Radikale Linke

Build the radical left

The Platform Radical Left is an association of different groups. Despite the different approaches that our groups and individuals have to politics, we share a radical critique of existing social and political reality and the goal of a liberated society beyond state, nation, patriarchy and capitalism.

We see ourselves as radical leftists. That means: The world can not be improved in the long term by reforms within the capitalist system. Therefore, we do not support the parliamentary party system and the hope for a socially fairer and ecologically sustainable capitalism. We must fundamentally change society and believe that people can live together collectively and according to their needs, beyond capitalism, the constraints of wage labour, rigid gender roles and the division into nations. We want to organize society collectively, globally and according to our needs.

We organize in an anti-authoritarian way, that is, we work on the dismantling of hierarchies. We strive for a society in which none stands above others and everyone has the same opportunities to participate in decision-making. We demand this for all areas of life, where people have to submit to the will of the state, the police or the boss at the moment.

We are feminist, anti-fascist, anti-racist and fight against all antisemitism. In short, we oppose all ideologies that claim to classify and devalue people on the basis of certain characteristics such as their origin, appearance or gender.

We are convinced that we can only oppose the global rise of the authoritarian right if we support each other in our political work and bundle our forces, our different focuses and ways of working.

As an association, we are open to people who share an emancipatory critique of society as it currently works and who want to think together about how we can change it. Within this process, questions will arise that are often not easy to answer and we encounter all kinds of contradictions. That’s why we want to argue with passion and look for answers together in order to find utopias for a better world that is possible.

On October 22nd the constitutional court in Poland decided to ban the right to nearly all abortions. People have been protesting under the name of “Strajk Kobiet” ever since. They demand the repealing of the ban, which is heavily influenced by the Catholic Church and the ruling right-wing PiS. At the moment safe abortions are only possible abroad and therefore very expensive. The “Plattform Radikale Linke” has formed a project named “Solidarität mit dem Netzwerk Abortions without borders” in order to provide financial support by selling t-shirts, patches and beanies. All proceeds go to the network “Abortions without borders” that allows safe abortions.

Rząd nie ciąża, da się usunąć! The government is not a pregnancy, it can be terminated!

Po wyroku Trybunału Konstytucyjnego zaostrzającym prawo antyaborcyjne, który zapadł 22 października, gniew rozprzestrzenił się na ulicach Polski pod nazwą Strajk Kobiet. Protesty są skierowane przeciwko wpływom Kościoła katolickiego oraz kontroli prawicowego ekstremistycznego PiS nad Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym i domagają się zniesienia zakazu. O bezpieczną aborcję można się obecnie ubiegać tylko za granicą i jest kosztowna. Dlatego chcemy zapewnić wsparcie finansowe potrzebującym kobietom poprzez sprzedaż benefitowych koszulek, naszywek i bluz. Cały dochód trafia do organizacji “Aborcje bez granic”, która umożliwia kobietom bezpieczną aborcję i zapewnia wsparcie.
