Solidatity with ABC-Dresden

Our comrades from Dresden published a text explaining their situation regarding the surveillance and classification of their group as an extremist leftist organization in the region of Saxony, Germany. The interest of the secret police came because of ABC-Dresden’s solidarity work with anarchists and anti-authoritarians in Ukraine.
"In 2023, we accidentally found a classification of our collective as left-wing extremist in one of the reports of the Saxonian secret police (Verfassungsschutz). Later, a questionnaire from one of the local parliamentarians shed some light on why the group is seen as such. In this text we will take a closer look at the ‘argumentation’ of the political police and what they can do now after this classification.“
The comrades from this group have been helping us since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. A lot of what we have been able to achieve is due to their support, in economic and in political terms.
The rise of the far-right in Europe is concerning to us, as well as the repression of comrades outside Ukraine. Of course, we expected this from Russia or Belarus. But anti-authoritarian groups in Europe also face persecution from the state for acting in solidarity with Ukrainians.
“We didn’t have any illusions about the role of the liberal state in paving the way for extreme-right dictatorships (history can give many examples of such things), but with the modern surveillance technologies implemented by the so-called democrats we are looking into a very dark future…”
“The Minister President of Saxony Michael Kretschmer’s attempts to sabotage the struggle against Russia in Germany were well-received by such ‘partners’ as the Russian embassy, Sarah Wagenknecht and, among others, AFD”.
We call for solidarity in practice with our comrades, as well as with all that face any form of repression.
The AFD must be fought against.
No one is alone in the face of state repression!
