Leftist terror violence doesn’t fit the narrative for today’s elites.
- courgette 4y agoOh I remember when terrorist were white and either super Christian, or at least raise Christian. IRA of course, but also ETA or the Brigatte rosse in France, Spain and Italy. What does not fit the narrative ? I see that narrative popping back in French news today with protests against specific water collection stategies ( not the retirement stuff, other protests ) being labeled as “eco-terrorism”. It looks that any resistance to the capitalism model of land & resource management will be labeled that way going forward ( in France. in the US I’m waiting to see what happen with cop city near Atlanta. As of now nobody heard of it )
- ls612 4y agoIn the US the bombings and domestic terrorism and assassinations in the late 60s and 70s were generally done by left wing groups like SDS, weather underground, etc. I’m not as familiar with what happened in Europe around that time beyond the IRA.
- courgette 4y agoLeftist groups. Mostly. Leaning toward communism like the Red Brigades I mentioned. Their motto was bombing stuff, and kidnap/kill politicians. A famous group was “the Bader band” for instance. Acting between Italy, France, and Germany. Then, they were the independentist group like ETA ( basque people ) and FLN ( Corsica ) Same modus operandis, but geared toward having France and Spain out of their places. Thanks for the name, I will look those group up. No right wing group in the US ? We had some in France. For instance in 62 the “quarteron Francais” try to top De Gaule after he decided to let go of Algeria.
