How the Revolutionary Internationalist Organisation (RIO) is sabotaging the fight against the pandemic in Germany
The pseudo-left Revolutionary Internationalist Organisation (RIO), which operates around Germany’s Left Party and the trade unions, is playing a particularly nasty role in sabotaging the struggle against the pandemic. RIO is the German offshoot of the Morenoite “Trotskyist Fraction-Fourth International” (FT-CI).
In a statement entitled “#ZeroCovid: What are the tasks of the left and the working class?” the editorial board of
Klasse gegen Klasse (
Class against Class ), RIO’s online publication, feigns support for #ZeroCovid. It should be “a political goal to reduce contagion to zero and eradicate the pandemic.” The whole statement, however, is aimed at directing workers and youth toward the trade unions and establishment parties responsible for the official pandemic policy and the mass deaths.
