The Baader-Meinhoff gang and the war the communists failed to start.
A new film on the BM gang or Red Army faction as they were later called,draws attention to the hatreds in Western societies and the birth of terrorism as a means by which the disaffected members of our communities attempt to destroy the very framework of the society that nurtures them.
“Capitalism”. It is like a drug,many people say that it is bad for you but there is no other system that gives people the pleasures they crave.
What upset the BM people was the success of capitalist West Germany in receiving,from the war,while their beloved East Germany,a communist paradise,failed to give its people what they wanted. The East Germans would have been happy if there was no affluent
West over the fence!
Christianity teaches us that the rich are evil and only the poor are good.
That may be an attractive idea if you are young,poor and fit but if you are old,out of work and in need of medication to help you live and stop going blind,then your view is different.
Socialiasm and Christianity and perhaps even Islam have an element of puritanism in their philosophy. All believe that their self appointed leaders will guide their flocks down the path of righteousness,which seems to be to enforce the leaders will and follow a basic Marxist philosophy.
There must be more behind the BM gang’s action to go to war against the German state than that. These terrorists were young and well educated,communism was fashionable after WW2 as the answer to the state terror that was responsible for the war. They hated the West German state,an economic triumph but suffocating by authoritarian (The Guardian Weekly 31/10/08) and they hated America. In the end they admitted defeat and disbanded in 1998. They had failed but the Left now has a more potent weapon,the suicide bombers of Islam. The aim is still the same,to destroy Europe,what replaces our present deomocratic system however flawed,is of no consequence as long as their enemies are destroyed.
Very many Europeans were in sympathy with BM gang and their aim of changing the world:the world needs it,is still popular.
The present economic problems were caused because Presidents Clinton and Carter wanted to give cheap mortgages and homes to black Americans and Obama wants to go further.
There is only one problem Capitalism can never fund the excesses of Utopian socialism,England and the USA proved that.
The extreme Left and Islam are in alliance to conquer Europe. If we do not fight we will lose everything.
Islam,Christianity and communism are all similar in one respect,they can only thrive under conditions of abject poverty.
They all must therefore make sure that the advantages of capitalism do not become apparent to their poor citizens. Under the tyrannical rule of the Church,communism or Islam,the way to the top is through the tyrannical bureaucracy and the E.U. commissioners in Brussels are living proof of the problems when bureaucrats rule.
Capitalism does on occasions fail to provide for the demands put on it by socialist governments. The sub-prime mortgage is an example and rampant gambling in the financial markets did not help,but it was the capitalism of the democracies that has made the West as rich as it is,not the church,Islam or communism.
Now the extreme Left is allied with the Islam to overthrow Capitalism and in Holland,Belgium and other European nations and Islam will be supreme in the future.
