I found some words from "?jevind L?ng" <ojevind.lang@swipnet.se>in my phone cable...
?jevind L?ngDifficult question. I'm no historian like Pradera, but I suppose they had real thoughts about poverty and oppression first. But after the failure of the '68 movement, when the radicalism of these years crumbled, they felt increasingly "alone against the whole world". So they developed a bad paranoia, some degree of madness and a growing readiness for murders. The latter ones cost them the rest of their support among leftists, enhancing their loneliness. Guess you aren't wrong calling it self-intoxication.
The Baader-Meinhof gang claimed to act against poverty and oppression, but how much was that really the case, and how much were they just middle-class kids who had intoxicated themselves on political extremism?
Talking of ideiology run amuck - in Sweden, we have the Animal Liberation Front - teenagers who do incredibly stupid things like setting fire to meat trucks or releasing minks from mink farms.<sarcasm>Be careful, or some Dutch will sue you for illegally exporting these weirdos... </sarcasm>
