The 'Red Army Faction' (RAF), also known as the Baader-Meinhof Group, was a West German far-left militant organization. It operated from the 1970s to 1998, using violence to oppose capitalism and American imperialism. They carried out bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings. The group aimed to provoke a revolution. Unlike traditional political parties, they believed in direct action. Their actions were controversial and widely condemned. ⚠️ The RAF eventually disbanded, but their legacy remains a subject of debate.
