The NPD wants to replace the existing order by a "Volksgemein- economy".


From the perspective of the NPD is only an ethnically homogenous "national
community" is a natural, the true nature of man appropriate and acceptable
state and social order. It aims to achieve a counter-proposal to a parliamentary
democracy in Germany. The view taken by the NPD nationalist basic ideas
bring in connection with a variety of political issues often xenophobic,
anti-Semitic, racist - expressed positions - and verharm- in relation to the
historical National Socialism and be Solved affirmative. Thus the NPD seems
ideologically formative for the entire rechtsextre- extremist spectrum. Their
expected target of "Systemüberwin--making" and its tenets are content contrary
to the free democratic basic order of the Basic Act. The law passed in June
2010 party program of the NPD is supported by a strong nationalism and
establishes the concept of "national community" in a peoples kisch-collectivist
interpretation. Thus we read in Parteipro- program:

Popular rule requires the national community. The state takes on the overall
responsibility for the nation as a whole is true and therefore stands above group
interests.

A fundamental political change must stop both kostspie- celled and


misanthropic integration policy and aimed at the preservation of the German
national substance. Inte- gration is tantamount to genocide.

For the NPD, the dignity of the individual does not result from the free will of the Racist and nationalist
individual, but is dependent on biological and of genetic sharing in the "national ideology approach
community". Since only German folkish descent part of may be "national
community", a racist and nationalist xenophobia embossed fundamental part of
Parteiideolo-'s strategy of "reality-man", which is mainly directed against
"foreign domination" and "foreign infiltration".

The NPD tracked not only recognizable right-wing extremist goals. They also
tried to spread their extremist right- views on civic issues. So it deals with the
slogan "Only national is social" reinforced with socio-political issues. Thus, the
NPD wants to represent as a social protest party and stoke the fears of the
population against social reforms, unemployment and a "multicultural society".
To get closer to the goal of political Machter- greifung, the party is pursuing a
four "strategic pillars" based approach. These columns they called catchword
with the terms:
Four-pillar strategy

- "Battle for the minds"


- "Battle for the streets"
- "Battle for the parliaments"
- "Battle for the organized will".

The "battle for the minds" refers to the political and theoretical work. The
"ethnic-national programmatic" to be conveyed further developed and the
citizens. Especially given the refugee issue, the increasing brutalization shows
many debates on the Internet that the NPD strategy of "fight for the minds" is
partially successful. In the "battle for the streets" is shown presence on one
side by a number of public events such as parades and demonstrations and on
the other hand the people are mobilized. In the third column, the "battle for the
parliaments", it goes to the NPD success as a political party election. The aim is
to gain power and influence, as well as the granting of financial contributions.

With the "battle for the organized will" aims to NPD, a bundling of all right-wing
forces under their leadership on without defining programmatic content.
Basically, the NPD wants to be taken likely as part of a unity of action as the
central and decisive force of right.

Völkischer wings Within the NPD in early 2018 founded tion a new grouping that calls itself
"Völkischer wings". On January 30, the group issued a proclamation on the
Internet. Historically, January 30 is connected to the day of the seizure of power
of Adolf Hitler. Among the approximately 40 original signatories of the
proclamation "Völkischer wings" are NPD officials at the federal and state level,
including six NPD Landesvorsit- collapsing. Among the signatories are also
three personnel machines with current or previous references to Bavaria.

The group describes itself as "a nationalist and peoples kisch oriented alliance
within the NPD." The aim is, among other things, align the NPD as a party
"ethnic Germans" on "life-right man". The proclamation of the "Nationalist wing"
is related to a sustained Tenden factional dispute within the NPD. Factions
within the party criticizing including the supposedly moderate course of the
Federal party chairman Frank Franz, who heads the party since, 2014. The
choice of name, date of publication of the proclamation on January 30 symbolic
and far verlautbarten objectives of the new wing of the party point to a possibly
stricter ideological orientation and radicalization within the NPD. The

The originally from France and now pan-European "Identitarian movement" (IB)
is a right-wing extremist persons combination that follows a sometimes subtle,
aimed at the overall social discourse loading einflussungsstrategie. The IB
conceptually refers directly to the idea of ​the so-called Arsenal. "New Right"
and borrowed its strategic guiding principle, the so-called "Metapoli- tik", the
theses of the New Right mastermind Alain de Benoist. were distributed rights
activists from documents intensity under the identity-Sommeruniver- in August
2015 in France to the participating IB-activated, can be inferred by way of
example, this thrust. It says, among other things:

The IB is a metapolitical force trying to bring ideas, periodontal len and images
into the metapolitical field. With actions we create a media hype and virality that
scatter our slogans and images as quickly and widely as possible. [...] Our
political communication must reach the masses and be easily accessible.

Characteristic of the activism of the IB are public disturbance and transparent


Provocative social actions that they stage in the context of social media campaigns and spread.
media campaigns they orient

is to meet the hold Medienkonsumver- young audiences consistently on digital


trends. Since her first-time appearance at Facebook in October 2012, it is the
German branch of the movement, the "identitarian movement of Germany"
(IBD), succeeded in this way to acquire a reputation which extends over
right-wing extremist circles beyond and sometimes also causes mass media
attention.

like "foreigners out" therefore urge the IBD activists "re-migration" and "clear
reversal measures of migration flows". Instead of chanting "Germany for the
Germans" sketching them the ideal of a state and social system under the
premise of ethnic and cultural homogeneity. they summon instead of the
neo-Nazi connotations concept of "People's tod" the dangers of the "Great
exchange". Allegations, they would racism, nationalist and anti-demo- cratic
ideas preach, they disagree sharply and meet these by "real, direct democracy"
ideology and campaigns with euphemistic formulas like "ethnic pluralism" or the
fight for a tag.

On 29 April 2017, the IBD announced its intention to sue the observation by the Lawsuit against

secret service in Germany. For this purpose it set up its own campaign site and observation

a Facebook profile. On September 27, 2017, the IBD were sawn known to have
sent to the Federal Ministry of the Interior for an injunction declaration. This was
demanded to set the observation and not to mention the IBD
sungsschutzbericht in the Constitution. comparable order of 29 May, the Berlin
Administrative Court agreed with the Federal Ministry of the Interior,
provisionally pending a final decision in this Annual Report 2016 and for each
subsequent publication in the reporting of the IBD record "suspected case" the
hint. Moreover, the application of IBD was rejected. The dispute is still ongoing.

7.1.1 symbolism and ideology

Detecting signs of IBD is lambda, the eleventh letter of the Greek alphabet, in a
circle. The symbol was in ancient Greece, the distinguishing feature of the
Spartans who fought in the 5th century BC to the invasion of an over- mighty
Persian army. This victim myth corresponds to the self-perception of IBD, who
see themselves as the last ones th "European identity ethno-cultural" ret before
its setting by foreign domination and Islamization could.

