Weekend pickings

The planned Nazi rally

of 19 February in Dresden has been successfully prevented . Around 20,000 anti-fascists blocked the project from this year only, about 1,000 Nazis. The "myth of Dresden as trouble-free run-Nazi mass is broken so final. The Nazis dawning on most of the "Downfall", or how else is the music video of Zarah Leander, "which is not the world as" to the Nazi Interportal Age Media understand that in the movie soundtrack geographical area from the "decline"? An analysis of the fascists on their failure is, but on their "world web pages" on a "The Jew is to blame!" usually not excessive.

is underground and over again in such events, the behavior of state power. That this, in the form of the police, their own "projects", as transport of nuclear waste, war conferences or crazy building projects defended with all brute force - bad enough.

But here it's about people who rely directly on Adolf Hitler. " The Holocaust and destruction of war occurred with the approval of the German population, which usually take today's generations with Cham and scaring foreign note. In the 90s there were "foreigners out!" Whole neighborhoods that called pogroms and cheered. The rejection of the neo-Nazis by the majority of Population today, and a large number of people who are actively providing the Nazis in the way would actually be recognized as a civilizing power. combat

That the public authority itself peaceful sit-ins with pepper spray, water cannons, dogs, batons and fists, shall be considered as a historical perversion. The illegal raid on the offices of "Dresden Nazi-free" and Dresdner Left Party, including arrests and property damage, it was just the icing on the cake. This must be from the political, judicial and police are re-thought, for the mobilization of violent hundreds, only a handful Massenmörderabfeierer to leave it undisturbed, is not communicable.

The following Sunday, Hamburg has chosen a new citizenship. The Left Party has been able to defend it with 6.4% the result of the last time in full . That voters have the Left Party as an advocate of social movements in the city and the only party that raises the question of fair taxation, more familiar as the attempted defamation campaigns, for example, against the "scandal rapper" Holger Burner . The Left will continue to Dora Heyenn, Joachim Bischoff, Christiane Schneider, Norbert Hackbusch, Kersten Artus, Mehmet Yildirim, Cansu Özdemir and Heike Sudmann be represented in the citizenry.

Expensive, racist and bad - the AStA Image Film


Der AStA dreht einen „Image-Film“. Dieses Gerücht stand seit Dezember im Raum. Zu Anfang war es vor allem die Frage „Und wie teuer wird das?“, die das hochschulpolitische Spektrum an der Uni Hamburg employed. An estimated total of 10,000 € would not confirm the AStA at the December meeting of the Student Parliament nor deny. Gradually, more details were known, for example, that no one was seen by the Student Union in this film and all the roles of actors had been bought over. This fact caused some head-shaking, but asked ansich nothing new there. The principle amount of money awarded to personally friendly company image on ineffective campaigns, the neoliberal AStA had always represented. The result was as the campaign "Mellemen" that seriously was justified, to awaken the interest of students in higher education policy. The AStA is for five years from Young Socialists, Liberals and their affiliated faculty lists for the AStA take a similar role to that time, the "block parties" for the SED.

In January, then the first pictures from the movie and a corresponding invitation text to view publicly. Equal to the input text "The dawn of the Hamburg university quarter - its people, of course, sleep. Only in the magnificent domed hall of the historic main building is stirring was: colorfully dressed African gospelnd cleaners go about their work - and fight back this routine against the attempt of some students, their Flyer interpreted on the just wiped seating. "breeds resentment. What kind of human being represented there anyway? And are represented here not racist stereotype images? And just in the former colonial institution? There were even before the release of the film quite a stir (1 , 2, 3 , 4, 5 , 6), especially now that the AStA also on the January meeting no closer to the wanted to express movie. On Thursday the 3rd February, then held the world premiere in the cinema Abaton, and it should still get a lot worse.

racist stereotype images found in this film does not take place only in the abstract, they run like a thread through the plot. In fact, the seven and a half minute long consists of virtually nothing but stepping on the lower status groups of the university. The black cleaners, maul the AStA people, the homeless on campus, dig around in the garbage, the political activists (a student in the Che Guevara t-shirt is caught, as "Americans Out Of Brokdorf" in the flyer AStA tract copies), even its own employees in AStA-Info Café, where incompetence is assumed they are all ripped mercilessly. Higher status groups are not discussed, except the university presidency, which is mentioned in a moment of high exalted. The AStA, or the actors to portray him, is meanwhile embroiled in counseling a confused couple. That the issues that move the student body actually, such as power and competitive pricing pressures and financial worries in the film play no role, is almost unnecessary to mention here. The AStA, a superfluous device on the lower level of the career ladder? According to film it seems so, and this should actually correspond to the role that the current AStA ascribes to himself.

Yesterday's premiere Abaton thus became a mockery of the students that these recordings will also mostly booed. The group "Black Students Network und andere Hochschulgruppen ließen sich vor und nach dem Film den Mund nicht verbieten und sagten klar ihre Meinung zu dem Film. Der zuständige AStA-Refeferent erklärte immer wieder, dass es sich um Inside-Jokes handele, die im Film verbraten würden. Auch im AStA-Trakt war nach der Vorführung einiges an Unmut zu hören. „Die Leute im Info-Café machen wirklich einen guten Job und sie werden in diesem Film völlig mies dargestellt“, äußerte sich eine Vertreterin des teilautonomen Behinderten-Referats.

Der Verantwortliche für das Werk, der „Sonderbeauftragte für Kultur“ Timo Hempel war erstmals im vorletzten Jahr aufgefallen, als er sich vehement gegen die Kritisierung der Präsentation von „Die Feuerzangenbowle“ im Uni-Kino wehrte. Dabei war er sich nicht zu schade, die Feuerzangebowle zu einem subversiven Film gegen das Nazi-Regime umzudeuten. Der von Uni-Kino und Kritikern getroffene Kompromiss in Form einer kritischen Einführung in den 1944 gedrehten Film, lehnte er ebenfalls ab. „Ihr habt den Leuten 15 Minuten ihren Spaß genommen“, so sein Statement. Der Film „Die Feuerzangenbowle“ ist natürlich keine offene Propaganda, sonst würde man ihn wohl kaum im TV und im Uni-Kino zeigen. Dennoch enthält er subtile Botschaften im Sinne des Faschismus, die wenigstens einer kritischen Kommentierung bedürfen. Doch dies wollte Hempel nicht einsehen. Nun hat er selbst einen Film rotate with subtle messages can, in which he inferior to his party colleague Thilo Sarrazin nothing.
