    Remember that ultraleft adventurism actually achieved very little in Europe despite decades of trying. Is N17 blowing up CIA dudes fucking awesome? Hell yeh. Did it actually generate popular support for proletarian revolution? No. And don’t forget the shitshow that happened in Italy. We forget these historical lessons at our peril.

      Yeah I'm aware that even having this discussion right now here means those movements fell short, but if I was born 50 years earlier, and even just somewhat similar to how I am right now, I'd probably be very sympathetic to their cause

      When we were little shits, we didn't know much.

      But we already liked to play R.A.F. and the police.

      I never wanted to be a cop because cops are just filth.

      I would much rather be a terrorist and bomb everything away.

      And I scratched an RAF star in the school desk,

      Our fat headmaster's pig almost burst out of rage.

      Red Army Faction, you were a great bunch!

      Red Army Faction, something went wrong with you!

      Red Army Faction, I always thought you were great -

      Unfortunately, I was still too young to be with you already.

      But my heart was already beating for the Red Army faction back then.

      Unfortunately, the RAF only failed to explain what it dreams of.

      The theory was intellectual and complicated.

      The little man she fought for didn't quite get it -

      Then the state could easily isolate them as an "enemy of the people".

      The bigwigs pissed off and then said "RAF!" said.

      They warned the nightmare and he chased them every night.

    Yesterday I was with my dad while we were listening to the ALAB ep on Epstein's banking connections.

    He seemed to appreciate the humour and insight from them all being accomplished lawyers, compared to the time it took for him to warm up to Brace's ranting on Trueanon.... until they laughed appreciatively and repeatedly about the RAF blowing the legs off of the DBank CEO back in the day.

    Inside tho I was all :party-sicko:
