My Take
Rudi Dutschke fascinates me as a figure who paid the ultimate price for putting ideas into action. As the charismatic face of West Germany's extra-parliamentary opposition and its socialist student movement, he forced his society to confront uncomfortable questions in the late 1960s. The 1968 assassination attempt that maimed him, and the eventual death it hastened on Christmas Eve 1979 at just 39, lend his life a tragic weight I cannot shake. Whatever one makes of his politics, his sincerity and intellectual courage are undeniable, and I think history is right to keep his name alive.
