With the archive “Friendship!” we explore the experiences, debates and the development of an anti-imperialist and internationalist strategy in the DDR and the wider socialist camp. With concise contributions, we want to shed light on different aspects of the international class struggle and investigate contradictions and ideological discussions that arose throughout the course of the previous century.
Today, our relationship to this highly dynamic and productive period of anti-imperialism – its concepts, struggles and theories – is often obscured and broken. Through the re-discovery and re-appropriation of these experiences, the archive aims to help us gain an orientation and acquire a new drive for the tasks of the present.
The foundational text for the archive can be downloaded here.
The archive will open in the spring of 2023 with a first selection of articles and interviews.
