Marxist Humanism
-
Ulrike Meinhof, a German journalist and co-founder of the Red Army Faction, evolved from a respected intellectual to a revolutionary militant. Her radicalization, driven by disillusionment with traditional protest, led to violence justified by Marxist ideology. Arrested in 1972, Meinhof’s death in 1976 remains controversial, symbolizing state repression and revolutionary tragedy.

Marxist humanism emphasizes human freedom, drawing from early Marx’s ideas on alienation and emancipation. Emerging in the 1960s, it critiqued bureaucratic socialism, blending Marxism with Hegelian themes. The tradition addresses global issues like decolonization, ecology, and social justice, advocating for a socialism centered on human dignity and needs.