Ideologically, the IBD sees himself in the tradition of so-called. "Conservative


Revolution", an anti-democratic, anti-liberal and anti-egalitarian flow of the
Weimar period. At the center of their propaganda are the ideological concepts
of "ethnic pluralism" and "Great Exchange". These go from one supposedly
Concept of ethnic predominant "ethno-cultural identity" of European nations from which tion by a
pluralism and Masseneinwande- culture of foreign immigrants was under threat. This threat
ethnocultural identity will also "ethnocultural" by the weak cohorts amplifies Europeans. A significant
indicators tor this "Great exchange "was the also opposed by the identitary,
"Great Exchange" alleged Islamization of Europe. This development will, in the opinion of the IB
through the so-called" Multikultis ", ie the political, cultural and economic elite
controlled. that the goal is to replace the traditional peoples and cultures of
Europe so far that arises at the end of a fiscal and replaceable "consumer
mass." The IBD propagated in this context, the spatial and cul- tural separation
of different ethnicities ( "ethnopluralism") and the "re-migration" that is ultimately
the expulsion of the popula- kerungsteile in Germany and Europe that do not
meet their "ethnokultu--cultural" criteria.

Close to the "blood and The identity-ideology has, despite rhetorical Abgrenzungsver- seeking parallels
soil" ideology of the Nazis to other right-wing extremist ideas and concepts on. The ethnopluralistische
postulate of the spatial and geopolitical separation of people by ethnic African
criteria can be found in similar form in the "blood and soil" ideology of National
Socialism again. The concept of "race" is replaced in the identity-context by
indicating Liche "ethno-cultural identity." The theory of the "Great exchange"
also largely coincides with the statements of right-wing extremist "national
death" slogans, which claims

158
Right-wing Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

is that the German people displaced and as part of a conspiratorial elite project
by immigrant "national foreign" migrant ten will die out.

7.1.2 networking strategies

How the IB is positioning itself strategically and ideologically, showed in 2017


established training materials IB Swabia and the Summer University of the
French IB. Regarding the Swabian documents mainly targeted networking
strategies of IB are striking. So in the Zielsetzun- is gen required for the
Swabian local groups, with the party "Alternative for Germany" (AFD), the youth
organizations, fraternities, patriotic groups, the ini- ative "One percent" and
other groups to IB network. The French documents are from the Summer
University 2015 and include training on public relations, capitalized vismus,
rhetoric, dealing with authorities and metapolitics. Overall, it is evident that the
IB aims primarily on the public chen political and social discourse to influence.
She wants to "fight for the interpretation of the facts" to decide for themselves.

7.1.3 structures in Bavaria

The IBD is divided into Bavaria not to administrative districts, but according to
"People's borders." There are three groupings gen IB Bavaria, Schwaben IB
and IB francs.

a Turkish mosque in Regensburg and set up the Plot 30 wooden crosses on.
With the erection of wooden crosses and similar actions, the IB pretends to
remember victims of alleged Islamist terrorist attacks. However, it should
thereby be defamed Muslims and placed under general suspicion especially
people.

long since become an everyday problem.

On April 21, the IB Franken put at the entrance of Königstor- passage in

ask "and freedom of expression for the" national journalism ". It maintains links
with right-wing extremist organization functions as well as organization
independent right-wing publishing and distribution services. From the GPP

include, len for some time in particular environmental and

The special emphasis on "homeland security" aims inter alia be designed to


maintain a livable Germany only for their descent to the Germans, but not for

8. neo-Nazism AND fellowships

The neo-Nazism is a particularly inhuman manifestation of the right-wing. It


covers all the activities and aspirations, who openly profess the ideology of
National Socialism. The aim of the neo-Nazis is the abolition of the free
democratic basic order and the

167
Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018 Right-wing

Establishment of a set by the leader principle authoritarian or totalitarian state.


Neo-Nazis operate revisionist Vergan- genheitsverfälschung, by wanting to
change the historiography of the Third Reich and the Gewaltherr- economy
justify or trivialize the Nazi regime. "Modern" Neo-Nazis address current so-zial-
or socio-political issues and provide supposedly simple answers. In
demonstrations they attack tagespoli- tables topics and ask for example, the
"death penalty for child murderers" or "jobs first for German". Their theses
based neo-Nazis gumentationsmuster racist and anti-Semitic working.

Neo-Nazi activities unfold in Bavaria in the Par tei "The Third Way" as well as in
individual fellowships. However, the organizational form of neo-Nazi
camaraderie is declining. Thus, neo-Nazis include mostly together in informal
groups that do largely without fixed structures, or they act as individuals.
Maintaining contacts or networking via the Internet and social networks. In
Bavaria, around 680 people are assigned to the neo-Nazism.

9. Right-Wing Extremist YOUTH SCENE and


subcultures

In right-wing extremist youth scenes a dif- fuse worldview with elements that
are based on key characteristics of Nazism connects. To attract young activists,
the right-wing extremist scene has fashionable and ideologically open. The
formerly typical bald and Sprin- gerstiefel the skinheads are largely gone. Long
hair, piercings or baseball caps and even features from the "left" and extreme
left-wing spectrum were taken. A right-wing sentiment is thus externally only
difficult to detect. This should Ausei- n other move with you political opponents,
police checks or problems with parents, friends, school or work can be avoided.

Right-wing extremists also try their enemies and ideological technologies in


youth scenes and subcultures incorporated to make in order to gain followers
and help shape youth-related trends and styles. The persons affected by
ne-right collection style spectrum ranges from black metal, Hatecore and
neo-folk to hip-hop and techno. Individuals are also active in the right-oriented
hooligan scene. Partly Develop- ment from experience-oriented skinhead
groups and violent action groups with clear political objectives.

Based on appearance and structure of the rock scene

Subculture dominated right-wing extremists are approaching increasingly in


their appearance and their internal structures to the rocker scene. So they
choose, for example English- speaking ge group designations, wearing "robes"
(motorcycle jackets,

170
Right-wing Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

is sewn to the back part the group logo), maintain rocker-like initiation rituals for
new members and appoint internal hierarchical levels with English terms such
as "Presi- dent" or "Secretary".

One example is the appearance of the right-wing extremist group "Oldschool


Society" (OSS). Its structure was modeled on that of rocker groups. So was the
management level, inter alia, "President", "Vice-President", "Secretary" and
"Sergeant at Arms". Against the former members of the OSS was a criminal
case to the Higher Regional Court of Munich, among others held on charges of
forming a terrorist organization. The four defendants were convicted on 15
March 2017 at imprisonment be- tween three and five years. The judgment is
final.

