Red leaves

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rote Blätter (spelling: Rote Blätter) was a monthly student magazine published by the Marxist student union Spartakus . It was published by Weltkreis-Verlag from 1971 until the financing by the SED was canceled at the end of 1989.

history

The editorial line was the program, politics and theory of the Marxist Student Union Spartakus . He was one of the proponents of the theory of state monopoly capitalism . But there was also a dispute with radical left-wing Maoist groups such as the Kommunistischer Bund Westdeutschland (KBW) and KPD / ML . Since the 1970s, the social situation of the student body, the advocacy of the political mandate of the student self-government bodies and a policy of trade union orientation ("GO policy") of the student movement have been in the foreground of the reporting.

At times the Rote Blätter cooperated with the youth magazine Elan of the Socialist German Workers' Youth (SDAJ).
