"At the centre of this odious system are profit and the power to secure<br />

profit. Everything else is of secondary importance. For the preservation<br />

and enforcement of this system, use is made of whatever means are<br />

available."<br />

("Angehörigen Info", no. 225 of 4 October 1999)<br />

The Court considered it a proven fact that FALK and STEINAU, as members<br />

of the AIZ ("Anti-Imperialist Cell"), were responsible for four explosive attacks<br />

made in 1995 on the homes of politicians; as established by the<br />

Court, another attack had been imminent. In committing these crimes, the<br />

two convicted persons had acted with contingent intent to kill; it had been<br />

due only to fortunate circumstances that nobody had been seriously injured<br />

or killed.<br />

The grouping which later called itself AIZ had made its first appearance with<br />

a position paper; until the end of 1995, the group had committed nine arson,<br />

firearms and bombing attacks; it produced 17 letters claiming responsibility,<br />

and position papers comprising up to 24 pages.<br />

Definition of "struggle for peace" (Kleines Politisches Wörterbuch, 1989 ed.,<br />

pp. 285 seqs.)<br />

"The struggle for safeguarding peace is directed primarily against the<br />

most aggressive and militaristic forces of imperialism."<br />

"According to Marxism-Leninism, the issue of war and peace derives<br />

from class struggle, and wars ultimately have their roots in private ownership<br />

of means of production, in the class antagonism of sweater society,<br />

in the aggressive nature of imperialism. Under the conditions prevailing<br />

nowadays, safeguarding of peace must, above all, be accomplished<br />

in the hard fight against the most aggressive militaristic forces of<br />

imperialism."<br />

According to these concepts, the "struggle for peace" is not confined to<br />

pacifist efforts, but rather must "force peace" upon imperialism alleged to be<br />

inherently aggressive (pseudonym for Western constitutional States with<br />

free-market economies). This can be accomplished by political or directly<br />

military measures by waging a "just war"; as seen by Marxism-Leninism,<br />

peace was the more stable, the more heavily armed Socialism was.<br />

Invitation dated 18 May 1999 "to an extraordinary nation-wide consultation<br />

on peace policies".<br />
