(Translated from MSZ 6-1988) The rebels of the sixties have given up without having achieved anything. They didn’t reach their small or big goals. Everything against which they directed their oppositional efforts continues briskly. Occasions for being “radicalized” and for attacking the “system” are demonstrated on a daily basis by those in charge. In 1988, the Federal Republic of Germany brazenly presents itself as an assortment of material for criticizing capitalism the way Karl Marx once advocated. And what are the veterans of the protest movement doing, especially those who snagged a bit of celebrity? With untroubled vanity, they are making themselves available to the media and spinning their anniversary lies; following the disgusting model of “celebrating the commendable consequences and lasting achievements” of the movement, they collaborate with their former enemies in eliciting always the same message from their rear view mirror.
