Anti-terror measures in West Germany extended to suppress legal opposition

Evidence

In 1978 Henning Günther, a student of Rohrmoser’s who was now Professor of Education at Cologne, published with others a crude pamphlet that presented itself as an academic analysis, under the title The Violence of Negation: Critical Theory and its Consequences. The book gave voice to a view that was being widely taken among professors and politicians. As in the first phase of restoration in the Federal Republic, in this second phase too the measures taken to combat unconstitutional forms of opposition were imperceptibly extended to include measures against the legal opposition as well. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2755
