   Alfred Willi Rudolf "Rudi" Dutschke (1940–1979) was a German sociologist and   
   political activist who, until severely injured by an assassin in 1968, was a   
   leading charismatic figure within the Socialist Students Union (SDS) in West   
   Germany, and that    
   country's broader "extra-parliamentary opposition" (APO).   
      
   Dutschke claimed both Christian and Marxist inspiration for a socialism that   
   rejected both the Leninist model of party dictatorship that he had experienced   
   as a youth in East Germany, and the compromises of West German social   
   democracy. He advocated the    
   creation of alternative or parallel social, economic and political   
   institutions structured on the principles of direct democracy. At the same   
   time, he joined Moscow- and Beijing-oriented communists in hailing Third World   
   national liberation struggles as    
   fronts in a world-wide socialist revolution.   
      
   Controversially for many of those who had protested with him in the 60s,   
   Dutschke in the 70s styled himself a patriotic socialist ("Pro Patria Sozi"),   
   and called on the left to re-engage the "national question" and seek a   
   bloc-free path to German    
   reunification.   
      
   Shortly before his death in 1979 from complications arising from his injuries   
   in 1968, Dutschke was elected as a delegate to the founding congress of the   
   environmentalist and social-justice Greens. It was a project then understood   
   as the creation of an "   
   anti-party party", engaging with parliamentary politics but remaining a   
   grass-roots movement.
