Was für eine Feheinschätzung: Noch im März kommt es zu blutigen Terroranschlägen gegen die Gewerkschaften. Allein am 13. März gehen beim ADGB-Vorstand Schreckensmeldungen aus über 20 Orten ein.

Whenever fascism has taken power trade unions have been banned. Many trade unionists suffered jail and persecution. That was true in Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy and in Franco’s Spain.
The reason is simple. Fascism reduces everything in society to complete state control. Everything is under the heel of the state. Trade unions are the basic defence units of working people, defending jobs, wages and working conditions. Fascism cannot tolerate the fact they are independent organisations upholding the interests of working people.