Also by far the most members skinhead group in Bavaria, "Voice of Anger", has
individual similarities with rocker groupings. So for example, there with her a
recording method, called at. "Prospect" status of Rocker oriented. but it is
neither a structured cooperation nor an ideological rapprochement between
right-wing extremists and the "one-percenters" -Rockersze- ne locked in
Bavaria. Large parts of right-wing extremists reject Rocker clubs from because
of their comparatively high proportion of migrants. However, there are certain
points staffing overlaps between the rocker milieu and the right-wing extremist
scene dating back mostly to business interests or personal relationships.

Hammer Skins (HS)


The established in the USA 1988 "Hammer Skins" (HS) propaganda crave a
racist and Nazi partly global image and see themselves as elite of the
right-wing extremist skinheads. Global headlines came the HS, as the
40-year-old Wade Michael Page on August 5, 2012 in Oak Creek (Wiscon- sin)
shot down six people in a Sikh temple and then was killed himself by a police
officer. Wade Michael Page was a supporter of the US "Hammers- kin
Movement". Structure and admission procedure of the "hammer merskins"
similar to the Rocker Club "Hells Angels MC".

Thus, the HS are represented in many countries with "divisions". Throughout


Europe exist as regional subdivisions around 25 Chapman ter, whose activities
are largely based on the organization of right-wing extremist concerts and
events as well as the

171
Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018 Right-wing

limited self-organization of "Hammerskin Movement". The "Hammerskin


Division Germany" has around ten German chapter with a total of up to 100
skinheads darun- ter the Chapter Bavaria and the Chapter francs.

Voice of Anger (VoA)


The 2002 Greater Memmingen / Kempten overall founded
skinhead group "Voice of Anger" (VoA) is a nationally active
skinhead group-
pierung in Bavaria. The approximately 60 members and supporters belong to
several sections. The focus of its activities is the common recreational activity,
internal Veranstaltun- gen and celebrations, and the organization or the visit of
skinhead concerts. Members of VoA founded in 2010, the skinhead band
"Code-free" (Kempten).

On 14 July, the VoA carried out a disguised as a birthday celebration concert


featuring four bands and up to 150 participants. Originally, the event was
planned gen as a concert in the room Memmin-. The administrative community
Memmingerberg ER was a safety legal general decree that forbade all music
events are not displayed on that day. Then the VoA moved the event shortly
after Aichstetten (Baden-Württemberg). On the evening of November 3, the
annual Oktoberfest ( "Brown Oktoberfest") of the VoA in Krumbach was held
with about 50 participants.

On November 17, VoA organized mälern in numerous Kriegerdenk- in the


Allgäu a "Heroes Memorial".

Blood & Honor (B & H)


The neo-Nazi skinhead movement B & H is a derived originally
from England, intermediary
while internationally active, right-wing extremist network. Since its inception in
the late 1980s, it spread na- nalsozialistisches and racist ideas through the
encryption processing Collegial of skinhead concerts and sales among others,
extreme right-wing music scene and clothes. The organizational
onsbezeichnung "Blood and Honor" is the surface in the English languages
​translated motto, blood and honor 'that was used by the nationalso-
zialistischen youth organization "Hitler Youth".

In the 1990s, B & H presented the most important and most active international
organization within the skinhead scene. In Germany existed from 1994 a
separate "division". It was the late 1990s, one of the main organizers right-wing
extremist skinhead concerts, gave an identically

172

Empire citizens are sonen groups and Einzelper-, for different


reasons and with different reasons the existence of the Federal
Republic of Germany and its legal system the refuse. They
invoked inter alia the historic German Reich, conspiracy

outside the legal system. TRE to reach its objectives it th partly
aggressively against the courts and authorities of the Federal

Even managers are individuals who th assertion that they could


emerge Republic by a declaration from the federal and be so no
longer subject to its laws. The used for arguments are congruent
with those of the so-called Reich Citizenship essentially.

Even administrator for example, define their residential planning,


their house or their property as a sovereign territory. they mark
their land sometimes by a (border) line and show as "Staatswap-
pen" icons that you design yourself.

In parts of the Reich Citizenship and self-managers are


attributable expect the phenomenon range right-wing; especially
where set pieces of anti-Semitic and Nazi thinking be reflected

Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018 Reich citizenship and self-managers

The total Reich Citizenship ideology is likely to entangle people in


a closed verschwörungstheo- retisches worldview in which
disaffection from state government hatred can be. This can be
the basis for radicalization processes to the use of force.

The Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution


observed the Reich Citizenship and self-managers in Bavaria as
unsafe aspiration.

1. PERSONAL POTENTIAL

The security authorities in Bavaria have succeeded through continuous


investigative work to further illuminate the people potential structures and
regional priorities. By the end of the reporting period (as of 31.12.2018) were
about 4,200 person-before-duty notices of their belonging to the Reich
Citizenship scene. The number of supporters includes up to 400 people as a
"hard core" of energy in particular by numerable activities against state
institutions its ideologies expressed bringt.Bei most identified so far Reich
citizens and self-managers is currently no "organizational onsbezug"
recognizable.

The scene of the Reich Citizenship and self-managers in Bavaria is


characterized essentially male: About three quarters of identical fied persons
are male. The age structure of the imperial citizen and self-managers is
significantly different from that in other areas phenomenon. While there are
often dominated by Younger, Reich citizenship and self-managers are on
average living older. More than half of the people potential is 50 years or older.
The focus of the scene is around 70 percent in the age group of 40- to
69-year-olds, which dominates the group of people between 50 and 59 years,
with only 33 percent. People up to 29 years, however, are represented below
average (about 10 percent).

In Bavaria followers of the scene in the regions of Munich, Nuremberg, Ostallgäu, Scene priorities in Bavaria
Wurzburg and Schweinfurt are particularly active.

A clear allocation of so-called Reich citizens or even administrators to


right-wing extremist scene is far been provable only a few cases. The rejection
of the Staa- tes and its bodies is part of nearly all ideological extremist
phenomenon areas and established itself overall taken no affiliation with the far
right. The number of Reich citizens in Bavaria, which have become known in
right-wing extremist contexts, currently amounts to about 60 people.

Offenses of Reich citizens and self-managers are recorded separately since


2017th During the reporting period a total of 325 offenses were recorded,
including 89 violent crimes. The main focus of violent crimes were 78 acts of
extortion offenses. Furthermore, were recorded five injury. With 86 acts
Nötigungs- and threat presented offenses the focus of the other 236 crimes.

2. IDEOLOGY

2.1 Ideological similarities

Reich Citizenship invoke in unterschiedlichster form on the continued existence


of the German Reich. Here z. As the legal status in 1937, in 1914 called two
days before the outbreak of World War I or the 1,871th Reich Citizenship
Denial of the existence loading assert that Germany had no valid constitution and was DA nonexistent
of Germany with as a state, or the Basic Law have lost with reunification in 1990, its validity.
Therefore, Reich citizens are not obliged to comply with the public force in the
Federal laws result.

