Joachim Bruhn (publicist)
Joachim Bruhn (born January 30, 1955 ; † February 28, 2019 ) was a German political publicist and publisher .
Life
Bruhn was a member of the Freiburg Socialist Forum initiative and co-operator of the local ça-ira publishing house . Since 1990 he has published the first six volumes of Johannes Agnoli's work . After Agnoli's death in 2003, his widow Barbara Görres-Agnoli demanded a judicial inspection of the publisher's sales with Agnoli's works, as well as the withdrawal of the posthumously published volume of the work edition Transformation of Post-Nazism . The dispute that brought ça-ira-Verlag to the brink of bankruptcy ended in November 2006 with a settlement.
As a political theorist, Bruhn referred to the critical theory in particular Theodor W. Adornos and the Marx reconstruction of the Neue Marx-Lektüre , from which he derived a radical criticism of the state and, for the period after 1933, a radical rejection of the workers' movement . He was one of the most influential authors within the anti-German current.
“There can be no criticism of the State of Israel that is not anti-Semitic [...] It is not the task of anti-German communists to identify with Israel, because Israel is not a substitute for the 'fatherland of the working people', but to clarify why it is necessary to stand unconditionally behind Israel and also behind Ariel Sharon: namely in the interests of stateless and classless world society. "
