Guess how /r/de responded to this.
Guess
They’re espousing horse shoe theory for those that can’t read German. Also, not a word in response to the colonialism charge, because Germans don’t think they’re complicit in colonialism.
Because to them the workings of the “free market” don’t constitute colonialism. They have issued the second most foreign debt in absolute terms, but they also think the German republic does not bear responsibility for the colonial actions of a government, which does not have direct continuity with the one that exists now.
I’ve had earnest debates with Germans that say it’s not their responsibility to return cultural artifacts to Benin, because they didn’t take them in the first place.
Nah, they’re being way more reactionary.
I mean the horseshoes theory is there allright, common opinion is however that is that Greenpeace should be classified as a terrorist organization (because no one there knows what terrorism means) and also that by forcing VW to remake the 1000 keys they actually contributed far more to the enviromental problem than VW ever has.
Is this the same factory where they demolished hundreds and hundreds of old trees to build?
Wtf return of the Red Army Faction?!
Say it with me:
G-L-A, D-I-O
Spooks are knocking at my door!
G-L-A, D-I-O
No more false flag episodes!
Not everyone is as chickenshit as you. Not every act of resistance is an Op.
Doesn’t matter, same consequences. Germany is cracking down on the left and this will be another figleaf. A few cables got damaged, great. You can stroke yourself to small scale eco-terrorism, it leads nowhere, in this case as in others.
Way back with the Bolshevik party they knew individualist terrorism like this is in practical terms worthless, bomb a tsar a new one is born, bomb a factory they build it back up with insurance money and all the while the working class feels less unity with you because they are not radicalized yet and this just scares those who dont just ignore it.
Propaganda of the deed has never worked, I get that people may think “Oh this is cool though” but violence for its own sake or for the coolness of it is not revolutionary. If it doesnt serve a material effect, which in practical terms small scale terrorist actions like these don’t, then it must serve as a message, but who receives the message?
The Bourgeoise already know that their actions will cause shit like this, they are not gonna grow particularly more afraid and cautious as a class because of this because there has always been small scale terrorism against them to one degree or another.
The message the proletariat receives is not “We are on your side, we are fighting for you”, because the proletariat at large does not yet fight for this or have a conscious desire to fight for this, whatever long piece of theory you associate with your deed will be tainted by the fact that you are doing( to the eyes of the proletariat) random acts of violence for what seems to be your own individual desires. You cant go back afterwards and try to describe to the people why you are doing these acts of violence, the people first have to wish to do all this themselves and be ready to rise up, otherwise you’re just some lunatics who set fire to a factory cause you were mad at Elon Musk.
:honecker-interesting: lives on!
