Netherlands: LLL 2025 – FORWARD IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST LEAGUE!

We hereby share an unofficial translation of an article by Dutch Communist Committee of the Netherlands:

On January 12, the comrades of Roter Bund and Partizan came together for the annual Lenin-Liebknecht-Luxemburg (LLL) demonstration where revolutionaries gather every year to commemorate Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht in a militant and powerful way with a march to the Memorial for the two fallen heroes.

This year the slogan was “Forward in the Construction of the Anti-Imperialist League (AIL)”. The day before Roter Bund and Partizan held a joint presentation in Berlin about the AIL and about the work done in the Americas, in Turkey and in many other parts of the world for the construction of the AIL with many taking part in the activities and also many from other parts of Europe taking part in the presentation including a number of comrades from the Netherlands.

At the demonstration Roter Bund and Partizan stood strong with the banner “Forward in the Construction of the Anti-Imperialist Front”, but this year things did not went completely smoothly. After their humiliation last year when the Palestine-block was defended by revolutionaries (read more in this article) police was prepared to intervene much faster and with greater violence. The demonstration was surrounded by police and attacked. Immediately revolutionaries were at the forefront defending the demonstration. The police were forced to use pepper spray into the crowd. After a heavy confrontation and several arrests, the police withdrew from the demonstration and the demonstration was allowed to continue.

What was crystal clear again is that the real revolutionary forces were again in the front, while the revisionists and opportunists were on the sidelines, not at the front as real vanguard organizations should be. Where were the so-called “Communist Parties” of the MLPD or D”KP” when the revolutionaries were attacked, they were nowhere to be found.

We send a warm message of solidarity to the comrades of Partizan and Roter Bund. We look with pride at their brave resistance in the most important moments.

IT IS RIGHT TO REBEL!
FORWARD IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST LEAGUE!
HANDS OFF THE REVOLUTIONARIES OF THE ROTER BUND AND PARTIZAN!
