There was a really good article in the Guardian about RAF (far left West German terrorist group), so I thought I'd share it.

I am pretty sure there are no RAF groupies here. The people here are not exactly radical Trotskyites or Maoists.Thanks for the link.
I wonder if the article will be read by any of the the RAF groupies who infect DP?
There are Red Army Faction “groupies” here?Thanks for the link.

Who?
On a side note, the fact the Red Army Faktion and Royal Air Force share the same acronym has always amused me.Anyone who does not support the establishment of genocidal ethno-states is an RAF groupie, I suppose.
Baader-Meinhof was a better name.
What RAF groupies?…Thanks for the link.

I used to go out with a fraulein who claimed her aunt was a member of the Baader-Meinhof gang.
Did you sleep with an eye open?
Great read. Delusional, romantic, ideologically and worldly naive. Their shortcomings are still shared by so many “educated useful idiots” today and will probably continue on into the future.There was a really good article in the Guardian about RAF (far left West German terrorist group), so I thought I'd share it.

You are right- Although you left out the bit about Barda/Meinhof and their gang being murderous. They killed people, as would some of their present day admirers.Great read.

I felt that was understood as part of my response. Next time I’ll be more explicit.You are right- Although you left out the bit about Barda/Meinhof and their gang being murderous. They killed people, as would some of their present day admirers.

You still haven’t managed to say who these supposed admirers areYou are right- Although you left out the bit about Barda/Meinhof and their gang being murderous. They killed people, as would some of their present day admirers.

they were really evil murderers
The news media and the entertainment world’s thrives on feeding people’s fears to make buck, euro or whatever.In the hindsight it is so amazing how they were glorified in the 70s. They got wide coverage. Books were written. Movies were made. They were held in some kind of awe. The Venezuelan Ilich Ramirez Sanchez aka Carlos the Jackal was at the top. These days terrorists are not glorified so much
I can't wait. I like gory tales.I first ran into mention of the Baader-Meinhoff gang in the wake of the 1976 hijacking of Air France Flight 139 from Greece to Entebbe Uganda. Hijackers Wilfried Base and Brigitte Kuhlmann were connected by the media to the Baader-Meinhoff gang. Maybe more because the Baader-Meinhoff gang had more notoriety and name recognition than their actual affiliation to their group RZ Revolutionäre Zellen Revolutionary Cells
do you remember the case of the German Embassy in Stockholm?Thanks for the link.
