicts on the Sino-Soviet border. And also, like the PRC, along with Albania and Romania, publicly condemned the entry of the Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968.

    It is understandable about the condemnation of the introduction of troops into Czechoslovakia, then it was fashionable to show one's "independence", but being on the Chinese side in the 1969 border conflicts is nonsense coming from the Chinese. Why do Brezhnev's "revisionists" need border conflicts? And Mao really needed them, especially after the "cultural revolution" - the internal enemies ended, they appointed external ones for themselves.

However, now it is gradually becoming clear, that size harm that the maize worker did with his deceitful and treacherous actions against Stalin.
      You know, my grandmother was at the freed party work for many years, relatively recently she left. She said with some resentment that some of the Communist parties had "moved away" from the CPSU. As if there were disagreements. And what, because of what?, They say, they began to look to the west.

        Good evening, Dmtriy. I also now believe that they were afraid to analyze the true cause of the split. Instead of seriously studying the Stalinist legacy, dear Leonid Ilyich began to torment himself with nonsense in the economic field, which ultimately resulted in perestroika with a collapse with a marked hump. Brezhnev's generation knew what should not be done (everything that Gorby did), but they did not know what to do. And it was necessary to understand the Stalinist work "Economic problems of socialism."

          It was just a shock for me to find out how the socialist countries reacted to the beginning of Khrushchev's slander. Before the authors' article, I somehow did not think about it. And about the pro-Stalinist and pro-Maoist sentiments, the parties, perhaps, were not mentioned anywhere under socialism? Maybe in what party documents for internal use?

            Here's the thing. Even now, when they talk about an alternative path to Khrushchev's, the Chinese and Albanians are always mentioned. And if Albania is now a criminal-capitalist country with an emphasis on the drug business, then China at that time (mid-60s) differed little from Pol-Potov Cambodia (Kampuchea) of the late 70s, until the Vietnamese calmed them down. And we do not need either Mao Zedong China or Albania during the times of Enver Hoxha. Social science was supposed to be engaged in the development of society, and there was a crowd of teachers of Marxism-Leninism you know who came there for easy money. And absolutely headless, both at the lower, teaching level, and at the highest level of the Central Committee. Well, one cannot consider M.S. Suslov, his difference from the subsequent ideologues of the ruling party (ER), perhaps, was only personal asceticism.

If you want, I will send a description of China for a 10-year period, my friend wrote, how the appearance of one scientific center, where he traveled with some interruptions for 10 years, changed.

Here he is right, there will be no bourgeoisie, but not only them, but in general all. he expressed this in the 50s, when there were still relatively few charges.) Rather, Che Guevara is a romantic social revolutionary (I don’t want to write SR, the name is too compromised). In general, "to give the land in Grenada / to the peasants ..." But do they want it, these peasants - he did not study this, he is a man of action. And he died. By the way, the same Kropotkin, in his "Notes of a Revolutionary", wrote that his view of the movement of the oppressed masses was not formed like that of Marx and Engels, who studied contradictions in large industrial enterprises in Germany (however, then there was no united Germany, in 1848, and there were enterprises), and on the basis of the life of the Swiss guilds - artisans, in fact petty bourgeois. Therefore, he was not seduced by Marxist ideas.

And, it would seem, raise the price - and they will appear, but no, the deficit was imposed. It was very difficult to buy adventures and good fiction in the 70s (Strugatsky, Dneprov, Gansovsky, Varshavsky, Lem, etc.). In the 60s, especially at the beginning, there were no problems with books, they appeared later. They began to give books for the handed over waste paper, I did not do this, but there were enthusiasts. A joke on this topic: a black man walks across the Sahara and collects papers. They ask him - what is it all of a sudden? - Answers - Here I will gain 10 kg, in the USSR they will give out a white woman for them. (For waste paper, in particular, you could buy "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins)

He described a bunch of little things that allowed him, then already quite elderly and sick, to legalize and work in the rear of the Germans. The book is 1947, he himself died of old age in 1950. There is also a brochure published by the TsAGI publishing house after the sinking of the Maxim Gorky plane in 1935.

