Bernd Rabehl

Bernd Rabehl (2009)

Bernd Rabehl (born July 30, 1938 in Rathenow ) is a German sociologist and author and was one of the most famous members of the Socialist German Student Union (SDS). Since 1998 at the latest, Rabehl has represented nationalist and later right-wing extremist positions.

Life

There are hardly any sources available about Bernd Rabehl's childhood and youth during the National Socialist era and in the early GDR . In the biography he wrote for his dissertation Marx and Lenin (1973), he wrote that the “ anti-fascist elementary school, membership in the FDJ , the high school ” and the forced “work as an unskilled worker ” had a lasting influence on his upbringing.

His partner is the journalist and photographer Bärbel C. Richter. As editor and designer of Rabehl's blog, she paints the following picture of him:

“Bernd Rabehl was always a wanderer between opposites - and a player by nature. He was literally born with both. In the middle of the war, in 1944, the mother got a divorce. The father, a staff sergeant in the medical service and gambler, moves away to the west in good time. The family stays in Rathenow, Brandenburg. A decision that will decisively shape Rabehl's political career. "

In an interview for secret TV with Michael Vogt , who was often criticized for historical revisionist film productions, Rabehl recalled early influences on the "national question". In the interview he quotes a song by Bertolt Brecht , which was sung during his FDJ time: " Adenauer , Adenauer show your hand, for 30 pieces of silver you sell our land."

In 1960 he began studying agronomy for two semesters at the Humboldt University in Berlin , but went to West Berlin before the Wall was built and began studying sociology and philosophy at the Free University of Berlin . After the Wall was built, he smuggled friends and acquaintances from the GDR as an escape helper - as the résumés he wrote himself later say. With this, as with his political writings, he negotiated a long-term entry ban into the Eastern Bloc .

The construction of the Wall in 1961 was a decisive event not only for Rabehl's attitude towards the East, but also for his attitude towards the West . In an essay published in 1968 he wrote that “the gullible students and the young workers” - including Rudi Dutschke and himself - had tried to storm the wall. "They forged passports, dug tunnels, cut fences or painted their slogans of freedom on the cement ... The disillusionment followed quickly and led to the realization that the wall had been built with the consent of the USA ." The United States of America had itself With this confirmation of the agreements in Tehran , Yalta and Potsdam, it was determined to " smash the liberation movements in the Third World undisturbed ". The attitude of the West German politicians to the building of the Wall had also shown that “they were not ready for the 'decisive act'”, and the means of war were “denied them by the intra-capitalist division of power after the Second World War”.

Rabehl was a close friend and companion of Dutschke in the 1960s. In 1962 they joined the group “Subversive Aktion”, which had been founded by Dieter Kunzelmann and others in Munich. The group had branches in Tübingen , Stuttgart , Frankfurt am Main and in West Berlin. She drew attention to herself with artistic and provocative actions.

In retrospect (1988) Rabehl described his own situation and the Dutschkes in this group as follows:

“We are now reading the reviews of the GDR here in the West because we're still too much GDR people. We read Trotsky , we read Bakunin , we read Carola Stern ; In short, all things that deal with the question of what kind of society we come from. And at the same time we try to get to know the West. So aesthetic-artistic eclectics meet politically-uprooted eclectics. Because we were eclectic too, d. That is , we did not have a fixed worldview , we only took fragments from us. And we are now discussing what should actually be done or whether nothing can be done. "

Socialist German Student Union, relationship with Dutschke

In 1965 Rabehl joined the SDS together with Dutschke. As Reinhard Strecker showed in an interview, the influence of Dutschke, Rabehl and other people in the SDS meant that its initiatives to come to terms with the Nazi past of the Federal Republic were more or less abandoned.

