I can't find any English information so far, but they are a Maoist group in the underground of Berlin. We all know Maoists can be batshit crazy but this group is a beacon of hope amidst a sea of the usual German socialist scene (anti-deutsche pro-zionist SJW anarkiddy smashie types LARPing as socialists).
They are Maoists, call for fighting against Zionists, tourists and Nazis, physically fight against Nazis and Zionists, are anti-gentrification, promote bodybuilding and learning hand-to-hand combat, intimidated a feminist leftist group during the May Day marches, have beef with Antifa, support the BDS movement, consist mostly of males with working class background, many of them are 2nd or 3rd generation migrants from Eastern Europe, the Balkans or the Middle East. They support movements like the Maoists in Peru or India and so on.
Their leader seems to be some underground rapper, he has a tattoo of an AK47 on his right biceps, does Muay Thai and works in a kindergarten.
The police were puzzled as to which group they had standing before them. I've heard a newscast where they said "Leftists aren't this muscular usually, so we thought they were football hooligans" lmao
Their name is "Jugendwiderstand". It's still a bit hard to find reliable information on them and as far as I'm aware there aren't any English sources.
Let's hope movements like these spread throughout Europe.
Heres something from them that i found on their website:
This is why we are adding the slogan "People's War for Socialism!" This year - not because we do not think that elements of the people's war are necessary in the all-encompassing dictatorship of the proletariat and in the Cultural Revolutions on the way to our ultimate goal, communism, but to make clear that even in imperialist countries our military theory - the people's war - is the way of the proletarian revolution; the way to fulfill the legacy of Luxembourg, Liebknecht, and Lenin, break the power of the bourgeoisie, and establish the New Power of the proletariat and the people. The Revisionists and Trotskyists of all stripes can wail as much as they want: The legacy of the red October is not a long-lasting legalism and waiting for the day x after an ideal situation that never existed and, above all, never repeats, but the devoted and sacrificial struggle for the initiation and development of the people's war in every country!
Germany is not latin america. This was the same reason why the RAF was a failure. You can't simply copy a tactic 1:1, while ignoring country specific circumstances.

Cult like lifestylism is in fact not the path to the worker's heart.

Right because Peru is a Maoist socialist state. Oh wait…

Why are Krauts so autistic
Germany trough history has been "what if there was a country where everyone is machiavelli and had aspergers", since the romans
Wrecking the MRTA and killing APRA guys wasn't the fall of the Shining Path, it was one guy trying to meet Guzman who wasn't careful about being followed that led to El Presidente's capture. That and lack of organizing among their sympathizers in Lima's slums.

I like how some people outside of Germany will now think the JW has any significance beyond scene drama whatsoever

You wanna know something funny? The German police was confused about them and labeled them as Nazis because they are, as they literally said, "too muscular to be left-wing".
Wyatt Brooks
lmao I just looked at German reddit about this shit. They are crying because JW beats up "hipsters" and has declared hipsters to be enemy of the people
Apparently that's also antisemitic lmao

Nice dubs, but for me it doesn't make any sense.Why would children of migrants fight against tourists?
Blake Martinez
Maoism is ideology born in China. Same like democracy was born in Greece(?), but practiced' in many countries and continents.
Imagine thinking the average German would give a shit about any of these fringe retards
Camden King
Tourists are cancer in a city like Berlin. Most of them are upper-middle class with too much time on their hands seeking for an "authentic experience" in Berlin. The same guys go backpacking through Cambodia to find their "true self" and get kidnapped by the Khmer Rouge. I doubt that JW would target economic migrants or something.
Jaxson White
They are getting way more attention as they should. German state TV already did an entire article on them calling them all Nazis. They punch way above their league (no pun intended)
Of course they won't achieve anything but they expose how reactionary German "left"-liberals are.
Gabriel Cook
So wait a second If they mean they have beef with those antideutsche freaks then okay. But I dunno. If this is anything like RGA then they're going to make a big show about being the only real antifascists on the internet but not do much in reality compared to others who don't talk about it.
I can see the appeal though and it looks like they've attracted men to it who may have gone Nazi instead. So Nazi groups appeal to isolated, lonely young men with a lot of emotional pain by telling them "you're not alone because you're white (or German)" and so on. But there's not much *there* so to speak so the only way to keep the the whole sandwich glued together is to direct violence outwards at "the enemy." So the antifascists have to tell the same people that that's bullshit, and it's better to join us because our community is based on love and actually looking after each other – since Nazis certainly don't do that – while also having the willingness to smash any Nazi who tries to hurt you.
I dunno if JW actually operates that way though. Anyways I send them my best wishes
At this point if you can afford to take your family to Germany from America you are already some kind of professional, not quite petit-bourgeois fucker. The average person doing that is wasting their money. They should be saving it just incase a health issue makes them fucking homeless.
Kayden Campbell
I am assuming "hipster" has a wider meaning in German, like it does here. So it doesn't reference a very specific subculture but rather the kind of urban petit bourg "soyboy" likely to be neoliberal or anti-Deutsche. In that case they aren't very wrong.
Easton Reed
I doubt that they are targeting only american tourists. If that was the case I would applaud them. Having said that how does one recognize american tourists from non-american tourists?
Aiden Bennett
How does one recognize tourist?
Ethan Davis
By the way they walk around the city slowly, look at maps, the backpacks they wear and the giant ass cameras they have on deck
Camden Gonzalez
Jugendwiderstand seems to be so small and unimportant, that they aren't even mentioned in the Verfassungsschutzbericht (report for political extremism)
Oliver Carter
I heard a term once called "Bionade-Biedermeier" that is both extremely long and complicated but also extremely sharp and precise in that German sort of way. They might mean that.
Ethan Gray
Visiting Germany from America, even I could spot Americans from a hundred feet away. By German standards we're weird-looking freaks who dress in peculiar ways and kick our feet out when we walk while smiling all the time.
Enjoy being crushed beneath the boots of the proletarian dictatorship, you undisciplined peasant.
Elijah White
it is a statement against the fucking German soyboy left, it is the right thing to do "Other German Maoists" are literally all cults or money laundering schemes
