"We are an autonomous
group that is not pleased with this world and the politics on it. We cannot
and we do not want to close our eyes and just ignore all the injustice
and destruction that is going on in this earth that we have to witness
day after day.
...
It is difficult to describe us. We are between the Flower Power Hippies
and the Red Army Fraction; between Mahatma Gandhi
and Che Guevara; between Greenpeace and the Animal Liberation Front; between
peace groups and the Anonymous Antifascists; between The Doors and Rage
Against The Machine; between Bob Marley and Rio Reiser. We are nothing
from this all, but from everything a bit.
...
We are just what we are and that is difficult to describe. We are not
an homogeneous coordinated mass, we are individuals. Some have different
views about the German army, vegetarianism, drugs and capitalism, but
what us connects is the main view that we do not like the world like it
is now and thus want to change it.
...
We set great store in non-violence, because for us it is illogical to
create a pacifist society with violence. With all we do, we always watch
out that we do not hurt anybody and especially innocent people."
[However, some people have different views about "violence",
but this you can look up in our argument section.]