The evidence adduced by the Kingdom of citizens arguments against the


existence of Germany as a state are wrong. The Federal Constitutional Court
makes in its entire jurisdiction no doubt that the Basic Law of the Federal
Republic of Germany is the valid constitution of reunified Germany.

Among the alleged arguments of Reich citizenship, the District Court Duisburg
introduced in principle a decision already on
January 26, 2006 in summary states:

The Bonn Basic Law remains in force. A German constitution, a provisional


national government or a kommissarisches Supreme Court exists any more
than the earth is flat.

2.2 Scene internal ideological conflicts

While the supporters of the Reich Citizenship scene unites in principle Liche
rejection of the federal German state, ideologically and organizationally,
however, the movement is heterogeneous. In the scene there Wheeler,
conspiracy theorists, right-wing extremists, querulous and esoteric and various
ne groups that compete with each other and deliver per- sonal or ideological
conflicts. This often leads to spin-offs and start-ups in the Reich Citizenship
scene.

178
Reich citizenship and self-managers Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

Discussions within the scene can be found,. As in the central of the Reich
Citizenship question of whether Germany had a gül- term constitution. Here z.
resorted T. on argumentation, after which the Basic Law related only to the
legal entity or the staff of private law and trolls under con- Allied company "BRD
GmbH" was valid because it had been written by the Allies after the Second
World War. Other parts of the scene include an activity entirely and refer rather
to the continued validity of a "constitution", for example, from 1871 or 1913.
Working this is based inter alia, that the name "Basic Law" implies that there is
not by a constitution. Still others argue that the Basic Law with the accession of
the GDR ceased to operate and a new constitution was love ausgeb-. Such
views are common among tern Selbstverwal- who see their own person as a
state with legislative competence and its own constitution giving
"self-governing" territory for her.

The different positions are represented with the help of pseudo-legal


formulations and arguments, a consensus is not reached in most cases. These
different views that are often associated with refund claims Alleinvertre-, partly
lead to the splitting of of (actually existing or virtual) groups or establishing new
moieties which are each conference in competitors and are each located in
claim take the only legitimate (legal) to be followers of the "German Reich".

3. TYPICAL ACTIVITIES

Reich Citizenship develop towards state institutions a variety of activities such.


T. - such as applying for nationality identify - are an expression of their
ideology, but also to the targeted paralyze the public administration aimed. In
some cases there is the possibility to Gewaltandro- hung or application to
government representatives.

3.1 application for citizenship cards and use their own


documents

Reich citizenship and self-managers deny the legitimate existence of the


Federal Republic of Germany as a state and designated NEN these z. T. as
"company BRD". They believe that

179
Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018 Reich citizenship and self-managers

they can not nationals of the Federal Republic of Germany or "escape" from
this. In their view, their nationality determined by the Reich and Nationality Act
in force in 1913 version, according to which the citizenship of the Reich was
given to the German Empire, when a national of a country of the German
Empire was.

Based on the false assumption to be without nationality, without citizenship


certificate, they often apply (so-called. "Yellow ticket") a citizenship certificate
Applying for a "yellow for confirmation of their imperial and nationality gehörigkeitsgesetz after
note" nationals. The term "identity card" for them is a testament to the statelessness
because wür- referred to as "staff" only members of a company, in this case the
"Company BRD" the. The certificate of nationality, this per- hoped sonen circle -
legally completely incorrect - including the "phase-out of the company BRD".
The "yellow ticket" is also the "status" as a national of the allegedly continuing
"German Reich" looking regarded as demand.

As before, these assumptions are relevant parts of the scene. Increasingly,


however, controversial discussions about the "yellow light" develop, where He-
is terogenität the scene reflected. More and more citizens of the Reich argued
that it was merely a patent pier, which will be issued by the company
"BRD-GmbH" and their "Bedienste- th" and therefore develop the "yellow ticket"
no legal binding effect could. In individual cases, the view is overlooking the
supposed company "BRD GmbH" represented the documented "yellow ticket"
only a "commercial law" citizenship and thus lead to a kind of double-ter
nationality ( "Commercial Code" and "real" which will also be rejected).

Other Reich Citizenship turn represented a supposedly "na- turrechtliche"


consider and rely on her status as a "man" who - in contrast to the "legal
person", the const of the "FRG-GmbH" and their "bogus government" -'ll ruiert -
do not need a statement of nationality. therefore they propagate the "stateless".

The need to detect the German nationality with a certificate of nationality after
the nationality Act (Act), is only in exceptional cases, for. B.

180
Reich citizenship and self-managers Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

if the acquisition or loss of German nationality by personal events, such as


adoption or the acquisition of a foreign citizenship doubt entstan- the are.
Application positions with certain typical additives (z. B. respect to the RuStAG
with legal status 1913 and / or country of birth "UK Bayern") constitute at least
suspected of belonging to reichsbürgerbewegung.

Reich Citizenship also use instead of official identity cards fan tasiepapiere as
"rich people cards" or "Reichsfüh- rerscheine". In some cases they give for
official ID card documents at the registration office from. This fantasy papers Use of imagination
are worthless and sometimes criminally relevant. Your sale is an important papers
source of income of the Reich Citizenship groupings.

3.2 behavior towards justice and administration

Regularly draw Reich Citizenship authorities and courts with querulous letters
in which they speak of public administration and the judiciary their authority or
their existence off. ZT they are pursuing the goal, legal obligations such. B.
demands of the state from tax, administrative fines or administrative
proceedings to withdraw. In extensive letters z. As officials and judges
instructed and offended against them or ER- raised baseless claims for
damages to intimidate them and to influence actions of the judiciary or the
police or even prevent. By way of example a kingdom citizen couple from
Lower Franconia has to be mentioned in this context,

In the legal dispute of the activism of the Reich Citizenship and self-manager is
ambivalent: on one hand they schöp- fen the legal legal action from largely
exceeded and piling dishes with applications and petitions. They can
sometimes also by self-proclaimed scene- "lawyers", so-called right-consultants
(spelling varies), represented. On the other hand, they remain remote court
hearings, not participating in the ordinary procedure and try to just let penal
followed up and not be observed. Social media also make it possible to
mobilize within a short time Unterstüt- zer from the scene in order with the help
behördli- che acts such. B. evictions to block.

181
Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018 Reich citizenship and self-managers

3.3 Commercial activities called. "Milieu Manager"

Within the reichsbürgerbewegung there are individuals who want to make


money by taking advantage of ideology and offer comparable different products
and services. You verkau- fen z. As books and documents such as fantasy
"Reichsstaatsan- gehörigkeitsurkunden", organize seminars and training
courses or offer in individual cases also investments. These actors called
"military eumanager" carry through appropriate events for networking scene on
and distribute and solidify the extremist views of Reichsbür- like to, but are not
always even supporters of the ideology.

