Reading Scherben and the RAF, Kai Sichtermann, Jens Johler
EIs there a right to violent resistance?
Reading from “Keine Macht für Niemand” (No Power for Nobody) and other books by Kai Sichtermann and Jens Johler.
The Scherben hit “Macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht” (Destroy what destroys you) was not only a precursor to punk music, but above all a song that incited violence. Die Scherben had contacts with the RAF and the June 2nd Movement, supporting their violent actions in their early days and recruiting helpers for “activists” and “political prisoners.” Kai Sichtermann and Jens Johler can report on this from their own experience—and also on whether and how they reflected on their support for violence, and how they feel about it in retrospect. The problem of law-breaking violence is not only a historical one, but still highly topical, e.g., in the case of the attack by left-wing extremists on two electricity pylons in Berlin.
Speakers: Kai Sichtermann and Jens Johler both come from the so-called 1968 movement. Kai was the bassist for Ton Steine Scherben from the beginning, while Jens Johler wrote the 1968 novel Der Falsche (The Wrong One) and, together with Kai, Keine Macht für Niemand (No Power for Nobody) – the story of Ton Steine Scherben – as well as Vage Sehnsucht – Der Bassist von Ton Steine Scherben erzählt sein Leben (Vague Longing – The Bassist of Ton Steine Scherben Tells His Life Story).
