For the Federal Parliamentary Elections 1998
Declaration of the FDJ (Freie Deutsche Jugend, Free German Youth) concerning the territory of the annexed GDR
Eight years ago, the parties of the FRG invaded our country. At a time when the GDR still existed as a souvereign state, the parties of the FRG, namely the conservative CDU/CSU, the liberal FDP and the social-democratic SPD conducted their election campaign in our country and held their party conferences. They promised us Freedom and Democracy, wealth and an economic upswing in the East. Nobody asked us wether we wanted to join the FRG. They told us that we had the choice and many of us chose and voted: freedom instead of employment, freedom instead of expropriation, bananas instead of butter - they believed the charming lies. But the day of truth came quickly. As quickly as they stole our property. Good education, kindergardens and youth clubs are not profitable for them and so many were closed down. There were citizens of the GDR who laughed about the aim of the SED to solve the housing problem until the year 2000. Today, there are certainly not less people who are lucky to be able to pay the rent for their apartment. Many citizens of the GDR are now being pursued for their political activities and the profession they had in the GDR. An even greater part is being deprived of their fundamental right for work that had been guaranteed in the GDR. And this is not the end of the list. But the invaders are not sure of their victory. So they left nothing untried to disparage the GDR and destroy it in the hearts and minds once and for all. They know how fast our discontent and our rage can turn upon them and therefore they try to educate the young people in their spirit, they split them up by racist propaganda and they give them a carreer in the Bundeswehr. To be on the safe side, they did not let the people of the GDR vote for or against their new constitution, the constitution of the FRG. Now the western parties are undermining the same constitution they glorified so much eight years ago. The very same parties, CDU/CSU, FDP, SPD try to concole us to wait for the year 2010. Then the economy, they say, shall flourish and the rate of unemployment shall be half the size. And the only possibilty for them to achieve this is by war. They do not use that kind of language for it, but they are just now preparing and arming themselves. Ever since the annexation of the GDR, the now bigger Germany is striving for power. All this is not new, nor pure invention, nor exaggerated. It is the kind of reality we are supposed to accept. The kind of reality leading, in the end, to a grave under ruins at Stalingrad. This is their kind of "Democracy". And it is the only way their democracy can work and function properly. Nevertheless, it is not the future we have in mind. But do we still have a choice? We are no longer souvereign citizens of our own country. Taking everything into consideration, our basic interests are no longer supplied for, these past eight years. We are beggars, workless, stateless persons. But yes, we do have the choice! Let us start the fight against the West! We do not want to join a country because of that our mothers and fathers had to die in concentration camps and on battlefields. Let the western parties of CDU/CSU, FDP, SPD and of course also the open fascists of NPD and REP piss off back to the west! The earlier the better! But they rather want to go on living on our costs, so we must give them some good strong kicks. Apart from that we have to live and work for our own interests. And the first step is that we must unite! This is the least thing we can do for ourselves. So, for the parliamentary elections our motto can only be:
We only vote for a party from our country - the PDS!
At the same time we demand the PDS to make clear politics:
Politics in the East! - Politics for the East!
