More quotes by Ulrike Meinhof
I can be a subversive element.
Ulrike Meinhof
Protest is when I say I don't like this. Resistance is when I put an end to what I don't like. Protest is when I say I refuse to go along with this anymore. Resistance is when I make sure everybody else stops going along too.
Ulrike Meinhof
Objection is when I say: this doesn't suit me. Resistance is when I make sure that what doesn't suit me never happens again.
Ulrike Meinhof
Anti-Semitism is really a hatred of capitalism.
Ulrike Meinhof
Protest is when I say...'I don't agree with something'.... Resistance is when I ensure that things with which I disagree no longer take place
Ulrike Meinhof
Protest is when I say this does not please me. Resistance is when I ensure what does not please me occurs no more.
Ulrike Meinhof
If you throw one stone, it’s a punishable offence. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it’s political action. If you set a car on fire, it’s a punishable offence. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it’s political action. Protest is when I say I don’t agree with something. Resistance is when I ensure that things with which I disagree no longer take place.
Ulrike Meinhof

Ulrike Meinhof
[I provoke] the system [to] show its true face ... so that through its own acts of terrorism ... the masses will rise against it.
