criticism is a weapon! Against nation, state and capitalism!
There are many reasons to be against capitalism: Starving children in Africa, the destruction of nature, or simply having to get up early every morning. to come from this rejection to the affective understanding of the function of capitalism, but is anything but simple. It is also the question of the relationship between capitalism and constructs such as people, nation and state have failed many a wise head. The problem is that without this knowledge, the well-intentioned criticism often turns into its opposite and instead of a better world for the preservation of capitalism or even worse, contributing to its negative barbaric repeal.
In the beginning the goods
On capitalism, all things have in addition to its specific usefulness and value are exchanged, are thus goods. The exchange is mediated via the money which is the general expression. This was not always so. In ancient times, the majority of production based on slave labor. The slaves had to produce what their masters sought and received for only the necessities of life. In the Middle Ages provided the farmers themselves and their families themselves and had to cede part of their work on the nobility and clergy.
The fact that we can share all things as goods, is not unconditional. We must refer to something in common, namely that human work is contained in them. This provision is not primarily a question of how high the value of an object (the final price of a product in the store is determined much more complex), but about how the work of an individual or a eingrenzbaren group in relation to the overall work of the Society can be set. This money is absolutely necessary, because we can Were compared only if we use a specific product as a benchmark. This is the function of money. to see through this relationship is anything but easy. If you ask anyone on the street, will answer this / r things had just value. The man appears, their social relationship to one another as a property of things. Commodity, value and money are thus supposedly natural and immutable. The fact that this is only a social relationship, which they reproduce themselves every day, do not recognize the man.
wage labor and justice
Although the modern sociology likes to talk of layers and the like, capitalism remains a class society. This can not change. There are are two groups of humans to be irrevocable. Those who have no means of production and sell their labor power must, and those who have the means of production. Capitalism requires a double-free working class. It must be free of personal power relations (eg, the function of a serf in the Middle Ages) and free of means of production, could contest with what the workers their lives. Thus, they are forced from their labor power to someone who has the means of production, for sale. For this they receive, leading to their reproduction, that is to maintain its work force, necessary. How much is this varies, depending on the location and time. While a / e happy worker in Southeast Asia, a modest apartment and eat enough, in western Europe, it also includes television, car and computer. In the concept of class, it is not a matter of comparing income groups or the like, but the structure of society. Let us now assume a / e worker has a 38 hour week. 25 hours, he / she requires in order to produce what brings the beginning of production costs and yields enough to ensure the reproduction of his / her family. In the remaining 13 hours, he produces / she now for the capitalist. This 'bonus' is the added value.
insecticides against "locusts" as a solution?
it enough so just to remove the capitalists and the workers to give the full fruits of their labor to create the misery of the world? First of all, must be held, that the capitalists wedded to the illusion described above that these conditions were virtually laws of nature. Furthermore, they have to in order to survive in the market, make their products more efficiently and cheaper. This is, firstly, by the portion that belongs to the workers, and reduce the other hand, by investing profits in new machinery, etc., to produce more effectively. Who is not so becomes bankrupt. The companies are thus in a vicious circle in which they push each other to maximize profits and from the break they can not. During the ancient slaveholder his wealth primarily consumed, can I, the modern factory owner does not pay, he reinvest / she must be as much to be able to withstand the competition.
Since the products must be sold, and the need for bread, computers, etc. is limited, creates capitalism through advertising etc. constantly changing needs in order to sell the goods. If this is not regular and it is necessary for the crisis. Our entry into new markets or the destruction of value, what both harmless may take the form of bankruptcies, etc., as also happened in violent form of war, however, capitalism creates its own power to overcome them. That natural and man in this system are left behind is evident.
layoffs, pollution, etc . So are not the ill will of some managers. These act in a context that seems inevitable to them. Hartz IV recipients and managers are, in principle interchangeable, even if the latter course material better off than the former. Is therefore not only when the workers have their factory just take over. For one it does not address the wrong Ratios of goods, value and exchange, on the other they will still be subject to the laws of capitalism. They would shift the opposition of only the individual worker and KapitalistIn and exploit themselves. It thus changes nothing at all to the circumstances, any 'fat cats' personal attack, even not to mention the fact that such a personalizing criticism of capitalism more than just an open flank to

