In Berlin I had a good impression of the anti-war movement in Germany. In the East and Berlin this movement is clearly led by PDS. In the west it is led by PDS, DKP, and the small groups. But in the east there is a real dominance of PDS. The leaders of PDS argue in a pacifist way, talking about the peoples law and the constitution that is damaged by the NATO. But they donīt talk about imperialism. There are also people in PDS who a pro-Millosevic. The maiority of PDS is not for the right of selfdetermination of Kosova. They might talk about autonomy but nothing more. "Junge Welt", the independent daily marxist newspaper and that is close to left wing PDS and DKP, has a fatal position about Kosova. They are against the NATO of course, but they trust in the official Serbian propaganda and write about the Albanians in a only cynical and rascist way I think even the maiority of the German left (exept some Trotskyist and Maoist groups) are against the right of selfdetermination and they are supporters of Millosevic.
PDS leader Gregor Gysi first visited Millosevic and than the refugee camps in Albania. Now he confesses the crimes of the Millosevic government.
Another problem with the PDS-anti-war position is its pacifism. The people in the GDR were educated in a pacifist tradition (not in a antimilitarist or anti-imperialist one). this is another crime of stalinism. This petit bourgois pacifism makes it hard for them to argue against the pro-human right NATO supporters in the government. But the east German pacifism is much deeper than in West Germany (were the former pacifists in the Green party are now NATO supporters). The rank and file of PDS forced the leadership to this anti-war position. there might be opportunists in the leadership who would like to call for NATO, but because of the reaction of PDS rank and file they do not dare to talk about it.

In Berlin there are anti-war demonstrations every day. there is a small one every evening with several houndred participants in West Berlin. It is joined by West Berlin PDS groups, several trade unions who are in direct oppostion to the pro-war positions of the trade union leaders, and serbian groups. In the east there is also every day an anti-war picket, but I donīt know how much people attend.
There was a big demonstration with 6000 people a week ago. At the so called eastern march of the peace movement 20.000 people joined it. And at the beginning of the war there was a PDS demonstration with 25.000 participants. Except the Liebknecht-Luxemburg memorial it was the only time that PDS realy mobilieses its members on street action.
There are public discussion meetings from PDS, education offices close to PDS and of anti-imperialist groups every day.
When anti war activists occupied the office of the Berlin Green party to use it as a counter information center the greens called for police and police stormed the office. A Green member of the Berlin city parliament quits the party because of it. There are sings that the Green party will break and collapse because of the pro-war position of its leaders. I think this year will be the end of the German Greens as a party. Some of them might enter PDS (and will move it to the right, because they are pacifists, but not socialists), most of the left wing will just quit the Greens but not enter PDS because they are very anticommunist.
After police raided the counter information center in the occupied Green office, PDS decided to give rooms to this anti-war group to make the counter information in the PDS office. I donīt know whether this realy happend.
