Englische Fassung: GLOBAL DAYS OF ACTION AGAINST MILITARISM AND ALL WARS

 
CALL TO
GLOBAL DAYS OF ACTION AGAINST MILITARISM AND ALL WARS
IN YOUR CITY from November 17 to 25, 2023.
 
 
War generates suffering, misery, death and destruction with devastating consequences in the lives of billions of people; war disproportionately affects the already oppressed, exploited and dispossessed; war fuels authoritarian and nationalist processes; war reinforces and reproduces the patriarchal system; war accelerates colonial and racist policies; war is driven, among other things, by the profits of the military-industrial-technological complex; war slows down, blocks and destroys emancipatory and revolutionary processes; war destroys people's social, solidarity and friendship relations with each other; war exacerbates the disaster of the climate crisis and the destruction of livelihoods of humans and many other living beings. While astronomical sums are pumped into the steel-armored apparatus of aggression, there is a lack of funds everywhere for the promotion of empathic human qualities such as health, welfare, care or education.
 
 
The painful state of what is: tirelessly rotating assembly lines of arms and munitions corporations blast the hardware of patriarchal aggression across Mother Earth around the clock so that a few can secure their supremacy within constructed, hierarchical systems at the expense of many.
 
 
The urgency to become active worldwide against war and militarism arises from the violent and catastrophic realities that often have their starting point in the quest for power and profits of the European and other countries and the arms industries.
In patriarchy, power is always concentrated where the game of oppression and exploitation is most ruthlessly dominated. It is no coincidence that the very states most guilty of nameless outrages of colonial exploitation and genocidal crimes are also the ones that historically have the longest tradition of increasingly sophisticated mass production of instruments of war and its fine-tuned strategic deployment. With resource-intensive threat scenarios, concrete annihilation strikes, Fortress Europe, or the artificially extended attritional carnage of conventional wars, this fossil-fueled domination keeps us locked in a repetitive loop of traumatization, death, and destruction.
 
 
In addition to the countless wars currently being waged around the world, there are numerous devastated regions and societies where wars have officially ended, but militarized violence continues. Many wars are presented as 'ethnic conflicts' and never officially declared such as the war against refugees and poorer migrants. Currently, two billion people live in conflict zones.
 
 
The power structures that exist around the world are based on the availability of oppressive military structures: the armies themselves, private armies, intelligence services, border guards, official police forces, private police-like institutions like securities, militias, and the political-administrative apparatuses which support all of the above. What they all have in common is a normalized and sometimes even bureaucratically endorsed ability to control, injure, and kill people. The widespread acceptance of militaristic violence is based on ideologies and mindsets that normalize disasters as a "necessary evil." Its purpose is to guarantee the continued exploitation of people and natural resources that constitutes capitalism, colonalism,patriarchy or neoliberalism.
 
 
We invite individuals, groups, collectives, networks and organizations that share an anti-militarist and internationalist perspective of resistance to all war and militarism to organize actions from November 17 to 25, 2023. Each person can support and spread this call and organize those initiatives that they consider appropriate to their local circumstances. Small actions are also welcome.
With this call, we want to increase visibility for the many struggles that are developing locally against war, militarization, and the war industries, and are related to other struggles against patriarchy and colonialism.
