dancing with imperialism

Wolfgang and Juliane—their deaths are hard for us, especially in such an absurd accident. They had prepared for a different death, not this brutal, daily metropolitan waste. The bullshit the press is cranking out is really too much. Anyone who ever had anything to do with Wolfgang knows who he was.……… Read the rest

Today, June 26, 1979, the prisoners from the RAF, the other social revolutionary movements, and the social prisoners, are collectively ending the hunger and thirst strike.
