GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

peace and anti-nuclear movements, as their protest is not directed<br />

against the violated penal laws which punish trespassing, breaching<br />

public peace, and coercion. This is quite in contrast to revisionism: Here<br />

the resistance is solely directed against the violated and rejected law,<br />

because it is not accepted due to its violation of human and civil rights.<br />

Hence, in case of the peace and anti-nuclear movements we are dealing<br />

with an example of applying the “small right to resist,” which is<br />

generally considered illegitimate or illegal, at least within a democracy<br />

under the rule of law. In case of revisionism or in my case, the disobedience<br />

or resistance is directed against an unconstitutional law, and this<br />

simply by ignoring and deliberately violating this and exclusively this<br />

law. This is an entirely different dimension of disobedience than that of<br />

the peace and anti-nuclear movements, as it is exactly directly against a<br />

law which – to paraphrase High Court judge Helmut Simon – abolishes<br />

that which is beyond voting, namely freedom of opinion and of science<br />

and research. This is also a protest against the stealthy erosion of the<br />

liberal and lawful character of the Federal Republic of Germany, which<br />

has been in progress for decades. It is an example of the “grand right to<br />

resist,” as laid down in article 20, paragraph 4, of the German Basic<br />

Law, which I invoke here with my full consciousness:<br />

“All Germans have the right to resist against everyone who endeavors<br />

to remove this order, if no other remedy is possible.”<br />

By so doing I am well aware that the Federal Republic of Germany<br />

has not yet transmogrified into an “evident regime of injustice,” because<br />

in most societal areas the state under the rule of law functions appropriately.<br />

But as stated repeatedly and reinforced with quotations from<br />

competent authors, it is the citizen’s – i.e. my – duty to fight the beginnings,<br />

as this is always more promising and also possible with less sacrifices<br />

as compared to a situation where the state later on has mutated<br />

into a totalitarian system of injustice.<br />
