Since the development from capitalism to imperialism the imperialists and collaborators have found and tried numerous ways to split the working class and deprive it from its real power. Some of these methods were adjusted from the past and the societies and updated them appropriate to the current conditions. However, some of them were  newly discovered and developed. Our class was divided into different sexes, nations, ethnics, cultures and religions; the deparateness, patriarchy, nationalism and chauvinism of the people in this system who are being oppressed and exploited are used for their own aims.

At least since September 11, the new enemy stereotype especially formed for the Western imperialists has been clearly defined. This is Islam and everything related to it. This enemy stereotype has been used as a means to start numerous wars in the Middle East without experiencing real resistance by its own people or international institutions such as the UN they are dominating.


It helped them to stir up fear against an enemy that doesn't exist or has been created by them in form of Islamic terror groups ( Al-Quaeda, Taliban, IS) and with the help of reactionary rejimes. This fear helped not only to lead wars abroad but also to cut their people's own rights immensely as well as to abolish most of the migrants' rights. Examples for that are the Anti-terror laws and the abolition of the right to apply for asylum in many countries. The  attacks in France (Charlie Hebdo) short time ago are used by the ruling classes for that aim.

 The Anti-islam movements now formed in many European countries (like PEGIDA in Germany - “Batı'nın İslamlaşmasına Karşı Yurtsever Avrupalılar”) and developing national and racist parties are the prey of the rage the imperialists harvested. Again migrants' homes and mosques are set on fire, migrants are chased and beaten.

When we look at these movements in Germany we can see many new fascist structures such as the fascist NPD, new right-wing party such as the “Alternative for Germany” and violent fascist groups and hooligans. Since mid October the weekly demonstrations in many German cities that started in Dresden and that are mainly organised and radicalised by these right-wing and fascist structures. Especially in Eastern Germany thousands of people of the middle class follow these fascist slogans on the streets. The organisators of Pegida argue in the sense of Huntington's theoretical construct of the „Clash of  Cultures“.  Islam is meant to be a hostile culture against the „West“ threatening the Western culture and fighting against it. The fascist organisators of this movement consciously make use of lies and false information. For that they use the agitation of the bourgeois media and politicians lasting for years and have a platform to spread racism. Although Pegida seems to be against racism at first sight, it becomes quickly clear that this movement's racism and hatred of foreigners aims at all migrants and refugees. Many bourgeois politicians and media demanded a dialogue and acceptance of these racist positions.

Pegida is the first big formation that organises the clash of cultures in Germany. Consisting of some different forces of bourgeois parties, some parts of the bourgeois media and the German secret service; going back to racist, neonazi and other reactionary forces and is a racist movement ideologically living from the clash of cultures.

Spreading racism through not-open fascist appearing structures and movements is a change of strategy of the ruling class in Germany and other European countries. From the success of mobilising Pegida had and the growing election success of right-wing populist parties it becomes clear that this strategy  is a fertile ground.

It is the task of all anti-fascist, progressive, revolutionary and communist forces to stand up against such racist and fascist movements and organisations, to fight against any agitation that the imperialists use to split the working class and peoples of the world and to use it for their aims. A broad anti-fascist and anti-chauvinist struggle must be led to fight back this chauvinist and racist agitation and to block the ruling class' plans to split us. Despite these splitting methods the working class shouldn't leave its path, the working class must stand up together against its exploiters and walk towards the revolution. This is  what we need to reach with our struggle against the ruling class' agitation.
