Statement of the IFA: War is the lifeblood of the state ---- 2014 One hundred years after 
the beginning of the 1st World War organized the International of Anarchist Federations a

German-speaking Anarchists and the Anarchist Federation Rhine / Ruhr have taken up the 
issue and run with other groups and events through local actions on the issue. Reason for 
this are plenty. Be it the growing militarization in society or the ongoing war belonging 
for many people around the world to the everyday suffering. ---- lot going there in August 
with numerous events of the Anarchist Federation Rhine / Ruhr . After the summer holidays 
planning groups from the Anarchist Network West * additional events on the topic.

On our special page war-the-krieg.fda-ifa.org you will find all the info & dates to the 
campaign.

Call: Today, as 100 years ago:
war war! For the social revolution!

On 28 July, the beginning of World War II marked the centenary, on August 1, the entry of 
Germany into the latter. Since the beginning of the year, showing an increased media and 
community interest in the First World War. Unfortunately, however, the coverage is often 
limited to the course of the war and a superficial processing of the causes. To date, 
socially perceived as uncomfortable causes of war are not or only insufficiently 
discussed. There are also people in every war, systems and ideologies that benefit by him 
and welcome, therefore, the call to arms and support. Be it nationalist and chauvinist 
great power fantasies in population or government, for-profit arms industry or the state 
aimed at the achievement of certain geopolitical goals or an organizing function within. 
In 2014, many of these relationships are not long gone, although the company would often 
think that this past is infinitely far away. Today, these aims are less openly 
communicated to the outside and displayed more cautious and diplomatic, if not sold as 
development aid.

Of course, the flagships of our 'representative democracy' the process of creeping 
militarization progress since 1914 and 1939 can not be denied, still driving in these 
days, as we face an increasing expansion of the competences of the German Armed Forces and 
the massive German arms exports, in context of a changed warfare and conscious of "German 
responsibility" before it. You do with her part, the ideal of a world without war and the 
military in another distant one to let distance.

Military is fundamentally contrary to its hierarchical structures and in its function of 
liberated society. In order to introduce our radical anti-militarist content in the broad 
public discourse we have organized ourselves with various anarchist groups in an alliance 
that from the first weekend in August in various locations in Germany Actions will perform 
and comrades * inside solicits on our actions or with their own to participate!

We want to show this anniversary to take this occasion it clear that the basis for major 
wars is also firmly established yet in our system and that the wars that take place in a 
globalized society today, are in a larger context to our own lives than we ourselves as 
people who want to admit in Central Europe in 2014 often live. Tags for this are the Nobel 
Peace Prize for the EU, NATO and Germany's role in the global warfare and enabling in the 
form of arms export, logistics, training.

We, as anarchists, will continue to fight against all forms of militarism, nationalism and 
capitalism. We want to sensitize and reconnaissance of the subject matter, to break the 
passivity to a certain extent and as always stay uncomfortable. We want to show that our 
idea of a society free of domination and our radical critique of the most important steps 
to prevent wars includes: The reduction of social inequalities, which must be accompanied 
by the removal of Mr. Sheep structures in our opinion. Only when we all can negotiate with 
each other our ideas of social coexistence at eye level, we will no longer feel pressured 
to perceived or real disadvantage to have to compensate by force of arms.

The degradation of war reasons we succeed with the dismantling of power structures and 
dependency ratios, break of systems such as fainting, fear of losing power and the feeling 
often represented in the parliamentary system is not to be clever enough to the politics 
that affects us to purchase.

From the 1st-3rd August will start our campaign with a diverse weekend in Dortmund. With 
many more readings, lectures, a rally, actions, a workshop. we want to send a clear 
message against war and for the Social Revolution!
