We have seen many acts of revolutions and rebellion in our history, but one that really stands out is the student movement of the 1960's. This was a rebellion unlike anything we had ever seen before, and it was also a very costly rebellion that took the lives of many.
One of the biggest revolutionary groups in the European context was the Baader-Menihof Gang, or commonly referred to as the Red Army Faction. They were primarily students who garnered their extreme leftist views during the counter culture of the 1960s.
The Red army Faction were anti-bourgeoisie and anti-capitalist. This group did not care about the best French mortgages , they were more concerned with trying to end the reign of diplomatic democracy.
They were not the only rebellious group during that time period, there were many students in the western United States who were also considered as radicals. These students were primarily vested in Berkley University in California.
If history has taught us anything, it is that trying to meet these revolutionists head on can be a very deadly ordeal. Radicals and revolutionists are almost impossible to negotiate with because giving them anything will make your government look weak. This was a lesson that was learned the hard way by the Front de Liberation du Quebec, who executed a captive because the Canadian government would not negotiate with them.