1967/68 Rabehl was active in the federal board of the SDS. As early as 1967, he had a paper circulated internally in which he proposed the transfer of Frantz Fanon's so-called “liberation nationalism” to German conditions. This paper stated:

“The Marxist left must push the approaches of nationalism further, precisely to the neuralgic point that Germany was divided by its ally USA, who sanctioned this division from Tehran . [...] Nationalism in this form is a kind of collection, creates an alliance between the individual socialists , who can thereby become politically effective. "

In 1969/70 Rabehl was one of the initiators of the so-called Ruhr campaign. Initially, this was just a reading group that wanted to conquer the Ruhr area for the revolutionary students, but first they wanted to complete a Lenin and Stalin reading program, make inquiries on site and make a location and class analysis. It was in this context that Rabehl's paper on the DKP was created . The Ruhr campaign never arrived in the Ruhr area. Some of the activists later founded the KPD / ML ; Rabehl wasn't one of them.

In 1973 Rabehl completed his dissertation. Dutschke's widow Gretchen Dutschke-Klotz reports in the biography of her husband that there was a serious conflict between him and Rabehl over work. Dutschke had insisted that Rabehl had more or less copied from him the idea of ​​analyzing the Soviet Union as a contemporary “ Asian mode of production ” for his dissertation . Rabehl denies that.

In the 1970s Rabehl was a member of the editorial conference of the magazine Problems of the Class Struggle and the Red Book Collective . Between 1973 and 1984 he initially worked as an employee and lecturer at the Sociological Institute of the Free University of Berlin . He then worked for several years as a visiting professor at the Federal University of Campina Grande ( Brazil ). In addition to numerous articles, he published several monographs on Marxism and the labor movement . After his return he taught again at the Sociological Institute and conducted research at the Central Institute for Social Science Research (ZI 6 or ZISOWIFO), most recently at the Otto Suhr Institute of the Free University of Berlin. Together with Siegward Lönnendonker and Jochen Staadt , he published articles on a history of the SDS in the "SDS project" sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation. In the contributions to this project, Rabehl described the SDS primarily as a “provocation elite”. He also highlighted the differences in the interests of refugees from the GDR and “Westerners” in the SDS. Rudi Dutschke's main interest was therefore not, as with the “Westerners”, “ internationalism ”, but the “ German question ”. For Dutschke and other " GDR rescuers " in the SDS, Germany was a country held in bondage by the occupying powers . After the collapse of the GDR, Rabehl worked in the research association SED-Staat among other things to influence the MfS on the SDS.

Hofgeismar Circle

In 1992, Rabehl was involved in founding the Hofgeismarer Kreis , a German national association within the Jusos in the vicinity of the Junge Freiheit author and Leipzig Juso chairman Sascha Jung.

Turning point: "Danubia speech"

At the end of 1998 Bernd Rabehl gave a speech to the Danubia fraternity in Munich . There he warned, among other things, of a cultural " foreign infiltration " of Germany, which is already promoting civil war-like conditions and terrorism in Germany and Europe. In addition, he claimed in his lecture that the " anti- fascist left" and "certain media at home and abroad" made this topic taboo:

“This problem of foreign infiltration and the dissolution of a national or urban culture should not be addressed in Germany. The anti-fascist left is consciously in an alliance with certain media at home and abroad to involve the German cultural intelligentsia, not to ask certain questions. If this concern of making the “German question” taboo in connection with immigration and “foreign infiltration” were to work out, the ruling power elites, who are dependent on the criticism and the moods in the country, would also be incapable of acting. Given this immobility on the national question, extreme positions would at some point act like a lifeline: for example, to resolve mass unemployment and the country's inner turmoil through a dictatorship . "

The speech came to the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit via Horst Mahler and was published there with a number of content changes, without any editorial reference to these changes. Rabehl criticized the unauthorized publication in a letter to the editors. He did not dispute the essential content of the speech itself. As a result, he continued to write on various topics in the Junge Freiheit . After the publication of the speech, Rabehl was accused of ethnic nationalism and secondary anti-Semitism . He dismissed this as a denunciation . The national revolutionary interpretation of the revolt of 1968 and in particular of Dutschke's figure contained in the speech was interpreted by colleagues, friends and leftists as a right-wing radical “coming out” by Rabehl.

