Wir haben die Schnauze voll von einer Bundesregierung, die das Leben von Millionen Menschen, viele in prekären Lebenslagen, weiter verschlechtert, während Reiche und Konzerne geschont werden. Wir erleben eine systematische Umverteilung von unten nach oben. Dieser Angriff auf den Sozialstaat wird begleitet von Hetze gegen Migrant*innen, Arme und vermeintlich "Faule”. Den Preis dieser Politik zahlen die, die jeden Tag arbeiten, den gesellschaftlichen Wohlstand schaffen, Rentner*innen und alle, die auf Gelder im Sozialen angewiesen sind. Diese Kürzungspolitik ist kein Sachzwang, sondern eine bewusste politische Entscheidung zugunsten von Konzernen und Vermögenden und gegen die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung. Während Milliarden für Aufrüstung von der Schuldenbremse ausgenommen werden, wird bei Gesundheit, Pflege, Familien und sozialer Sicherheit gekürzt. Für Waffen ist Geld da, für unser Leben angeblich nicht. Es droht eine massive Verschlechterung unserer Lebensbedingungen. Die Angriffe reichen von Sozialabbau bis zum Rückbau von Arbeitnehmer*innenrechten: Kürzungen beim Elterngeld und Unterhaltsvorschuss, bei Integrationskursen, im Gesundheitsbereich und der Rente, sowie bei zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen, Bildungs- und Betreuungseinrichtungen. Gleichzeitig wird der Acht-Stunden-Tag und die Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall infrage gestellt. Die Liste der diskutierten Maßnahmen ist endlos. Ihnen gemeinsam ist eine Arroganz gegenüber allen Menschen, die mit hohen Lebenskosten, steigenden Mieten und Reallohnverlusten täglich zu kämpfen haben, die nicht wissen, wie sie die Rente in Würde verbringen können und deren Gesundheit durch steigende Kosten beeinträchtigt wird. Wir nehmen den Besuch von Karin Prien (CDU), Bundesministerin für Bildung, Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend zum Anlass, um gemeinsam auf die Straße zu gehen und zu sagen: Nicht mit uns, wer Ärger bestellt bekommt Ärger! Wir stellen uns gemeinsam gegen Kürzungen und Sozialabbau.

Info sheet for the release. The cover (woodcutting of a medieval peasant chopping a king to pieces with an axe in black on red) is reproduced, plus this text: The situation for people in Iran and Afghanistan is dire. Since the protests in Iran of 2022 have been suppressed by the government of the ’Islamic Republic’ and since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021, western media have by large turned a blind eye to the situation in both countries. Anybody perceived as a threat by the respective regimes – women, LGBTQ+ people, non-religious or non-Islamic persons, anyone in any form of oppositions – is in great danger of losing their freedom or life. This doesn't mean that the fights for a free society and against political Islam in both countries have ended. The Federation of Anarchism Era is a group that is active in both countries. They organize(d) local struggles both in Iran and Afghanistan, translate and distribute anarchist literature and publish news on its website and various social media channels. Since 2021 they managed to help the escape of several people from the reach of the Taliban. On the local level, members of the federation participated in the uprisings in Iran after the murder of Mahsa Amini in police custody in Iran. The groups organised in the Federation of Anarchism Era operate decentralised but united in the goal of fighting the fascist theocracies governing their respective countries. Internationalism, feminism, atheism and a pro-LGBTQ+ stance are indispensable parts of their struggle. Since the groups organised in the Federation of Anarchism are at this point able to sustain themselves, they have closed all donations. Any non-monetary support is welcome. Get in touch, inform yourself, become part of the struggle. This release is dedicated to the people keeping up the fight against oppression, its purpose is to inform about their struggle. The logo of the Federation of Anarchism Era has been reproduced with their kind permission.
