The Red Army Faction, or Baader Meinhof gang – as the left-wing urban guerrilla organisation was also known – terrorized Germany from the late-1960s onwards. Their declared war against “fascist imperialism” was driven by a conviction that capitalist West Germany was a US puppet state run by former Nazis.
This German Antifa is just a reiteration of that old gang, getting back together.
They have formed a “de facto” alliance with the Islamic thugs that have infested Germany. Islam as an ideology is a very crude form of socialism, and highly receptive to the camaraderie.
But then, all of socialism is pretty crude as an ideology.
This current version of German Antifa....is like a double-A league group compared to the Red Army Faction. Let’s not forget....RAF had tons of support via the Stassi or East German Authorities. So far, the Antifa folks have very limited support from anyone, and after the G-20 Hamburg episode....they lost massive public standing.
Also, in relation to the Islam crowd, there’s nothing to connect the dots. There’s no goals that would show a relationship.
Finally, I would note that operating back in the 1970s with the RAF, no internet, no mass monitoring of the public, and no real technology trails...it was simple to survive. If the RAF tried to survive in modern times, it’d be awful hard. Toss in the fact that facial recognition software is almost ready to deploy and it’ll be hard to hide folks.