The Berliner Zeitung reported that during a discussion with SDS veterans, Rabehl said that he himself had discovered that the text was very close to the Nazi language . The newspaper quoted Rabehl as saying: “Oh, that's LTI language , the language of the Third Reich.” However, according to the Berliner Zeitung , he did not want to take anything back from the content of this text.

After the lecture to the Danubia fraternity, Rabehl increasingly radicalized his views. In particular, an alleged "Auschwitz club" moved more and more into the center of his considerations. In an interview with Junge Freiheit , Rabehl described the “anti-Semitism taboo” as the “master taboo” of contemporary German society, which was used in particular by the State of Israel against Europe and North America to silence critics , but also by the governments of North America and Europe would be used to silence opponents in their own countries. Rabehl said literally:

“The antisemitism taboo is the easiest way to stigmatize, isolate and socially destroy the opponent. The so-called Auschwitz Club is the super weapon in the arsenal of the politically correct left in Europe and North America. Unfortunately, this is accompanied by the instrumentalization of the anti-Semitism taboo by the State of Israel. "

Rabehl saw and sees himself deliberately misunderstood. He wanted to destroy it, he put it in several publications. In an essay on Rudi Dutschke, he interpreted the fierce criticism that he had been exposed to since his lecture in front of the Danubia fraternity as a bad campaign in which "informers and informers from MfS and HVA " as well as "profiteers and parasites from the cultural sector " involved. "The director," writes Rabehl, "did not refer to anti-fascist sects, but to foreign secret services."

In January 2000, the political scientist Andrei S. Markovits published open letters in the trade union magazine Express and in the Tagesspiegel . On February 10th, the union -affiliated Hans Böckler Foundation released Rabehl from his position as a liaison lecturer. Rabehl left the DGB in 2000 and later joined the German Trade and Industrial Employees Association (DHV) in the CGB . He was excluded from this in 2005.

NPD, DVU and transverse front

In an interview with the NPD newspaper German Voice in March 2005, Bernd Rabehl said about the criticism that, like Horst Mahler, he had developed from a left-wing extremist critic of the Federal Republic to a right-wing extremist opponent: “Ultimately, I am my thinking from then remained true, only that the political positions have shifted in the meantime. What used to be considered 'left' is now considered 'right'. ”Rabehl also repeated many of his theses from the Danubia speech in the interview.

In response to this interview, the Otto Suhr Institute at the Free University of Berlin tried to revoke his teaching license. The NPD immediately criticized this attempt. In a press release by the party on May 18, 2005, it was said that after “the campaigns against the Bundestag MP Martin Hohmann , Brigadier General Reinhard Günzel and the former Deputy Chancellor Jürgen Möllemann ”, the “threats” against Bernd Rabehl “were another worrying sign for the dramatic crisis of freedom of expression and conscience in Germany. "

The managing director of the Otto Suhr Institute, Bodo Zeuner , justified this attempt in a letter dated May 20, 2005 to Rabehl, partially reproduced by the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel . In it he wrote that Rabehl would adopt “right-wing extremist and ethnic-nationalistic theses on alleged foreign infiltration, on alleged conspiracies of international secret services and secret societies, on the allegedly planned destruction of a German national identity and culture”. Anyone who, like Rabehl, thinks about völkisch-nationalist conceptions and does not reflect the scientific knowledge of the connection between this thinking and the murderous Nazi rule, is not doing political science based on the ethical and cognitive standard that the Department of Political and Social Sciences has to demand from its lecturers and rightly demanded. "

On June 8, 2005 Rabehl defended his political positions during a lecture to the NPD parliamentary group in the Saxon state parliament and on June 9, 2005 at a press conference with the NPD parliamentary group. When the revocation of the license to teach turned out to be legally impossible, the Otto Suhr Institute of the Free University of Berlin decided not to give Rabehl any more teaching assignments and no longer let him take exams. However, the legal department of the university managed to re-admit Rabehl's lectures. However, they then took place outside of the canon relevant to the examination.

