~ The German government is deliberately using its shows of outrage to exploit widespread hostility against the US’ criminal foreign policy to advance its own imperialist interests and expand the German secret service and armed forces. Such a policy change means that German imperialism is once again returning to a tradition that put the crimes of all the other imperialist powers in the shade. The German government not only has the support of the governing parties, the conservative CDU / CSU and social democrat SPD, but also the opposition parties, the Greens and the Left Party. Whoever wants to fight against surveillance and war, must reject this fraud. The spying upon of millions of people by the NSA, CIA and other US services will not be stopped by the upgrading of German intelligence services, but only by the dissolution of all of the secret services, including those in Germany itself. Along with the struggle against war and social inequality, the fight against state espionage and monitoring requires the international unification of the working class on the basis of a socialist program pledged to the overthrow of capitalism and the building of a socialist society.
