Everyone is conflating the issue of sexual violence against women with the
question of the attackers' culture, their religion, immigration, etc. It
has gotten to the point that one poster submitted an article penned by the
leader of a notoriously anti-Muslim organization in the UK, and others on
the list are explicitly making the issue about the attackers' (presumed)
religious and ethnic backgrounds.

How anyone -- including Marxists -- can turn the issue of a dark-skinned
person engaging in rape in Germany into an issue of whether or not the
religious beliefs of people in other parts of the world encourage rape is
mindboggling and, by definition, xenophobic. It assumes that immigrant
groups in any part of the world are simply extensions of the cultures they
or their ancestors lived with in different contexts, ignoring the fact that
immigrant communities are very much a part of the communities in which they
live -- and, in cases like this, in which some of them carried out at least
one rape.

The fact that women are attacked anywhere by anyone is disgusting -- and as
I pointed out, along with the articles that have been posted by Andrew and
John Passant, that culture of rape has a long history in Germany alone, and
in particular in party culture (Oktoberfest, fraternities, etc). Rapes may
not happen at the same rate in every part of the world. But as far as what
happened in Cologne, that kind of sexual violence -- gang rapes by
party-goers -- is unfortunately infrequent in many parts of Europe and
North America.

Others seem to think that making this analogy is itself disrespectful to
women and their experiences in some way. Why? That is exactly what happened
here: party-goers decided to get drunk, rowdy, and rape-y. Somehow, the
same terrible crimes that are pervasive in youth party culture were
re-written into a story about hundreds of Arab men forming a horde,
rampaging through the streets of Cologne raping every white woman in sight.
That is, outside of being ridiculous, so obviously racist and reminiscent
of the kinds of rumor-mongering about Africans in the United States, that I
am astonished that others on the list would embrace such a narrative. I'm
also surprised at how instinctively defensive others on the list have been.
Merely pointing out that racist tropes are being used by the far-right to
exaggerate this crime (from one rape and pervasive sexual harassment by
thirty men into hundreds of rapes by thousands of men) is being conflated
with defending or downplaying the crime itself. Rape is always wrong -- and
so are racist and xenophobic explanations for rape culture.

  The campaign exploiting reports about the New Years Eve in Cologne is not  
campaign to defend women, even less a campaign to widen women's rights. You 
will among the media bosses, talking heads and politicians pushing the campaign 
nobody who is not denying women the right to decide over her own body, 
especicially not over the reproductive functions of a woman's body. That is to 
stay under the patriarchal ruling class' command. A number of countries in 
Europe have even passed laws ordering  dress codes on women, denying women to 
decide themselves how much of their body to unveil or hide, and this coupled 
with racist discriminations. 

  The New Years Eve in Cologne is being used for a reactionary campaign to 
curtail democratic rights, limit the freedom of movement, facilitating 
deportations, limit the freedom of speech, and -- limiting the rights of women. 

  That women were victim of groping by men, being treated disrespectful, is 
just used to put the "unwashed masses of this planet" back to "their place 
where they belong", to portrait every Arab or Muslim in general as inferior, 
and the Muslim religion as inferior. 

  And please check it out -- there is no class society which is not 
patriarchal, and not religion either. Frederick Engels expressed it so 
succintly in the title of his famous book about "The origin of private 
property, the family and the state". 
  
  It is just that in some societies, women have managed to score some important 
victories, like in winning at least some right to decide themselves if they 
want to give birth to a child or have an abortion. And that right is still 
under attack and will remain under attack as long as there is a propiertied 
class ruling over the actual producers.

of course. it could not be real to most men.this has not happened to you.
you feel better dismissing it? you do not want women in the public sphere?
it happens. it happens in subways. it happens in concert crowds. it happens
anywhere some think they can get away with it and women usually just move
away and on--because we have learned --as on this list--that many men will
be dismissive.  it may be reassuring to you to think this is only a
political tactic, but it but it is a real thing that happens to women and
depresses our engagement in the world.
and this list cannot understand at all. it is always the women's
fault..either for being out in the world or finally having courage to speak
up because there were so many women in this case and then have it dismissed
once again.
Why not begin with the pain of the women's assault and violation? You make
the victims twice over by seeing this as political theater.

ANY man, whatever social class or ethnicity, that sexually attacks a woman,
must be severely dealt with. I'm open to a long jail sentence - or worse!
Ditto for those involved in lynchings/pogroms against Muslims, or any other
oppressed nationality.

I'm confused by your analogy. Are you saying the refugees are like the
white working class? Or are the German reactionaries the reactionary
white working class...

Exactly. Sadly many on the Left view the world in absolutes, similar to
reactionaries.

Right on Kathleen!

As Jeff said, I posted the original article not knowing about the political
background of the author, but sickened over the story as well as why no one
on this list mentioned it - one week after it had occured!

I had been in the movement for many years before I learned about the true
scope of the mass rape of German women perpetrated by the Red Army at the
close of WW2. The uncomfortable silence over such a stain on the record of
a (degenerated!) "workers' state" is similar to the discomfort of some in
laying responsibility for this New Year's Eve attack.

We are champions of the working class, yet when a section of that class
engages in utterly reactionary behavior, we should feel no reluctance to
condemn them in the strongest terms. When Trotsky spoke of the racist
attitudes of white American workers towards Blacks including lynchings, he
said that "we must teach the American beasts!" The same goes for attackers
of women. I would think this to be ABC for "Marxists."

I agree with Kathleen as well. During the swp stuff a few years back (which 
inoculated me against leninism for life) it became staggering how experienced

There's a hint here of the aggressors in some accounts almost being portrayed

   Please make a distinction between what happened on New Years Eve and the 
reactionary campaign which is going on now, started only a few days after the 
new year began.  
 
   Women were victims of sexual molestations in that festivity, but that was 
over the next morning, on January 1st. Some women filed complaints, and the 
reactionary campaign using that as a pretext promted more women to follow. 

   The campaign which was then launched by reactionary elements in Cologne, and 
spread like a wildfire over the whole republic and beyond the borders, with 
accusations become more and more ludicrous, reaching a peak with TV5MONDE's 
claim of "100 women being raped by 1000 Arabs". 

   And this campaign uses women only as the bait, with the bait being being 
eaten, i.e. destroyed by the fish...

  Well, you may imagine what you want (I have a sticker on my appartment's 
door: "Whatever you imagine in your fantasy, it is happening behind this door" 
- with Groucho Marx as icon). 

   What kind of "sexual assault" do you have in your fantasy? Please let us 
know. 

  The campaign is waged to get people like you to side with the enemies of 
women. Since that's what the people waging this campaign are. And it obviously 
has a lot of success.

   like a life sentence or death for touching the buttock, for example? 

  And please not, the reactionary campaign does not talk about ordinary white 
men molesting women, or even raping. 

  No, only "North African and Arab" men are being target. Not special rights 
for women are being asked, but special punishments for Muslims.

  Remember how sexual relations of Blacks with "white" women were a central 
tenet of the US-american racist, and probably still is, and have again and 
again been used as a pretext for lynching. 

  A repetition of that is going on in Germany, and spreading world wide. And 
you want to side with the lynch mobs? Since that is the question! 

  The Ku Kux Klan is obviously still virulent, and found an echo among some 
people writing on this list.
