Comrade:Jaiden

Jaiden
Nationality	East German
Political orientation	Marxism-Leninism

Hi, I'm Jaiden! I'm a trans woman (she/her) from East Germany. I'm studying education in university. I want to change people's lives for the better by teaching my students critical thought, open mindedness, science and empathy. I'm also interested in linguistics,, geography and music.

I speak German and English fluently and would be happy to do translation work. I have also taught both English and German and it would be a pleasure to answer any questions for comrades interested in learning German or improving their English.

I like to consider myself a marxist-leninist. Of course I'm always in the process of learning, and, especially when it comes to minorities of which I'm not a part, and the imperial periphery, the labels I identify with mean little. My actions and my willingness to learn and adapt my opinions, assumptions, and overcome my internalized convictions are the important things.

My radicalization process has went like one would expect in my material conditions, being a trans woman in a once socialist country that is now decaying into fascism with increasing speed. The DDR was fairly wealthy but after the annexation all that capital was funneled to the BRD, leaving East Germany in the perfect conditions for fascist rot to fester and spread. Now, western Germany has also reached a sufficient stage of decay. Sadly, I do not think the leftist parties are prepared (or willing) to face that.

Die Linke is reformist and revisionist at best. Both them and Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht have some respectable people in them but they are still bourgeois parties. MLPD are antirevisionist and have some ultra-leftist and adventurist leanings. The local offshot of der Funke in my city turned out to be part of the RKI. Lastly, DKP, which is probably the most competent communist party. They are principled marxist-leninists, but they're also very old-timey and struggle to adapt to how agitation work is done nowadays.

I don't consider then anywhere near communist, they're definitely a reactionary force, but, of course there's the infamous Antideutsch movement, which spews zionist propaganda and licks the book of western imperialism, even though the name "antideutsch" had so much polemic potential. Antideutsche coopted the aesthetics of the real Antifa and they call themselves antifascist, antiracist and so on, but of course, this just mimics Hitler's usage of the color red, or the word socialism in national socialism. The real Antifa has it's own problems aswell. It is much too focused on spontaneity instead of actually organizing. That's because they're largely anarchists. It goes without saying that most of these groups are not really relevant right now. The masses have no class consciousness and no party has reached the necessary development to educate and organize them on a large enough scale for a revolutionary moment to be able to present itself.