Among the "milieu managers" are also called. "Sulenten right-con-". They claim
in the field of "imperial law" to be well versed and provide "" legal advice ", z. T.
on the Internet at. They usually occur with letterheads that are modeled on
those of large law firms and internationalization should pretend formality. Your
interspersed with legal terminology writing are designed to suggest expertise,
but put on closer inspection to be completely nonsensical out.

In this context, there are two major finals cooperation that are nationally active:

In the "Bureau of the German Reich" is the association "Association of German


Nationally active law-consultants" (based in Kaarst-Vorst / Nordrhein-Westfalen). In addition,
organizations since the 1990s there is an "Association of German legal experts and legal
consultants in 1871" (based in Belém / Lower Saxony), the actuation its loading
"Kommissari- rule Reich government" is in the context of the extreme right.
From both groups, only individuals have occurred in Bavaria in the past.

3.4 Stammtische and seminars

In so-called Stammtisch meetings or seminars, attempts are, have the


audience of conspiracy theory thinking and to convince the supposed
illegitimacy of the Federal Republic of Germany. Also find individuals who for
various reasons are dissatisfied with the government Han spindles, in the Reich
Citizenship ideology supposedly simple explanations and solutions to their
problems.

182
Reich citizenship and self-managers Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

Recruitment pool for the Reich Citizenship scene is not least the esoteric
scene. Those zuwen- the esoteric to seek there a rule for life coaching vice and
support for the "self-discovery". Reich Citizenship suggest to them that they can
not find himself as a "man" as long as they are still part of the supposed "BRD
GmbH" and therefore only "staff" of a business enterprise. In order to get rid of
it, the "exit" from the Federal Republic of Germany was necessary.

3.5 National and international contacts

Persons and groups whose ideology is similar to that of the German Reich
Citizenship scene, it is also in Austria and Switzerland. In Austria, these groups
are called "Sovereign movements." The Republic of Austria is in their eyes as
well as the Federal Republic of Germany only a limited company and thus not a
legitimate Staatsgebil- de. The Reich Citizenship grouping "Official German
Heritage Association, German Heritage Association, Heimatbund of men" has
structures in Germany, including rich in Bavaria and in Austria and Switzerland.

In German-speaking persons, to the pseudo-legal basis of its Han-punching


one and standing together exchanging particular via the Internet in education
thus exists across borders. Even if it agreements between many groupings and
are actors competitive conditions, a national and cross-border support bar
CAPS LOCK, which particularly shows up when Reich citizens have to answer
in court. Again and again then supporters from other states in the audience
present.

Speakers and so-called. "Milieu Manager" of the Reich Citizenship scene act
beyond, regardless of residence, in German-speaking. The network is based
primarily on a personal characteristic ratios and / or cross-border spatial
proximity. A structured networking of overall scene is apparent at present and
in view of the existing conflicts within the scene unlikely.

4. CURRENT ACTIVITIES IN BAVARIA

sent 4.1 Fictitious Reich Citizenship Court "Global Common Law


Court" letter to Bavarian police headquarters

In July and August, a person sent under a pseudonym a letter to a number of


police stations in Bavaria, which addressed to the respective president or vice
president was Siert. On behalf of the "Global Common Law Court" (GCLC), a
fictitious court with Reich Citizenship respect, calls for the encryption
summarization on to cooperate with the GCLC. The recipients are encouraged
to "illegal activities of judges and prosecutors to stop and correct". This violated
several laws and principles. All employees and agents of the police, who
supported such a supposedly rechtswid- engined procedure of judges and
prosecutors, stuck for these acts. The author refers to it as "vicarious agents
and Mitt perpetrators of illegal acts".

Behind the GCLC is one as a "prolific writer" known imperial citizen who last
lived in Baden-Wuerttemberg and described himself as an investigator and
prosecutor of the GCLC. The GCLC it in this context is, as the highest court in
the world. The state courts he denies their legitimacy.

Registration in fictional In the letter to the police headquarters will continue to lead reasonable that all

Register Offenders and Offenders and Rapists" (German: Global public directory - offenders and
Rapists" insurance giant (GPORD)) are assumed.

In this so-called. GPORD directory over 18,000 individuals with first and last
names have been published so far. The people there are in particular
representatives of the judiciary and police from Germany and Switzerland.

4.2 activities, an official known Reich citizen in Lower


Franconia

An official known Lower Saxony Reich Citizenship has developed activities in


Bavaria in June. The Reich Citizenship applicable as a notorious troublemaker
describes himself as a "High Commissioner for Human Rights" and passes the
so-called. "Academy of Human Rights" in Stade (Niedersachsen).

A YouTube video of "MenschenrechtTV" According to, a kingdom citizen from


Lower Franconia turned to the self-proclaimed "High Commissioner for Human
Rights" and asked for support in sub-personal affairs. Then these and other
"Commissioners for Human Rights" authorities, covered denmitarbeiter the
local mayor and the local police station to-permanent with some aggressive
calls.

With a similar approach of "high commissioner" in recent years came in several


other states in appearance and employs besides administrative and police and
judicial authorities.

5. VIOLENCE POTENTIAL

The total Reich Citizenship ideology is likely to entangle people in a closed


conspiracy theoretical view of the world in which advertising from state
disenchantment State hate the can. This can be the basis for radicalization
processes. Various incidents show that also move violent people in the scene.
Violence directed rule against government measures or against representatives
of the state. Such acts of violence are interpreted within the scene usually as
self-defense against the state. Violent offenders out accordingly to relevant
incidents solidary-stabilizing encouragement. For individuals who appear
ideologically special strengthened idem, is an accumulation of politically
motivated crimes - especially libel and assault offenses,

Investigations at the arson of a motor vehicle in a yard. d Saale in October


2017 led to the track egg ner in court as a citizen of the Reich known person.
The Tatverdäch- term was arrested on 25 February. During the arrest, he led a

Executive measures against As part of a preliminary investigation against the grouping of "People's State of

6. REICH CITIZEN GROUPS IN BAVARIA

The reichsbürgerbewegung has developed a to-participating momentum in


recent years. The sometimes sectarian groupings are sometimes in competition

up new groups or "counter-imperial governments." At the regional level,
numerous small groups have formed that are far predominantly to be classified
as unsafe aspirations.

On September 25, the "Bavaria desstaat Federal" until then under the name of

restore the "People's State of Bavaria" with the so bezeichne- th 'end of the

The "People's State of Bavaria" still sees itself as a sovereign limbs or state in

In December 2015, the then "state of Bavaria" which has since according to its
own description "in reor- organization" founded. Build the organization,

police departments or Bavarian ministries. Recently, these activi- taking

Event announcements on the website of the "People's State of Bavaria"


declined or no longer observed.

