The Rosa Luxembourg Foundation is financed by German imperialism, supporter of the Zionist massacre of Palestine

The Rosa Luxembourg Foundation, which organized the meeting "Radicalize Democracy", is affiliated to the party Die Linke (The Left) of Germany, which has parliamentary representation in the Bundestag, governs or is part of the government of several German states and also has deputies in the European parliament. This party was formed on a wing that broke with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD, the party of Noske that assassinated Rosa Luxembourg), and the remains of the former East German CP (SED, the party of Honecker), after the reunification. In other words, these are the mortal enemies of Bolshevism and its continuity, Trotskyism and the Fourth International.

Die Linke is a social-imperialist party that applies the anti-working-class policies of the German government, such as the deportations of immigrants in Thuringia, the state it governs. This is denounced by the PTS itself in its articles, as well as the fact that "most of Die Linke aligns itself with Germany's imperialist foreign policy, especially its unlimited support for the extreme right government of Israel" ("The rise of a conservative, anti-immigrant "left" in Germany," October 2023). PO, for its part, also denounces that "their positions, far from reflecting the left, are pro-imperialist. Indeed, they support NATO in the war against Russia and Israel against the Palestinians, they defend the right to the existence of the Zionist state" ("Die Linke and its fracture, the party of the German left and its crisis", May 2024). We will not dwell here on the pro-Putinist position of the PO upholding Russia's criminal invasion of Ukraine, which we have already dealt with on other occasions. We want to show here that it is the PO and the PTS who denounce Die Linke itself for being pro-imperialist and Zionist, and yet the PTS and the PO sit at the same table to talk about "feminism" and "against the right" with them!

And the Zionist character of Die Linke is manifest. When the Zionist new attacks in Gaza began, the parliamentary bloc of Die Linke supported a motion asking the German Scholz government to "grant full solidarity and full support to Israel". In that 12/10/23 petition they also called for "ensuring that the events of the evening of October 7, 2023 in the streets of Neukölln in Berlin and elsewhere are clarified and prosecuted. All constitutional means must be exhausted, this may also include [repealing] the measures of the residency law," i.e. deporting and prosecuting anyone in Germany who speaks out against the Holocaust by the state of Israel and in support of the martyred Palestinian people.
Die Linke voted for this motion together with an openly fascist party (the AfD) and other imperialist bourgeois parties.
As if this were not enough, the chairman of the parliamentary bloc of Die Linke, Dietmar Bartsch, intervened in the German Congress unconditionally defending the fascist Zionist state of Israel "against the terrorism of Hamas" after October 7. This same personage has shown himself partnering with Zionist settlers in occupiers' camps bordering the Gaza Strip in previous years.
And the Die Linke and the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation organized this feminist meeting speaking of the need to "radicalize democracy" to "confront the right", when they are fierce defenders of genocidal Biden and Netanyahu and support the starkest fascism which is that of the State of Israel that occupies and massacres the Palestinian nation!

Therefore it is not surprising that the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation is financed by German imperialism... which is the second country after the United States in arming the Zionist State! So supportive of Zionism is the German state that its various governments have established for years that the existence of the Zionist State of Israel and its defense are a ”reason of state”, that is, it is above any other issue, right or treaty, for Germany. So Zionist is the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation that it even has a branch in Tel Aviv!

The Federal Ministry of Development (BMZ) through which the Rosa Luxembourg Foundation receives its funds is in charge of different "German missions abroad" such as the reconstruction of the electric grid in Ukraine or the "generation of work" in Palestine. The cynicism of the imperialist pirates knows no bounds, this Ministry dresses up as “democratic” the German plunder and super-exploitation of the semicolonial world.

Unfortunately, none of this was an impediment for the leaders of the FIT-U to sit down beside them to discuss a common program with the excuse of "confronting the right wing"... How can one speak of "democracy" with people who unconditionally support the fascists who are carrying out an ethnic cleansing in Gaza? How can one speak of "feminism" with those who support the perpetrators of the rape and feminicide of thousands of Palestinian women? Women whose children die of starvation in their arms because of the criminal blockade to which the fascist state of Israel subjects the people of Gaza... These fascists who bomb neonatology hospitals!

You cannot maintain fraternal relations with this group and call yourself a "Trotskyist" or a "feminist" or claim to be in favor of the Palestinian people and their struggle and of the oppressed peoples of the world. These are irreconcilable.
