Anti-imperialist coordination

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anti-Imperialist Coordination (AIK) is an international association of various anti-imperialist groups that has existed since August 2000 . In Austria, the AIK is registered as a non-campaigning party.

The transnational alliance emerged from the Italian Campo Antiimperialista , which was established in German-speaking countries by the Anti-Imperialist Coordination Vienna and the Verein Initiativ e. V. - Association for Democracy and Culture from Below in Duisburg . The immediate organizational forerunners of these two groups include the Revolutionary Communist League (Austria) and the Mole (Germany). According to the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in North Rhine-Westphalia, the section in Vienna is a sub-organization of the Revolutionary Communist League (RKL) .

The AIK organizes an annual summer camp in Assisi (Italy). At these meetings "the basic political orientation, the alliance work, further meetings and internationally planned, coordinated (demonstrative) campaigns are to be discussed", "groups regularly take part whose options for action include terrorist means", writes the German constitution protection agency.

The AIK achieved media coverage in 2003 with the international campaign “10 euros for the Iraqi people in the resistance” (also: “10 euros for the Iraqi resistance”) decided in Assisi. In September 2007 the AIK organized a pro-Iranian rally in Vienna, in which, according to Heribert Schiedel , neo-Nazis also took part. The AIK's congratulations to Mahmud Ahmadinejad and the express welcome of his re-election in the course of the controversial presidential election in 2009 also caused a stir . The AIK also supported the GAZA Freedom Flotilla .

The AIK accuses the “Action against anti-Semitism in Austria” in an article on the homepage of the documentation archive of the Austrian resistance “left anti-Semitism ”. The AIK rejects the accusation.

Publications

The Anti-Imperialist Coordination publishes the Intifada magazine, a continuation of the content of the previous magazine Bruchlinien .