is the state capital and
For many on the left quickly everything said about the state . He has always existed and has always been the instrument of the rulers to suppress the exploited. Quite as easy as it is not. Modern states with an administration, etc. were only in the absolutism, when the Kings were trying to avoid a lot of wealth from their territory extract. Under capitalism, states, ideally democracies, not simply to suppress the function of the workers. Through the legal system and monopoly of power, they guarantee that the exchange can work, that contracts are honored, remain the double-free workers, that is, no one is enslaved, etc. Also, give the state between capitalists and workers. It ensures that workers do not rebel, but also that their reproduction is guaranteed, nature is not destroyed too much, etc. Say it guarantees that capitalism can survive in the future and not directly destroyed itself. It is therefore ideal collective capitalist. Here are depending on government time workers, once the capital more influence on the shape of the policy. Most of course the capital is in a better position because it can exert a lot of light pressure and power.
The specifics of the German nation
nations do not exist for long. Medieval principalities united many different Languages and the various kingdoms were often relatively loose structure. The 'French nation' was the first example in the revolution. At that time the term referred to the Third Estate, the nobility and clergy were not included. Accordingly, an affiliation to the French nation was first and foremost a commitment to the revolution and its values. Similarly, the United States define the Revolutionary War and still get any / r, which is / are born on U.S. territory, citizenship.
Unlike in Germany, where there was not a successful bourgeois revolution. The nation state was established 'from above'. Accordingly, also lacks a positive reference point for the national understanding. Germany is defined by culture and especially on blood and descent. German / r is, who has German blood in their veins. This means that immigrants of the 3rd and 4 Generation still do not receive citizenship, on the other hand, are people whose ancestors centuries ago the territory of the later left Germany, as German. The change of citizenship under the red-green federal government changed this in principle. Such understanding
Nations has fatal consequences. If only citizen to tell who is of German blood, this means that in this thinking Jews or German Sinti and Roma are not, can still be. It also allows alleged German "ethnic groups" as an excuse to take to get into the domestic politics of other countries for the benefit of the 'German' minority to interfere and enforce in this way its own great power politics - a continuity of German foreign policy from the Empire to the present. Of course there are also French nationalists, which define the French language, etc. and some German, the blood is not crucial - but basically has not changed this difference nothing. Of course we want in favor of a classless world society, to abolish all nations. This general objection may not lead to real differences blur.
National socialism and national community
National Socialism was neither the dictatorship of a few, say how many citizens often have a dictatorship of the middle class and / or capital of the workers, as some leftists still represented. Rather, it places the cross-class uprising of all Germans are against what they regarded as capitalism and liberalism.
The creative, German workers were brought against rapacious greed for profit, interest and sphere of circulation into account. Would first give up working capital and its self-interest in favor of well-being of the people, would the class divisions within the community repealed. But as the class conflict is inherent to capitalism and the sphere of circulation can not be separated from production, the Opposition had to be projected to the outside. This shows an essential part of modern anti-Semitism. The negative features of capitalism are personified by "the Jews" and should be destroyed with them. It is the collective

The much-touted zero hour has not existed 1945th While the nation was shattered country by the Allies, but the denazification was in view of the Cold War, never carried out consistently. The states of consciousness of the population changed nothing, there was the German Ideology. Not to mention the fact that the so-called economic miracle was none, but based on the destruction by war and forced labor accumulated capital. And human resources, there was no material breach. Even high Nazi officials were already in the 50s back in office and made career in Germany. Not to mention, many of the little Nazis who began their work in factory and office again as teachers for the next generation of the German spirit brought up, or building up the armed forces, which, thanks to trimming draft, contributed much of the male population to authoritarian characters.

Not coincidentally, it was a government of ex-leftists of the '68 generation, who led the third German war of aggression against Serbia in a century and the beginning of the nineties began reorganization of Yugoslavia after Germany's interests and ethnic principles completed. The whole thing, not despite but because of Auschwitz perfidious manner. Not only is the argument that Serbs were the new Nazis and concentration camps were talking, was simply wrong, they are relativized by the way the German crimes. How exactly does the German society can be described today is certainly an open discussion. It is conceivable that a specifically German national community and civil society as competitive principles to social hegemony . Argue National community here means those Germans, light as howling mob hostels for asylum seekers or Indians chase through the streets, civil society, those whose ideology is shown as the fact that it is the Holocaust in a general tragedy of modernity to the "European experience" or that they , over all other political differences within the camp, an anti-Semitic terrorist regimes such as Saddam Hussein defend. At many points

The notion of creative German labor for its own sake is still valid, as in the Nazi propaganda against? Parasitic aliens? equally, as in the agitation against the DGB? healthy German firms destroying locusts speculators? or shows the state labor force by one-euro jobs. It can, therefore, and because the classical nationalist mob currently has no relevant political representation, ask if not the civil society is the modern secondary national community.
It should be noted in any case, that Germany is not a bourgeois democracy, like any other. Germany is thinking, still thinking Auschwitz!
Everything Shit?
The revolution is so far away. What are the consequences? Retire to private life, consumption and luxury, or even defend civil society against their barbaric waiver? Both will provide no alternative for us dar. Even if this is needed sure to maintain the condition of the possibility of communism upright to secure the financial basis of communist criticism.
We hold to the idea of a better world, the States and classless world society! There is, however, necessary to break with any form of state and nation in general and Germany in particular radical. Also, capitalism can be abolished only if its basic categories, Value goods, exchange and wage labor, are repealed. Communist criticism is necessary is negative, we do not have a master plan for revolution? New world order?, Nor do we want to shape the world according to a fixed utopia. What can be determined from the criticism of the status quo, however, is that there will be in the free association of free people a deliberately planned production to the needs of the people, and targeted distribution of wealth.
A radical left, which is serious about the abolition of the false whole, may not therefore be caught in a blind flurry and participate, but must fight reactionary ideology, no matter who they represented, and the critique of the existing as many people communicate.
For Communism!
