In the name of justice

It is about the history of the German youth RAF (Red Army Faction). This film taught the people a vivid education lesson. Its central idea is:

When anger can make a person abandon his family and children for a great cause, he begins to ask other people around him to make the same sacrifices. When his opponent has become a target instead of a single person, he should ask himself whether he has also become the enemy he hates. Is the body in the cage locked tightly by my own heart?

Closed cells can make people lose their minds, and people who use this world as a cell, and those who live to break through it, may also turn this world into someone else's cell.

So, be more vigilant in the face of out-of-control anger. Not only be wary of others, but also be wary of yourself. To liberate this world, it is better to liberate yourself first. With the complete liberation of the soul, crossing the closed walls does not necessarily require killing others.

What's interesting is that the terrorist activities of these white German youths in those days looked so similar to those of the second-generation minorities in Europe and America.

Comrades raise their right hands, don't be a group. Long live the self-talking school!

The Baader Meinhof Complex quotes

  • 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.