Regularly, the grouping applies inter alia authorities on security and tried with a
variety of fax messages to give the recipient arrangements or interact with them
and convince them that they are bound by instructions from the "people's state

organization of the numerous "home communities" or similarly named group-.
Self-reported structures are made in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The
seat was moved by its own account in 2017 from Oberkulm (Switzerland) to
Traunstein / Bavaria. The group pro- duces different identification documents (
"home verification", identity card and driver's license), and has the motor
vehicle mark: hin "MENS CH (s)". This designation direct the members about
the natural right of the words "mens" (the spirit) and the diminutive "ch (s)" from.
The appropriation of the label is intended to indicate the group membership to
the outside world.

Parts of the following in Germany have already shown in the past with
government regulation a considerable violence. The nationwide structure
includes at its own representation in Bavaria diverse re- gional "home
communities", but the 2,018 deployed any more activities.

The group rejects the Federal Republic of Germany since as a state. In their
opinion, it is in many government organizations to limited liability companies,
which are registered in an international register of companies and therefore are
subject to the commercial law and not international law. The group sees itself
exclusively committed to the Bavarian laws before 1914 the legislation of the
Federal Republic of Germany ignored. Followers of the group fell in the past by
the use of non-official automotive mark and used exclusively self-issued identity
documents. The "home church Chiemgau" was the "official German

During the reporting period, no activities by members of the home community

The group rejects the existing structures of the Federal Republic of Germany
and speaks its right to exist from. So z. B. executed on the home page of the
group:

With the current situation in Germany, the whole of humanity is enslaved. 1990,
all people of the earth were deceived loading. The reunification of Germany and
the German Democratic Republic on 3 October

1990, legally never done. The Federal Republic of Germany today is a

There is no State Federal Republic of Germany (...).

The supporters of the "Constituent Assembly" plastically nen to convene at an


unspecified "Day X" temporary "Constituent Assembly" and thus create the
Constitution and laws as the basis of a new, supposedly (again) capable of
acting in Germany.

During the reporting period the group fell to Bavaria with few public actions. So
it happened in Munich in June to a Flugblattverteilaktion. In these leaflets, the
website of the group was advertised and called the addressees to implement
and participate in a "sunggebenden constitutional assembly." In November,
konn- th be found on the public notice board of a municipality in the district
Kelheim two leaflets of the group, was where also invited to participate in
"popular elections". An unknown person had downloaded the "official
announcement" apparently from the website of the "sunggebenden
constitutional assembly," and these are then printed attached to the church
board.

In addition to unsafe aspirations and groupings occur within the


reichsbürgerbewegung in appearance voltage that attributable to the
phenomenon range right-nen are, especially where set pieces to anti-Semitic
shear and Nazi thought patterns find. are assessed as right-wing extremist
groupings "government in exile Empire" and the DAR from breakaway
"government in exile Empire".

Thus, for trying. As the "government in exile Empire" to strengthen About


fremdungsängste and to stir up visions of doom. It announced an impending
world domination of "political Zionism" and said with regard to the refugee wave
that the "Holocaust against the German peoples ker" have now reached a new
level. This shows the racial and anti-Semitic ideology of the grouping.

The "Acting Reich Government" is ideologically assimilated to "governments in


exile". A "Chancellor" represents their ideological principles, its seat is in Krölpa
(Thuringia). It will also assigns the right-wing extremist spectrum conces-. In
2018, the above-mentioned groups in Bavaria were not pub-

About the grouping "Pegida Munich - The original" are sufficiently weighty

3. IDEOLOGICAL ROOTS OF EXTREMISM LINKS

Ideologically grab the two main currents of Linksextremis- mus, communism


and anarchism, mainly due to the French economist and sociologist
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865) back. Proudhon put in the context of
exploitation of labor during the industrial revolu- on 1840 in his work of the
same question: "What's equity growth?". His answer to the question is world
famous today: "Property is theft." Proudhon's goal was a Domination free,
decentralized society in which everyone just sits loading what he has made
through its own or a collective work or acquired by exchange , The teachings of
Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin, the thought leaders of Marxism or anarchism
were significantly influenced by the ideas of Proudhon.

Marxism
The teachings of Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) are
the ideological basis for the thinking and actions of most left-wing extremists.
The entire political, spiritual and cultural life of a society is thus determined by
the economic structures and relationships. The Marxist doctrine is both
scientific theory and practical political action guide for the revolution.

According to her, the human history takes place in statutory moderate stages of
development. The ultimate goal of historical development, the Communist
classless society, the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system-tems
precedes. In capitalism, the exploiting class of bourgeois capitalists are - the
owners tion convey to the production - and the exploited class of workers

- . The so-called proletarians - against. The created by the working class value
of a product produced goes to the Marxist doctrine in the possession of the
capitalist over, leading to wage pressure, impoverishment and finally
impoverishment of the proletariat. The consequences are class struggles, the
volution in a re- and eventually lead to the dictatorship of the proletariat with the
ultimate goal of a communist society.

The human image of Marxism is fundamentally different from the liberal


democracies. The focus is not the individual with his rights guaranteed, but
terklasse which operate. On this view, it is permissible basic and

219
Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018 leftism

to relativize human rights in favor of the socialist collective and a communist


objectives or to override all.

Marxism-Leninism
Marxism-Leninism was the official ideology of the former Soviet Union. It is
based on the teachings of Marx and Engels (Marxism) that of Vladimir I. Lenin
(1870-1924) have been developed for state doctrine of the Soviet Union and for
the propaganda lusted him international class struggle. Even after
Marxist-Leninist conception of capital must be fought talismus. The highest
stage of capitalistic mus saw Lenin in the so-called. Imperialism. Accordingly,
the Ka trachte talism exploitative way then to expand its power and influence to
other countries, which leads in heat forced into wars. Capitalism must therefore
follow a new society: socialism. Socialism saw Lenin again as a precursor of
communism. Marxism-le ninismus inevitably leads to a revolutionary change.

However, the working class does not have to Lenin about the necessary
political and revolutionary consciousness. This must by a cadre party of
professional revolutionaries (Avantgardean- the Communist Party demanding)
will be taught. no differing opinions on party decisions by factions or currents
within the party in this party are in accordance with the principle of "democratic
centralism" allowed.

For Marxist-Leninist cadre parties like the "German Communist Party" (DKP)
plays Marxism-Leninis- mus a large, open for extremist structures within the
party "The Left." At least a formative role.

Stalinism
Stalinism is Josef W. Stalin (1878-1953) theoretical further development of
Marxism-Leninism to diktatorisch- bureaucratic system of government of the
Soviet Union. Contrary to the Marxist belief that the victory of the proletariat
over the bourgeoisie ( "bourgeoisie") a joint revolution tion of the proletarians of
all countries is necessary, Stalin assumed that socialism under the leadership
of the Soviet Union exemplary must be implemented there first. By operated by
Stalin assembly and modification of the Soviet Union into a socialist society
"stalinis--Nazi purges" were legitimized among other things, where millions of
people have fallen victim.

leftism Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

In Germany, called "Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany" (MLPD) and the "Labor


Union for the Reconstruction of the Communist Party" (AB) on the ideas of
Stalin.

