Thousands are left without power and heating in Berlin after a left-wing terrorist attack on the electricity grid.

The violent side of climate ideology is evident in Berlin: thousands of Berlin residents are still without power and heating after a left-wing terrorist attack that affected the power grid. However, the latest attack in Berlin proves that the threat of terrorism is real in the wake of green climate ideology. An organization known as the left-wing Vulkangruppe set fire to a facility in Berlin that supplies electricity to tens of thousands of households. It called its attack „socially useful” and „an act of international solidarity for the protection of the Earth and life.”

„Freedom for all anti-fascists, climate activists, and all other rebels,” they said.

Last year, the Vulkangruppe sabotaged the power pole supplying the Tesla factory in Grünheide.

On the far-left Indymedia blog, they called for solidarity with left-wing violent criminal Lina E. In another Indymedia post, unknown individuals claimed responsibility for damaging the car of a „local AfD group.”

„Left-wing terrorism has returned to Germany with increasing intensity,” warned Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, adding: „This is ‘climate extremism’ that „targets our prosperity, our economic order and the everyday lives of our citizens, thereby endangering lives.”

A few years ago, Dobrindt warned of a terrorist climate movement—and was openly ridiculed. In 2022, when the aggressive roadblocks by „Letzte Generation” (Last Generation) intensified, the CSU politician stated that „the further radicalization of certain parts of the climate movement” must be prevented.

The then head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, called Dobrindt’s statements „nonsense.”

Völlig dystopisch: Nach dem Stromausfall fährt die Polizei durch das menschenleere, stockfinstere und zugeschneite Berlin-Nikolassee und teilt per Lautsprecher mit, man solle für die Abendstunden batteriebetriebene Leuchten und Taschenlampen bereithalten.

Violence from Antifa circles has been downplayed for years, as it is now. For several days, the German chancellor did not even deem it necessary to comment on the terrorist attack against the capital’s infrastructure.

Violent slogans have become acceptable

Calls for violence are also popular in German government circles. Sophie Koch (SPD), the commissioner for queer issues, has a banner on her Facebook page with the slogan „Antifaschismus ist Handarbeit” (Antifascism is handiwork) and a crocheted photo underneath it. Other German government officials are also known for their sympathy for Antifa. Back in 2019, Lars Klingbeil, now SPD chairman and finance minister, admitted: „I got into politics because I was fighting ‘against the right wing’ … I was an active member of Antifa.”

In 2022, Luisa Neubauer said in a video message at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit: „Of course we are thinking about how to blow up the world’s longest crude oil pipeline,” she explained. She was referring to the EACOP pipeline, which is currently under construction in East Africa and is expected to be completed in July 2026. She later stated that it was all a joke. Firstly, the pipeline does not even exist yet, and secondly, it is only a book. He was referring to the book How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire by Swedish author Andreas Malm, who considers himself a climate activist and comes from Trotskyist circles.

They find ideological reasons for escalation

Those concerned with climate issues do not always explicitly call for violence, but they prepare the moral ground for it. The narrative is as follows: climate change is forcing us to draw new boundaries. Economic writer Ulrike Herrmann regularly calls for a controlled war economy on talk shows, as in Britain in 1917, due to climate change.

The Vulkangruppe, which has been active for a long time, was also responsible for the attack on Tesla. In their latest letter of recognition, left-wing extremists proudly reported „specific attacks against the Adlershof technology park, the Tesla Gigafactory, the infrastructure of the Vattenfall Reuter coal-fired power plant, and the Vodafone hub in Adlershof.” Now the violent side of climate ideology is showing itself in Berlin.
