R.A.F. ist +STADTGUERILLA +(no anti-Communist comments permitted)

'The recent initiative by some reputable writers (not just the fucked up Günter Grass [47]) in the election campaign is being seen as an attempt to mobilise progressive and democratic forces. It is supposed to be a defence against fascist tendencies and therefore worthy of support. This is the mistaken reality of a few people in television, radio and in publishing broadcasting the views of a small elite of writers who have not (as yet) fully capitulated to the system. However these writers dont have much to do with those on the receiving end of State repression, those who are in prison; those victims of class justice; those who suffer accidents at work; the deluded consumers; the oppressive school system; the tabloid trash; the miserable council estates; the ghettos of foreigners. These writers can only understand this reality aesthetically, not politically.

Legality is the ideology of parliamentarianism, the social partnership, the plural society. Many of those attempting to challenge the system are ignoring the fact that telephones are being legally bugged; that the post is being scrutinized; that neighbours are being legally questioned; that informers are being paid; and that all this State activity is legal. The organisation of political work and activism if you want to keep away from the eyes of State scrutiny has to take place on an illegal level, as well as the legal one.

We refuse to rely on some spontaneous anti-fascist mobilisation in the face of this kind of State terror and fascism. We also dont believe that choosing a path of legality necessarily leads to corruption. We are aware that our political practice can deliver similiar pretexts for intolerance and oppression such as the alcohol issue for Willy Weyer; or the growing crime figures issue for Strauß; or the Ostpolitik issue for Barzel; also for the ranting of a Frankfurt taxi driver; or the collection of money for the murderer of a car-thief in Berlin. Another excuse for intolerance towards us is that we are communists. Any progressive change is dependent on the organisation and struggle of communists. Therefore, whether terror and repression just cause fear and resignation or provoke armed resistance, class hatred and solidarity. Whether things will all go smoothly for the State imperialist strategy or take a different course. All these things are dependent upon whether communists are stupid enough to just lie down and let things happen to them or whether they are willing to use the legal means available for the purposes of organising the illegal struggle as opposed to what they are doing at the moment, which is to make out that the armed struggle is just some sort of fetish or fad.

The fate of the Black Panthers and that of the Gauche Proletarienne [48] can be put down to a false assessment of the inherent contradiction between the written constitution and the harsh reality when faced with the challenge of organised resistance. They did not realise the necessity of changing the conditions of legality when embarking on the path of active resistance. Active resistance means the use of legal means for the political struggle while sim-ultaneously taking the opportunity for underground organisation. It is wrong to grasp at illegality as some sort of last resort as some kind of desperate measure it is too self-destructive.

The Red Army Faction is organising the illegal struggle as an offensive position in a revolutionary intervention.

To be an urban guerilla means to launch an offensive against imperialism. The Red Army Faction is striking the connection between the legal and illegal resistance; between national and international resistance; between national and international struggle; between the strategic and tactical requirements of the international communist movement.

The Urban Guerilla Concept means that despite the weakness of the revolutionary forces in the Federal Republic and West Berlin we intend to make a revolutionary intervention: Here And Now!

Either you are part of the problem or part of the solution. There is nothing in between. The whole shit has been researched and examined from all sides already. Im of the opinion that the majority of things in this country are not in need of any more analysis or study. (Cleaver*)

SUPPORT THE ARMED STRUGGLE!
VICTORY IN THE PEOPLES WAR!'

[Guevaristas]

look how popular the RAF are, this , simple to make, has recieved thousands of hits

[Skerne]

Rebels without a clue, its a shame such intelligence lead to such madness.

[Guevaristas]

@Skerne you need your brain taken apart and re-assembled: you mean "rebels with a cause"? You are one twisted prick and probably a supporter of Hitler

[Guevaristas]

@Skerne that is your lame generalization. Such a shame so much inaction from the masses keeps them oppressed-what madness

[miguelnevoeiro]

We have the right to fight , to counter-violence the violence the power of the state.

[OnCityStreets]

RAF FOR EVER!

[69Techno69pt]

@Skerne They were polluted? Shut the fuck up you pig. How dare you criticize RAF members as polluted? Do you imagine the intelectual strength they had? You wish you were half inteligent as they were.

[Guevaristas]

@Skerne

'Power corrupts and for the members of the RAF it was no different to any other human being.'

My, what grand assumprtions of human nature you make, without a shred of evidence. Now you are lecturing here on theories of human nature, what's your course entitled PHIL 101?

[Skerne]

@Guevaristas Clearly you have lost track of your communism, you behave like a nazi and a facist. I have not made any anti communist comments. Power corrupts and for the members of the RAF it was no different to any other human being. I maybe dust one day, well thats life. As for calling people brain dead, open up your narrow mind, that is what many of the members of the RAF did in their youth before they were polluted like you. As for your Hitler comment, F**k hitler he was as deranged.

[Guevaristas]

@Skerne it is enjoyable to moderate the pathetic comments made be brain-dead idiots like yourself. You comment will be deleted in a couple of days, and one day you will be dust in the ground

[Skerne]

@Guevaristas Unfortunately these RAF members died as a result of them feeding each other beliefs. Their mindsets were so dellusional that it killed them in the end. I am sure they could have changed german society for the better, if they weren't so narrow minded. They once had the support of the country, however they lost everyhting in the name of their own personal cause, not one of communism but selfishness, egomania, and fame.

As a moderator you are a facist, take a good look at yourself

[Guevaristas]

@Skerne it is you that has not a single clue, you choose to live under a fascist state, you and others like you are mad
