is there any method to the madness? I stumbled upon some stuff and its horrifying, but could be understood from a very neutral perspective. Is it entirely full of racists and reactionaries?

      Che's Foquismo concept was turned into a kind of accelerationist theory by the RAF in the late 1970s, but it didn't work out at all. Ché couldn't replicate his successes in Cuba himself when he tried that in other countries, either.

      The RAF was more or less a total failure. Yes, they shot a bunch of nazis who had made stellar careers in postwar Germany (these small details about the past of their vicitms is usually omitted in the coverage of the "German Autumn"), but it didn't create pre-revolutionary conditions in spite of Germany having a fairly massive militant left at that point in time. It did create a very brutal reactionary backlash, with the SPD purging the public sector of "radicals" and laying the groundwork for a new surveilance state.

      Anybody who wants to do a stochastic minecraft should keep that in mind. Individualist adventurism is no replacement for and not a proper lead-in to a revolutionary mass movement. You have to get the people on your side before you turn to revolutionary violence.
