The BBC documentary on the German terror group the Red Army Faction, also known as the Baader-Meinhof group.

Objectives:
To protest what they perceived as fascist-leaning and otherwise oppressive , middle class, bourgeois values of West Germany. This general orientation was coupled with specific protests of the Vietnam War. The group pledged allegiance to communist ideals, and opposed the capitalist status quo. The group explained its intentions in the RAF's first communique on June 5, 1970, and in subsequent communiques in the early 1970s.

According to scholar Karen Bauer:
The group declared that ... its aim was to escalate the conflict between the state and its opposition, between those who exploited the Third World and those who did not profit from Persian oil, Bolivian bananas and South African gold. ... 'Let the class struggle unfold! Let the proletariat organize! Let the armed resistance begin!'(Introduction, Everybody Talks about the Weather...We Don't, 2008.)