In 2006 Rabehl was a guest of the DVU parliamentary group in the Brandenburg state parliament and appeared at a parliamentary group meeting. His subject was the theory and practice of the 68s . In the election for Bremen citizenship in 2007 , Rabehl ran for the 6th place on the right-wing conservative list Bremen must live from Joachim Siegerist unsuccessfully for the Bremen citizenship .

In 2005/06 Rabehl also worked as an interview partner on a film on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials . The film was produced by Michael Vogt . In an interview, which is included as bonus material on the DVD, Rabehl comments on the Nuremberg trials. This is where “killer over killer in court” would have sat. The process was just a "farce". In the other interviews for this film, with Alfred de Zayas , Franz W. Seidler and Alexander von Stahl, publicists who are known for their historical revisionist theses about Germany have their say .

Rabehl has appeared at various NPD events since 2005. In Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania he was also appointed as an expert for questions relating to the state constitution by the respective parliamentary groups of the party. When asked what these appearances at the NPD meant, he told Spiegel Online that he was planning a scientific paper on the NPD and that he wanted to approach his research object in this way. Rabehl gave the title of this work with Die Faschismusjäger, “European Fascism” and the NPD . The NPD parliamentary group in Saxony published an article by Rabehl in 2005. How far Rabehl has identified with the NPD became clear on January 10, 2009. Rabehl held one of the ceremonial speeches at the New Year's reception of the NPD parliamentary group in Saxony. There he criticized the international financial system and noted the downfall of the German language and culture, the education system and the German city.

Rabehl also appears in nationalist and right-wing extremist organizations in other European countries. On February 8, 2009, for example, he gave a lecture to the Langenthal branch of the Nationally Oriented Swiss Party (PNOS), which was classified as a right-wing extremist organization by the Swiss Federal Police Office in 2001, but is now considered a group of the New Right . Rabehl stated in his lecture, according to the organization's website, that “it is of course a declared aim of the rulers” to “incite those forces against each other that oppose the US hegemony. A transverse front , according to Rabehl, would only be able to move anything at all. "

Candidate for the office of Federal President

The NPD and DVU originally had Rabehl's promise that he would be ready to run as their joint candidate for the office of Federal President . Rabehl withdrew his acceptance shortly before the nomination planned for March 8, 2009. Holger Apfel , then deputy federal chairman of the NPD, explained in an internet forum that Rabehl had withdrawn his original acceptance of candidacy for health reasons. Rabehl's political justifications published in various media, in which he emphasized fundamental differences to the NPD and DVU and declared that he did not want to appear in a “puppet role”, were added, Rabehl had evidently lost his courage. On March 6th, Rabehl had sent the NPD a contribution that was to be published on a website prepared for his candidacy.

In the article for the planned website that Holger Apfel made available, Rabehl wrote:

“When the DVU and NPD approached me to run for the office of Federal President, I hesitated for a long time. I feared harassment and media campaigns. After 1989 this republic showed itself to be unfree, ruthless and violent. The right to free opinion is not respected and many references to the loss of law and justice in this country are countered with charges of fascism . In order not to flee into speechlessness or a silent opportunism, I finally accepted the offer of the two outsider parties. It was also important that a former 'Ostler' applied for this post. "

Despite his withdrawal from the candidacy for the office of Federal President, Rabehl has apparently not fallen out with the NPD and DVU. The DVU published several articles by him in their national newspaper . The NPD expressed understanding for his withdrawal. Rabehl, who so far always answered the question about the reasons for his appearances at DVU and NPD that he wanted to know exactly what he was researching, described in his article for the National-Zeitung of April 17, 2009 the cooperation with the NPD and DVU and the candidacy for the office of Federal President, which was ultimately withdrawn, now expressly as an "experiment".

Bernd Rabehl is retired and lives as a freelance writer in Berlin. He maintains his own blog. Rabehl makes no secret of his political orientation. In 2011 he told a reporter of the time : "I am on the right because there is no longer any left."