                  Well, yes, they did. I remembered this century. Nepal had a centuries-old, not even just an absolute monarchy, but THEOCRACY, where the king (maharaja) was considered an incarnation of God Vishnu. Quite recently, in a historical sense, a revolution took place there - the heir to the throne killed his father and shot the guests at the feast, then committed suicide. And the system was rotten. It shocked me at one time. And the maharaja was like the bloody nicholas. And they dragged astrologers there (to somehow explain THIS), but recently I read that there is a Maoist trail behind this ... Now there is a republic.

      A sociological survey conducted before the events in Ukraine showed that the number of supporters of the communist idea has not decreased in Russia. Therefore, Putin canceled the decommunization he had planned. Of course, special services and structures belonging to oligarchs emasculate communist organizations. What is the raider operation against Grudinin and his state farm! However, this allows foreign intelligence agencies to create a massive anti-government organization if they decide to help the supporters of the communists organize into a powerful organization.

      This is an unfortunate comparison, if only because the Communist Party of the Russian Federation exists and affects life in the country, and the United Russia party is really afraid of it together with the president, although Zyuganov is certainly not even a reduced copy of Lenin, but something amorphous, for which the people will not follow.
      So if we compare the KKE / ML, then we had a similar analogue - Ampilov with his adherents, although he, as a person, caused me respect for his intransigence. But he did not play any role in political processes - this is a fact.

    German communists were the first to face the "brown plague" in their own country in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The creation of the GDR, in my opinion, became for them a continuation of the 1945 Victory over fascism, its logical design. One can only imagine what the communist Germans felt in 1989 - early 1990s, loyal to the CPSU. What were you expecting? New provocations such as the burning of the Reichstag, repression, shootings? It is surprising that they were left in Germany, not deported, not thrown into prison, like E. Honecker, for example. Today we know how he ended up in prison and in the same cell in which he was kept by the Gestapo during the war ...
    Germany, alas, has lost the chance to become an independent country in the future.

      there were some reports that someone was killed in the first days after the unification. And the marked one said that this was their, the new authorities, an internal affair. He understood everything perfectly, and neither he nor EBN responded to E. Honnecker's appeals. I tried to find out everything, maybe ours somehow helped, saved someone? I met only denial of this.
      And the Stasi was very successful in industrial espionage for the USSR. In general, after the unification, the West Germans said that the East cannot be trusted, that they are all Stasi employees.

        Sergei Kara-Murza analyzes the animal hatred of the West Germans towards the East. He believes that this is revenge for the fact that the eastern ones built a welfare state without limits in the form of the Turks (they raised the FRG industry in the 50-60s) and, moreover, independently, the level of assistance from the USSR and the United States to these states is simply incomparable.

        East Germans say that the Western "Stasi" is not needed because of the voluntary snitching of every first, and voluntary supervision of each other (almost spying). Therefore, they "come off" on vacation for the whole! I testify!

        And incomes are leveled in a small way. It's simple now, because inflation. In Germany there are talks about the abolition of the "solidarity tax" for the needs of the former GDR members. I don't watch politics myself, I stopped visiting sites. I provide a link to the Russian-language Internet digest: https://germania.one There it is written briefly about the laws.

          Stasi archives from the Americans. Immediately taken out. Isn't this a leash for the modern government in Germany? And, not only in Germany. I don’t think that the mentality of the Germans from the East is different from the West. There is an experience of living in a socialist country. And the ongoing repression of former GDR government officials. Nobody canceled lustration in Germany.
          According to the article.
          Marxism is relevant now. It explains a lot that is happening now, although it appeared a century and a half ago.
          It is a pity, I will not see the trial of traitors not only of the Soviet people, Gorbachev and Yeltsin, scoundrels in fact (one lives in the Federal Republic of Germany, the other is a museum), but others, including the German one.

            "Leash" is a relic of the past. Examples with such functionaries as Joseph "Sepp" Blatter и Dominique Gaston André Strauss-Kahn prove that: "If there were a man, but there would be an article !?" Everyone knows about the past of "Mother Merkel". No children, the husband is a "fake fag", she is suspected of same-sex love. Few? There are some other threads. I myself cannot understand: what is she afraid of? Maybe he's just afraid of death, perhaps painful?

            Is different. I myself witnessed how the "Ossi" (East German Germans), the Poles, spoke negatively about the squealing of the FRG members! Sometimes, and in a raised voice "lectured"! In general, they have our Soviet mentality, but, with a change of place of residence, they change, leaving only the cores of socialist education (for the older generation).
