Marx21 (proper spelling marx21) is a Trotskyist organization within the party Die Linke , which is close to the tradition of the International Socialist Tendency . With around 300 members, it is not an association within the party that is recognized by the party executive of the Left.

Emergence

On September 1, 2007, a Linksruck delegates' conference in Frankfurt am Main decided to formally dissolve the organization. This was the result of a discussion process that began in the months before the merger of the PDS and WASG to form Die Linke. The following day, those present, including delegates from the conference, decided to found Marx21.

Characteristic

Marx21 describes itself as a "network around the magazine marx21 ". The magazine appears four times a year. There are continuities in terms of personnel and content with the forerunner organization Linksruck. The network insists on anti-imperialist positions, opposes the participation of the Left Party in governments, calls for “socialism from below” and sees itself in a revolutionary tradition. Members of Marx21 are involved in the movement critical of peace and globalization . During the Arab Spring , Marx21 brought down the governments of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria and the like. a. supported. Military interventions by NATO countries are massively criticized.

Once a year, members of the association organize the Marx Is Must Congress in Berlin.

Assessment by the protection of the constitution

The protection of the constitution sees the goal of the organization in the "establishment of a communist social order".

The Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution classifies Marx21 as an openly extremist association. In 2011, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified Marx21 as a left-wing extremist association and “most active Trotskyist organization”. It also accuses Marx21 of entryism .

According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Marx21 was part of the International Socialist Tendency in 2011 . However, this statement does not emerge from Marx's own account21. According to the International Socialist Tendency, Marx21 is in their tradition, but has not been a member since the dissolution of Linksruck .
