       "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.]
