>>I remember the left - fifty years ago - talking about “the sexual liberation of children.”
The Sexual Revolution and Children
How the Left Took Things Too Far
Germany’s left has its own tales of abuse. One of the goals of the German 1968 movement was the sexual liberation of children. For some, this meant overcoming all sexual inhibitions, creating a climate in which even pedophilia was considered progressive.

In the spring of 1970, Ursula Besser found an unfamiliar briefcase in front of her apartment door. It wasn’t that unusual, in those days, for people to leave things at her door or drop smaller items into her letter slot. She was, after all, a member of the Berlin state parliament for the conservative Christian Democrats. Sometimes Besser called the police to examine a suspicious package; she was careful to always apologize to the neighbors for the commotion.
The students had proclaimed a revolution, and Besser, the widow of an officer, belonged to those forces in the city that were sharply opposed to the radical changes of the day. Three years earlier, when she was a newly elected member of the Berlin state parliament, the CDU had appointed Besser, a Ph.D. in philology, to the education committee. She quickly acquired a reputation for being both direct and combative.
The briefcase contained a stack of paper — the typewritten daily reports on educational work at an after-school center in Berlin’s Kreuzberg neighborhood, where up to 15 children aged 8 to 14 were taken care of during the afternoon. The first report was dated Aug. 13, 1969, and the last one was written on Jan. 14, 1970.
Even a cursory review of the material revealed that the educational work at the Rote Freiheit (”Red Freedom”) after-school center was unorthodox. The goal of the center was to shape the students into “socialist personalities,” and its educational mission went well beyond supervised play. The center’s agenda included “agitprop” on the situation in Vietnam and “street fighting,” in which the children were divided into “students” and “cops.”
The educators’ notes indicate that they placed a very strong emphasis on sex education. Almost every day, the students played games that involved taking off their clothes, reading porno magazines together and pantomiming intercourse.
According to the records, a “sex exercise” was conducted on Dec. 11 and a “f***ing hour” on Jan. 14. An entry made on Nov. 26 reads: “In general, by lying there we repeatedly provoked, openly or in a hidden way, sexual innuendoes, which were then expressed in pantomimes, which Kurt and Rita performed together on the low table (as a stage) in front of us...”
A few days later, Besser paid a visit to the Psychology Institute in Berlin’s Dahlem neighborhood, “to take a look at the place,” as she says. In the basement, Besser found two rooms that were separated by a large, one-way mirror. There was a mattress in one of the rooms, as well as a sink on the wall and a row of colorful washcloths hanging next to it. When asked, an institute employee told Besser that the basement was used as an “observation station” to study sexual behavior in children.
It has since faded into obscurity, but the members of the 1968 movement and their successors were caught up in a strange obsession about childhood sexuality. It is a chapter of the movement’s history which is never mentioned in the more glowing accounts of the era. On this issue, the veterans of the late ‘60s student movement seem to have succumbed to acute amnesia; an analysis of this aspect of the student revolution would certainly be worthwhile...
...It is tempting to dismiss the “love play” in the commune as an exception, as a radical excess of a revolutionary project, if so many leftist parents hadn’t modeled their own lives on the educational experiments on Giesebrechtstrasse. For these contemporaries, Commune 2 was a pilot project in anti-authoritarian education that was quickly followed by private kindergartens in which parents applied the new ideas to raising their children, first in Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg and Stuttgart, and eventually in smaller cities like Giessen and Nuremberg...
...In his 1975 autobiographical book “Der grosse Basar” (”The Great Bazaar”), Green Party politician Daniel Cohn-Bendit describes his experiences as a teacher in a Frankfurt Kinderladen. When the children entrusted to his care opened his fly and began stroking his penis, he writes, “I was usually quite taken aback. My reactions varied, depending on the circumstances.”
Others found it noticeably more difficult to deal with the situation. The records of a Stuttgart Kinderladen from December 1969 include an account by a mother who suddenly found several children reaching under her skirt. When one of the boys began pulling her pubic hair, the woman wasn’t sure how to react. On the one hand, she didn’t want to seem inhibited, but on the other hand, the situation was unpleasant for her. “That hurts,” she finally said, “I don’t like that...”
...In the wake of the emerging gay movement, so-called Pedo groups soon appeared. Taking their cue from homosexuals, they also claimed that, as a minority, they were entitled to certain rights. The best known of these groups was the “Indian Commune” in Nuremberg, an “alternative living project” of adults of children. The “Indians,” brightly painted and vocal, appeared at the first Green Party convention, in the southwestern German city of Karlsruhe in 1980, to drum up support for their cause, which they called “free sex for children and adults.”
The Greens were not long immune to the argument that the government should not limit the sexuality of children. At its convention in Lüdenscheid in 1985, the Greens’ state organization in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia argued that “nonviolent sexuality” between children and adults should generally be allowed, without any age restrictions. “Consensual sexual relations between adults and children must be decriminalized,” the “Children and Youth” task force of the Green Party in the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg wrote in a position paper at about the same time. Public protests forced the party to remove the statement from the document...
Might as well replace it with a photo of Joe Biden.
They grudgingly ban “maps” at devart, usually it takes including spyed in the conversation or linking it on hus page as publicly calling it out gets them noticed.
Otherwise it gets a yawn from the mods.
Of course, they are now owned by Wix and the site is a pain in the butt to use now.
Sick perversions — such people should be banned from participation in politics altogether. Make it illegal to advocate pedophilia in any form as a political program, ten year prison term. Then they can get all the free sex they crave.
Good point. Vietnam screwed this country by so many ways. Lowering the age to vote might have been the worst of all.
Agreed. These sick deviant bastards need to be tried, found guilty and then exterminated. Touching and abusing a child is beyond unacceptable!
It has always been part of the leftist program.
If we could get a handle on the liberal indoctrination in K-12, an 18 year old voting age wouldn’t be a problem. When the FBI screwed up the Weather Underground prosecutions, it left Bill Ayers to poison more minds in academia. I cringed when I learned that the kid he and Bernardino raised for the still-imprisoned David Gilbert snd Kathy Boudin, Chesa Boudin, is now the Dustrict Attorney in San Francisco. These commies have a long reach.
I get your drift and the first shots have already been fired a few nights ago by a 17-year-old defending himself against rioters and last night by a rioter assassin.
I guess I am asking when will the time come where someone using deadly force to defend himself or others is not charged with first degree murder?
When use of deadly force is recognized by the police as routine self defense?
This 17 year old in Kenosha will be charged as an adult, so say the powers that be.
Cowards.
If you have the strength of your convictions, post your location and contact information.
Hasn’t posted since 2011, but recognized the name.
I didn’t know wix bought them...another platform I considered and never used.
So now all I have to do to get someone killed is take a picture of them, shop a pedopride flag in behind the picture, then put some kind of inflammatory text about diddling kiddies, and then post it in one of these “map” groups? Interesting.
It was somewhat quiet in that regard.
Then Wix had them change the site layout to something that requires right clicking or mouseover menus....useless to mobile users.
Oh, and categories are no longer a thing.
No, it’s “topics” now and none of them are adequate.
People and portraits?
Nope, lumped under “photography” with everything else making it hard to find specific categories.
They really screwed the site up.
The stock photographers and models were pretty miffed.