Trotskyism
The on Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) declining model of socialism is not a
self-contained stand-alone doctrine, but a variant of Marxism-Leninism. She
stood corresponds mainly from the opposition of Trotsky to Stalin. Essential
Liche elements are the theory of "permanent revolution", the belief in the world
revolution (in contrast to Stalin's "solar Socialism in one country"), the objective
of establishing a "dictatorship of the proletariat" in the form of council
democracy and the Festhal - th at the "proletarian internationalism."

The characteristic strategy of Trotskyist organizations is the entry work, that is,
they are trying to target functions in other organizations to penetrate and
influence political decisions. Thus, their own ideology is spread over the
infiltrated organization.

Maoism
Under the guidance of Mao (1893-1976) was preted in Chi na after the
communist victory 1949 Marxism- Leni- mechanism in a direction deviating
from Soviet Russia manner inter- and further developed as communist
ideology. Maoism in China sees the rural population and not urban workers as
bearers of political upheaval.

The world revolution should be raised in a third world country by a peasant


guerrilla war partisans. In a series of political campaigns ( "Cultural Revolution")
tried to Mao Tse-tung to educate the Chinese society to the revolutionary goals
of the party. The ideological terror and the DA with affiliated "purges"
demanded millions of deaths.

The ideas of Mao served as a model for large parts of the 1968 movement,
especially in Western Europe of the resulting "New Left" (so-called. K-groups).

domination and bruised.

One of the most famous thinkers of anarchism is Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876),


a Russian revolutionized nary and anarchist who lived in Western Europe and
worked from there around the world. Bakunin strove for a power-free,
decentralized society. To implement its Ide ale he sat on violent revolutions.

From the ideas of Bakunin in the late 19th centuries changed the so-called.
"Anarcho-syndicalism", a system in which overall the labor unions independent
of the state or national-industrial manage locally developed. With the start of
World War II, the communist revolution in Russia, the rise of fascism in Italy
and during the Second World War, anarchism became less important. An
interim relative prosperity he experienced as part of the "68" -Studenten-
movement that relied in its call for total freedom on anarchism. Currently, only a
few small anarchist organizations exist in Bavaria as the "anarchist specific
group Munich" or "Looking".

4. Left-Wing Extremist TOPICS

To impose their political and social ideas through, to left-wing extremists


involved in various political and social topics. In Linksex- wing extremism
anti-fascist activities are in the foreground. In addition to the fight against
right-left-wing extremists also use other social controversial issues to find new
followers within bourgeois-democratic protest movements. They often resort to
social issues and interpret them for the purposes of their own linksextre-
extremist understanding.

222
leftism Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

Typical fields of action of the left-wing extremists are:

- Anti-fascism and anti-racism


- antirepression
- Antigentrifizierung
- anti-capitalism
- Antimilitarismus
- anti-imperialism
- antiglobalization
- Anti-nuclear

The most important were in 2018 anti-fascism / Antirassis- mus,


anti-repression, Antigentrifizierung, anti-capitalism and anti-militarism.

Anti-fascism and anti-racism


Left-wing extremists use the broad social consensus against right for their
political goals that go far beyond the fight against right hinaus-. Anti-fascism in
the extreme left-wing sense also includes the rejection of parliamentary Rejection of
democracy. parliamentary
democracy

Originally, the term anti-fascism was referring to the domestic neritalienische


opposition to the rule of Mussolini. The roots of the German anti-fascism are in
opposition to the dictatorship of the Third Reich. In addition to the
bourgeois-liberal dominated Anti Fascism, the manufacture for the preservation
and How-entered democracy and the rule of law, developed a
communist-oriented than linksextre- timistic einzustufender anti-fascism. The
linksextremisti- specific anti-fascism evaluates all non-Marxist systems as
potentially fascist or as a precursor to fascism. So left-wing extremists see the
actual cause of Fa-fascism, racism and right in a bürgerli- chen social order that
is based on capitalism, Parlamentaris- mechanism and rule of law principles.
The Antiracism which forms in particular in connection with the asylum, an
extreme left agitation center of gravity, is in connection with the un- indirect
Antifaschismus and the anticapitalism. see left-wing extremists

Violence-oriented left-wing extremist Autonomous use the on tifaschismus for

Autonomous also look to close ranks with democratic alliances and initiatives.

Left-wing extremist parties and organizations seek a specific influence on the


acquisition of management and control functions in the anti-fascist initiatives.
The fight against Hitler and the persecution of Communists at the time of
German Nazism serve from the communist movement caused organizations to
legitimize its claim to leadership in the anti-fascist spectrum.

Anti-fascism is not generally left-wing extremism. It is much more important


what the respective anti-fascists appreciate when thinking about "fascism" and
the claims which arise from their self-image as "anti-fascists". The central
question here is: the rejection of Judge only against right-wing, or directed the
rejection of the norms and rules of a democratic constitutional state?

Left-wing extremist anti-fascists sent on 17 September via an e-mail to more

antirepression
With the concept of "repression" try Autonomous all forms constitutional actions

state monitoring and enforcement linksextremisti- shear actions. So
Autonomous police action against left-wing extremist violent offenders reject

The anarchist-left extremist hands-on campaign "Fahr'Scheinfrei" in Munich


directed against the Gentrifizie- tion in the major cities. The authors criticize the
example of Munich increasing cost of public transport. People who could not
afford a ticket more would thereby be excluded from public life and forced out of
the metropolitan regions. On the night of May 4 destroyed by unknown people
at a subway station in Munich several ticket machines MVG chen with
construction foam. The damage thus resulting amounts to tens of thousands of
euros.

anti-capitalism
Links Extremist anti-capitalism will call loading in contrast to the critique of
capitalism not only deficits in the economic system and develop reform
proposals, but roll with the economic system and the state and society
completely environmentally. "Capitalism" and "capitalist systems" left extremist
opinion, the main causes of fascism, right-wing, imperialism and war. For
left-wing extremists thus represents "capitalism" is not just a mere economic
order is, rather, it is equated with the totality of state and social structures in a
parliamentary democracy. Whether anarchist or municipal ministic:

the rejection of the state of Israel and its domestic and foreign policy - from their
Links Extremist anti-imperialist world view often an anti-Zionism develops in left-wing

Linksext- remisten handling of Israel with the Palestinians, which is often
compared them with the behavior of the Nazis in the Third Reich. In their

exclusively against the corporations, but also against the German rule state that
would not only approve the clearing of capitalist reasons but even supported by
the use of police force against the demonstrators. During the Räu- tion of tree

Antimilitarismus
Anti-militarism has won in the left-wing extremist scene in particular by
increased foreign missions of the Bundeswehr in importance. After militarism

Formative events of the left-wing extremist activities on anti-militarism were

5. INTERNET AND MUSIC

5.1 Left-wing extremist propaganda on the Internet

For left-wing extremists, the possibilities of the Internet and especially the use
of social media such as Facebook, and in TagRAM or Twitter central to their
agitation are. there they operate campaigning, networking and dis- cuss key
issues in open and closed forums or blogs.

