Life
[edit]Joscha Schmierer was born in Stuttgart. He initially aimed for an academic career and planned to earn a Ph.D. under the mentorship of historian Werner Conze. However, in a 1969 public forum, Schmierer dramatically hurled eggs at Conze to protest his defense of the Wehrmacht's actions in Eastern Europe. This act not only made headlines but also terminated his academic pursuits.[1]
In the late '60s, Schmierer was active in student politics, serving on the national board of the Socialist German Student Union (SDS) in 1968.

Communist League of West Germany
Maoist communist organization in West Germany, 1973–1985
Not to be confused with Communist League (West Germany) or League of West German Communists.
The Communist League of West Germany[1] (Kommunistischer Bund Westdeutschland; KBW) was a Maoist organization in West Germany which existed from 1973 until 1985. The KBW contested the general elections in 1976 and 1980 in West Germany and was rated as the strongest of the German Maoist parties from 1974 until 1981. After 1982 the KBW was virtually inactive and was finally dissolved completely in 1985.
A number of the former KBW members became more conserservative politicians ("Realos") at The Greens: Reinhard Bütikofer, Winfried Kretschmann, Ursula Lötzer, Krista Sager, Ralf Fücks und Ulla Schmidt.
History
[edit]The KBW was formed at a conference held in Bremen in June 1973 as a fusion of various local communist groups from Heidelberg,[2] Bremen,[3]Göttingen,[4]Freiburg[5] etc. At its inaugural conference the KBW adopted a programme advocating the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism and the bourgeois state and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat in order to achieve a classless society and communism.[6
