Brigitte Mohnhaupt of the RAF and Baader-Mainhof organisation to be released soon
In some ways the Baader-Meinhof organisation was reminiscent of such great Europeans as Rosa Luxembourg.
Death has already claimed the founders of the Red Army Faction, a group of students and intellectuals who believed they could engineer a communist mass uprising by the West German working class. Their bizarre theory was that by assassinating senior business and justice officials, they could provoke the government into establishing a police state, which would make communism seem the desirable alternative to the masses.
Many people were displeased at both the Baader-Meinhof organisation and the RAF, which at one point was said to be close to obtaining nuclear weapons. It may well be that assassinating senior business and justice officials, but more commonly senior politicians and businessmen, may be the only way to secure freedom from repression and avoidance of destruction by decent people everywhere. With global warming, mass exploitation of the workers and genocide internationally, at no time does this seem more likely than now !
So there was a lot of point to the RAF but, as with so many organisations, a lot of the detail was not properly placed. When we compare Russian socialism to the present day status of most Westerners, there can be little doubt that some of the actions of the RAF may seem ill advised. When compared to Iran, N. Korea, Israel and even up to a point China, there seems little doubt that however disliked the RAF may have been, there is little doubt as to the good and useful intentions of the RAF, from a Western diplomatic point of view. It is not going too far to suggest that if the RAF had chiefly acted in one of the aforementioned countries they would have been hailed in the West as freedom fighters.
IMO: The moral is that senior politicians, civil servants, businessmen and judges everywhere, should reconsider themselves and improve their existing corrupt patterns of behaviour, and think first before they act.
