Is the Rote Armee Fraktion something that interests people outside of Germany/Austria? Do non-german people even know the RAF existed?

I only know that they existed due to being involved in Leftist circles. But they are to Tankie for my taste.
I am more likely to support the like of EZLN in Mexico
Andrew Evans
Sound familiar to me
we had something like that in chile iven the logo look like it
Parker Gray
theres a pretty good movie about them, even with english subtitles it seems. i was very critical towards them so far but some of their positions are actually very understandable, given the historical context
Josiah Foster
I'll take a watch in a bit if I can find a download for it.
I wish there were more films around historical-leftist movements. Makhnovist Ukraine, or Revolutionary Catalonia
Eli Davis
Yup, Denmark had their own branch of Commie terrorists.
Ethan Thomas
i didn't know that. what kind of stuff did they pull off?
Evan Robinson
If it's red, it's dead
Caleb Miller
They robbed banks and send the money to PLO, ended up with the one of the most famous killing in Denmark. It's the one of the few times a police officer has been killed on active duty

Sebastian Myers
they dressed and looked cool
would have let myself to be recruited
Cooper Hill
their leaders were dope as fuck
Brandon Williams
i dont want to be one of those "le [insert time period before the current time priod here] is better than [current time period]" people, but are there any significant modern leftist movements that have the same level of charisma and attraction these guys had?
Jonathan Campbell
we has Action Directe in France
Justin Evans
>commies
>numale and a tranny
Who would've thought
Jaxson Bailey
had* fuck my phone
Tyler Ramirez
One of the strangest cases I know of is this guy who went from being an extremist commie in RAF to becomming full on nazi

Wtf was the deal with RAF?
>We will undercover the fascist state if we terrorize our liberal democracy long enough.
Why were first world youth of this era so attracted to maoism?
>Mao goes from one disaster to another in agricultural China causing havoc
>w0w this seems like quite the model to use in our industrial world, what could possibly go wrong?
Why were they so stupid??
Henry Adams
You know how edgy kids on Veeky Forums rebel against their comfortable left leaning parents by being nazis? It was kind of like that, only they were rebelling against their parents who were actual nazis.
Jaxon Adams
Seems like some boring edgy bourgeois LARPers who were just terrorist light and pawns of the USSR anyway. If the German government ever did any shit to them, I can guarantee they deserve it and more.
Ayden Bailey
This.
Xavier Cook
They actually do this? I always thought it was a meme
Lincoln Hall
did they actually have a connection to the USSR og China or some other communist power? Also what happened to the RAF after the changes of 1989-1991? Did they just dissolve?
Luis Perry
Also, edgy punk rock teens in Britain started being ironic nazis to piss off their WW2 parents until actual neo-nazis started being part of the scene.
all this shit seems retarded as fuck to me though, even in the context of my edgy teen days. I never walked around in black pajamas and one of those straw hats Raiden from Mortal Kombat wears praising Ho Chi Mihn to piss off my dad.
Xavier Bailey
They occupied and subsequently blew up the GDR embassy here in Stockholm, that's how I first heard of them. It was the only "successful" (as in thry killed people) terrorist attack here ever
Jacob King
>Two military organisations called the RAF both destroy Germany
Irony
Angel Taylor
What? They blew up the East German embassy? Weren't they sympathetic to the DDR?
Austin Clark
It was the west german embassy. They tried to kidnapp our justice minster afterwards.
Thomas Rodriguez
They probably received funding from east Germany, and Soviet aligned sympathizers was how they got safehouses.
Benjamin Lee
>succesful
>fall over own trap wire and blow up whole building ruining the whole idea
Luis Perez
Yes. In Estonia it is usually called baader-meinhof group.
Ian Hernandez
>Do non-german people even know the RAF existed?
The only time I see it being discussed outside of Coldwar history is when people use it as an example of European terrorism to contrast with islamic terrorism
Adam Murphy
i watched a film about them a few years ago.
imdb.com
The lives of the people involved are absolutely insane.
James Hernandez
Mainly because of the clash
Jayden Jones
That's not strange at all. Look at Otto Schily.
Julian Ortiz
>urban guerrilla warfare
Did it EVER work?
