GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

volts, or other acts of violence or arbitrariness, or at least the approval<br />

of such acts. 156<br />

The dangerous arbitrariness of the terms used against dissidents by<br />

German courts of law has also been emphasized by Dr. Thomas Wandres<br />

in his dissertation The Punishability of Auschwitz-Lying, which has<br />

even been quoted by the German Federal Supreme Court as a source of<br />

law – although only such passages permitting a conviction. 157<br />

Wandres opines by the way that the books authored and published<br />

by me have to enjoy the protection of the freedom of science as guaranteed<br />

by the German Basic Law. Florian Körber came to a similar result<br />

in his 2003 dissertation Rightwing-Radical Propaganda on the Internet<br />

– the Töben case. 158 I like to quote several theses from this PhD dissertation:<br />

“7th Thesis<br />

Due to being undefined, ‘public peace’ as an element of the offence<br />

is unsuited to constrain article 130, paragraph 1, III of the<br />

German Penal Code, the more so as merely the capability to endanger<br />

the public peace is a prerequisite for the offense. […]<br />

15th Thesis<br />

The offense of incitement of the masses is not absolutely necessary,<br />

as offenses like incitement, psychological abetment, or public<br />

instigation to commit offenses sufficiently regulate this complex of<br />

problems.<br />

16th Thesis<br />

The offense of incitement of the masses not only restricts political<br />

discussions in a risky way, but also the discussion about its legitimacy.<br />

156 Recently I’ve actually come to realize that the concept of “public peace” as such is the real<br />

enemy of free speech. The only rule needed for governing free speech is: Anything should be<br />

legitimate unless it advocates, condones or justifies the violation of the civil rights of others.<br />

That would automatically include all acts that really do threaten public peace, like calls for revolution,<br />

insurrection, putsch, riots, pogroms, ethnic cleansings, etc., as long as calls for the violation<br />

of others’ human rights are included. That is to say that no one should even be punished<br />

for advocating a peaceful revolution or secession, since I think everybody has the right to call<br />

for them. 9 Nov. 2010.<br />
