From the 8th of July Rheinmetall’s workers are starting manufacturing parts necessary for the production of tank ammunition, artillery systems, and armored vehicles. It’s not by chance that a weapons manufacturer is now operating in our neighborhood. In the name of public safety, Wedding has been already militarized: we can’t walk a few meters without seeing a police van, young people are constantly stopped and searched by the cops, Leopoldplatz is now a Waffenverbot zone.
What we are seeing happening here is happening all over, Berlin, Germany and Europe, where a narrative of permanent danger is used to justify the idea that billions are needed to defend the country against internal and external enemies.
For those who join the struggle against wars, occupation and militarization, and against the chilling normalization of three years of live-streamed genocide against the Palestinians, repression is not a matter of if but when. As the show trials against the Ulm 5 and Daniela Klette show, while the technologies of repression become more sophisticated, its tactics are old: intimidation, surveillance, abuse and incarceration. The state paints people as “extremists” and therefore a danger to a society.
And yes, we are all their enemies because we refuse to accept that state violence and wars are the only answer. We refuse to accept the normalization of surveillance, repression, and the criminalization of anyone who dares to fight back. But who is guilty of killing thousands all over the world through war, dispossession, and man-made disasters? Who is responsible for enforcing a border regime that pushes thousands of people each year to their death?
We don’t want weapons produced here or anywhere else! We don’t want to be complicit in a system that oppresses us and that kills in countries made into permanent war zones. Let’s be clear: before and after the farce of peace conferences and ceasefires, war never really stops, and what they call peace is only compliance with the status quo.
It’s time to say no! To turn solidarity into action!
No conscription for our youth! No weapons for genocide! No police in our neighborhoods! Solidarity with the Ulm5 and Free Palestine, from the river to the sea!
Self-organize! Desert! Sabotage! See you on the streets in July!
