      【Reprint】 Cao Changqing: "New Das Kapital" is touted by the blind

      The huge disaster caused by communism caused by Marx's "Das Kapital" is by no means "not" obvious to all. Whether it is the Gulag of the Soviet Union, the Great Famine in China, the "killing battlefield" of the Khmer Rouge, the suffering of the boat people in Vietnam, or the hungry ghosts of North Korea today, the Western leftists can't see them even if they are killed (not at all, or like Like an ostrich, pretending that nothing happened). As for how many billions of people's souls have been...

      My heartfelt condolences to comrades Badr and Mainhoff


        In the 1960s and 1970s, US imperialism invaded Vietnam, which aroused the unanimous condemnation of peace-loving people all over the world. Under the chairman and the wise leadership of our party, the whole world has started a great revolution that touched people’s souls, heading on to all challenges of the bourgeoisie in the ideological field, using the proletariat’s own new ideas, new culture, and new customs. , New habits, to change the mental outlook of the entire society....

      Casually walking through the scene-Badr and Mainhoff

      For certain political and historical themes, it is relatively easy to stare at the director’s baton and watch his performance skills. It's like dropping the baton, even if you don't know the staff, you know that you are playing in a minor situation. According to data records, the "Red Army Detachment (RAF)" was an extreme left-wing armed organization that advocated anarchism and violence in West Germany after the war, and subverted the original good wishes into a series of terrorist...

      Betrayal of revolution

      If the film is divided into two parts, then the first part is the first part of the inspiring revolutionary planning until the implementation and the results are achieved, and the second part is the arrest of the main leaders and imprisonment. If the first part is enough to show the courage and charm of the revolution, then the second part is the inevitable betrayal of the revolution.

              From the beginning, the ideas and actions of radicals such as Baader were full of impulse and...

      Germans are fucking crazy

      The historical background is not very clear, so purely in terms of the film, it is against the American Vietnam War and the German centralization system. It is true that this is a very serious problem. It is too weak to rely solely on the condemnation of public opinion, but it is too blind to rely on such violent organizations. In the end, no matter how violent the left-wing organizations are, the government does not. Agree to release these political prisoners.
          This happened in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Gudrun Ensslin: If the enemy fights you, that is good. For it is proof that between us and the enemy a clear dividing line exists. If the enemy confronts us forcefully, and paints us in the blackest of colors, then even better. It shows that we have not only drawn a line between us and the enemy, but also that our work has led to magnificent success.

    • Ulrike Meinhof: If you throw one stone, it's a punishable offence. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it's political action. If you set a car on fire, it's a punishable offence. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it's political action. Protest is when I say I don't agree with something. Resistance is when I ensure that things which I disagree no longer take place.

    • Ulrike Meinhof: But that is who we are, that is where we come from. We are the offspring of metropolitan annihilation and destruction, of the war of all against all, of the conflict of each individual with every other individual, of a system governed by fear, of the compulsion to produce, of the profit of one to the detriment of others, of the division of people into men and women, young and old, sick and healthy, foreigners and Germans, and of the struggle for prestige. Where do we come from? From isolation in individual row-houses, from the suburban concrete cities, from prison cells, from the asylums and special units, from media brainwashing, from consumerism, from corporal punishment, from the ideology of nonviolence, from depression, from illness, from degradation, from humiliation, from the debasement of human beings, from all the people exploited by imperialism.
