File under: Commies

#1 They were never known as that, they were always known as RAF from day one.
The "gang" was hung on them by the media, and you know what we think about them.
They were no gang, they were an active communist insurgent group that had the goal of the overthrow of the West German government. A very famous poll indicated that something shockingly high, like 4 out of 5 West Germans supported them. At this point I'm wondering why we didn't just let the commies have them. Jerks.

#7 BBC put this out two days ago, so this story must be getting traction despite her arrest about four months ago:

#8 Nah. There was a very famous poll in Der Spiegel or similar, and a stupidly high number of West Germans supported these communist insurgents. You can deny all you like but we know the truth.
Tons and sons and tons of West Germans, and Europeans in general would have loved to evict the evil capitalist Americans and welcome in the good guys - the Soviets.
hell, even today, Europeans still resent us. it's nonsense to say that capitalism were the good guys and socialism were the bad guys.
