Communist League of West Germany

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.

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.

[citation needed] On September 21, 1975, the KBW and his Committees against § 218 organized a demonstration of 25,000 people in Bonn against the German law prohibiting abortion.

[9] ZANU politicians Ndabaningi Sithole, Robert Mugabe and Edgar Tekere visited West Germany several times at invitation of the KBW.

[citation needed] The organization split in the summer of 1980 when about a quarter of the membership formed the League of West German Communists (Bund Westdeutscher Kommunisten; BWK), which continued to work on the basis of the KBW programme of 1973.

[citation needed] In 1982, the KBW abandoned its objective of establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat and started to infiltrate The Greens (Die Grünen).

Membership declined later due to the high demands the party made on their members, lack of success and the dramatic changes in the politics of the People's Republic of China.

Already at the council's first meeting, RNZ reported "tumult at the pledge in the town hall", when she refused to take an oath to uphold the German constitution's Liberal democratic basic order.

[12] In her capacity as a city councillor, she called for demonstrations against fare increases on the municipal transport company Heidelberger Straßen- und Bergbahn, as well as for the violent overthrow of the Federal Republic.

She had to be expelled from the council meetings several times for disruption, and had criminal charges filed against her for various offenses, such as calling Heidelberg's Lord Mayor Reinhold Zundel (SPD) a "friend of American war criminals" ("Freund der amerikanischen Kriegsverbrecher") and a "symbol of perfidy and exploitation" ("Symbol der Niedertracht und Ausbeutung").

While there, she was arrested for trespassing and insulting the state, and sentenced to two years and ten months imprisonment at the women's penitentiary in Vechta at the beginning of 1980.
