In recent days, a fresh wave of reactionary anti-communist agitation has swept through the Federal Republic of Germany. In the name of celebrating the 35th anniversary of capitalist German “unity,” representatives of the state apparatus are pushing to erase the names of Vladimir Lenin and other socialist heroes from public spaces.
At the center of this offensive stands Evelyn Zupke, the Federal Commissioner for the so-called "Victims of the SED (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands) Dictatorship".
Karl Marx and his teachings are still so dangerous for the ruling classes that courts in Europe try to declare them as "unconstitutional".

KPD: Thoughts on the federal election
On February 23, 2025, the
early federal election is approaching—a vote taking place in a time
of growing social dissatisfaction and political polarization. People
are increasingly and justifiably discontent with the current
political landscape. But what are the real alternatives? How can we
use our vote meaningfully, and what can we expect from the parties on
the ballot?
No vote for the parties of capital!
On 23 February, the Bundestag will be elected in Germany. Once again, the bourgeois media are talking about a ‘fateful election’. It is said to be about nothing less than saving ‘democracy’. The spectre of a strong AfD is being used to blackmail us into voting for the other parties of the capitalist system as a supposedly lesser evil.

Once again, the February elections are being presented as the ‘most important’ ones—a narrative designed to obscure the lack of real choice for the working class. Not only German institutions and organisations, but also many who claim to represent the Turkish community in Germany are calling on people to vote together against the AfD and for democracy.