"Bottom left. Until its ban in 2017, the Internet platform was "left. Indymedia "the most
Indymedia" ban important medium of violent linksext- draw Nazi scene. For years, the portal
provided a platform for the presentation and propagation of extremist left,
constitutional hostile content. By offering an encrypted and anonymous
communication path, it was possible for users to publish posts with criminal
content on the platform, without fear of prosecution. Since the shutdown of the
page linksextremisti- specific scene is resorting to other platforms.

The use of encryption software basically makes it difficult to trace to the author.
Many websites will also run on anonymous foreign servers. Since these are
difficult to detect and are not subject to German law, crime can not or only
under certain conditions, be tracked. To determine the authorship, German
authorities are dependent on cooperation with the competent foreign
authorities.

Promotional create left-wing extremists also mobilizing approximately videos

actions show at demonstrations or fitting graffiti. The videos are stored with
scenario-netypischer music and will be published on video platforms like

young people, to politicize and encourage visitors to join. To promote DIE ses

Mostly they complement the outings with actions in the work or home
environment of the person concerned to isolate these socially or scene typical
actions like graffiti or property damage due to perform in those affected. partly
police officers of this phenomenon are affected.

Especially instant messaging services like WhatsApp or Te legram allow


left-wing extremists to inform as soon as possible to mobilize and coordinate
actions. So left-wing extremists hold demonstrations with mobile terminal
devices with each contact and are partly controlled by specially appointed
"moderators". About animated land cards services the own demonstration route
and possibly also the political opponents remains available.

subdivisions try to take on the party "The Left." Influence.

In Bavaria, the following structures are present and active:

6.1.1 Anticapitalist Left (AKL)

On November 9, 2013, the AKL gave in their official arrival recognition by the
party "The Left." A new "basis text for political self-understanding." This reflects
the AKL objected to a "governmental and parliament fixed, pragmatism 'in the
Left" and sets the "one antikapitalis- schematic program with a socialist
objective" counter.

The AKL believes that even

autonomous and self organisier th structures a po- litische opposition force can
grow (...) and must program for the production and Party of the Left could then
be a home.

The merger provides for the possibility of the integration of autonomous or


violence-oriented people in the party. The AKL advocates a "new socialist
internationalization nalismus" and solidarity with the Cuban regime.

The AKL Bayern is active with a Facebook page. There they called for
participation in the event "100 Years of November revolution - revolution

exploitation and oppression. " Violent acts they understand as an act of
individual self-liberation from the power structures. These include arson,
sabotage, squatting and militant actions during demonstrations. Autonomous
Versu chen, to mobilize democratic protest movements in their struggle against
the state.

Post Autonomous
In the autonomous scene an organizational and militancy debate is for some
time. Since the early 1990s, the internal criticism grew, the autonomous
movement was too unor- ganisiert to bring about a lasting political change.
Central to the debate is the question as a broader social acceptance for their
own autonomous positions can be achieved.

As a result, post-autonomous groups and networks are more so-called. Arisen,


seeking to break the social isolation of the Autonomous. In the scene interventionist left
particularly influential the 'Interventionist Left' acts (IL). It was the first time in
1999 during the protests against the EU Council and the World Economic
Summit in Cologne active and founded in 2005 as an informal nationwide
operating network. The IL pursues the strategic approach of a
spektrenübergreifen- the mobilization under her leadership. Here, they tried all
left-wing extremist tendencies - to integrate - to militant autonomy men.

243

Post Autonomous try to form a hinge between gewaltberei- th left-wing


extremists and moderates. The prefix "post" is the questioning of some
fundamental gender characteristics, but not for a complete break with the
violence-oriented autonomous policy approach. To stuffs to vermit- between
extreme left-wing and democratic actors, the Post autosomes of the concept of
"civil disobedience" use. Superficially viewed Post Autonomous not take part in
violent riots, but she did not distance itself clearly from the use of force to
enforcement policy objectives. Agreements on the permissible forms of protest
are often pure formula compromises leave the interpretation broad space.

Post Autonomous engage z. B. tives in tenant and Stadtteilini-, called in aid to


refugees in the anti-fascist groupings and in the anti-globalization movement.
As part of this alliance is increasing focus on teaching theoretical mar-
xistischer content to the outside. The "anti-capitalism" forms an ideological
focus of the IL.

anarchists
Anarchism is a collective term for political up-holders and efforts aimed at the
abolition of all domination of man over man. Allen anar- chistischen currents is
the requirement common to want to abolish the state as government institution
- and independent of a democratic or dictatorial orientation. Often such a view
involves a fundamental Antiinstitutionalismus. see anarchists bureaucracies
churches chen, political parties, parliaments and associations as institutions,
which would hold a voluntary group of emancipated and mature person.
Anarchists reject Hi- erarchien and subordination on principle. Therefore, they
can also be poorly organized itself in the rule and form only loosely structured
groups. Instead, anarchists prefer "Spontis" spontaneous actions of smaller
groups or individuals which may consist of strikes, occupations, but also of
targeted attacks on political opponents. Violence as a means of revolution is a
much discussed topic in anarchism, but is accepted by the majority of activists
at least as a legitimate means.

leftism Verfassungsschutzbericht Bayern 2018

How can "look after" the revolution a society that is highly controversial in the
anarchist scene. The anarchist ideal state, a society based on self-government
and free agreements, but ultimately leads inevitably to a system of tyranny and
despotism in which the strong will prevail against the weak and rises finally over
this.

also committed to communism:

(...) We are in the tradition of the fighting workers' class worldwide.


Consequently, we are therefore one for a proleta- generic internationalism. (...)
We reject the capitalist world economic system decisively in all its forms. We
see in this the causality of the current oppression, displacement, alienation,
exploitation, impoverishment, Endmündigung and worldwide permanent state of
war. (...) This must be recognized and overcome. (...)

(Error from the original inherited)

The SRA rejects all structures and the rule of man over man and thus
represents anarchist ideas:

(...) radical thinking is, hen to overall to the bottom of the causes, which is why
we reject vertical and hierarchical structures. (...)

The SRA advocates overcoming the existing society relationships through


revolution. To achieve its objectives, the group does not distanced itself from
the use of force.
