Dear comrades,
on the occasion of May Day 2008, the MLPD extends to you the warmest and most sincere greetings from Germany.
We are celebrating the international day of struggle of the working class with demonstrations and events in more than 100 cities and feel closely united with the struggling workers and masses of people in all parts of the world.
This year’s May Day here bears the mark of the working class offensive. During the last months hundreds of thousand of workers from various branches took to the streets for higher wages and salaries. Trainees, active young trade unionists and many youth organizations are among those who are standing in the first line in the struggle for training, jobs, culture and future and they will be a characteristic feature of May Day. The government is rapidly losing credit. The masses are searching for a societal perspective and are becoming more open for the alternative of genuine socialism.

For the title of this book, author Stefan Engel employs an allegory from German mythology: in the götterdämmerung, the "twilight of the gods", the end of the world engulfs the worn-out gods of an antiquated age, and out of the world conflagration grows an admirable new world of peace an full, joyous live. The parallel with the decline of the present ruling stratum of world society and the preparation of a new future well worth living is intended! The book wrests this vision from the realm of mythology and places it on a scientific foundation.
