II. Ideology

A characteristic of left-wing extremism is a support of a socialism. Socialism is a political system that is characterized by Marxist ideals. Left-wing terrorists seek to disrupt capitalism in support of collective ownership of goods.

III. Origins

The Revolutionary Nuclei are thought to be the offshoot of a previous terrorist group known as the Revolutionary People's Struggle (ELA) The ELA dissolved in the early 1990s, and the Revolutionary Nuclei emerged in 1995 and remained heavily active through 2000. After a long hiatus, the group was credited with also carrying out an attack in 2009. This group opposed US military occupation and involvement in Greece. Both the Revolutionary Nuclei and its preceding Revolutionary People's Struggle were leftist groups. Both of these leftist terrorist groups opposed capitalism.

The prevalence of left-wing terrorist organizations in Greece is thought to be a backlash to the military rule that prevailed until 1974.

IV. Ideology

Based on the targets of attack, members of the Revolutionary Nuclei appear to have a dislike for the economic status quo. Their first terrorist activity was bombing a Citibank branch in Athens. In 1998, they bombed a Barclays Bank and a Citibank in the same day in Piraeus.

V.       Claimed Attacks

The 1996 attack on Citibank was the first incident credited to the Revolutionary Nuclei. The group was responsible for an attack on a government building in 1997. They were very active in 1998, with three separate incidents. One involved a government target, while the other two were attacks on businesses. The other two occurred on the same day at banks at who different locations.

In 1999, the group launched a deadly attack at the Intercontinental Hotel. Members of the Greek government were attending an Economic Round-table at the hotel. One other person was injured in the course of the attack. Later that same year, the group bombed the office of Texaco in Athens.

The group was most active in 2000, with five attacks occurring. The most notable aspect of these attacks was the use of sophisticated time bombs. November 12 saw three attacks across the city of Athens. The Revolutionary Nuclei once again attacked a Barclays Bank and Citibank location. No injuries were reported, but damage was caused to the buildings. The third attack on that day was against an art studio, which resulted in property damage.

VI. Weapons

The Revolutionary Nuclei made exclusive use of bombs in their terrorist activities. In some of their attacks, the bombs were able to be defused before they detonated.

The group is responsible for one casualty and twelve instances of property damage.

*********** !!!!!!COMMENTS!!!!!!*************

First off I would consider switching the sections "origins" and "lead section". There is a lot more history and useful background information in the origins section compared to the lead section. Might just also try to find some more information based on their ideology or situations where they have had issues because of their ideology. Origins section is very helpful and detailed. gives a lot of good information that lets me know a little bit about the group. the goals section seems to just kind of go with the claimed attacks section. I would maybe try to find something that shows what they wanted to accomplish rather than how they accomplished that. Claimed attack section has a lot of information as well. I would maybe just try to get into deeper detail on some of the lesser known attacks. Also information on the dollar amount of damage would be interesting to see. You could also maybe add information about instances in which the bombs were diffused in time, and if anyone part of the terrorist organization was caught. this page seems to have a lot of good details and information to add to the real wikipedia page. However, the last thing I would maybe add is information regarding members of the group, and also where did these group members go after they left the group. Overall, a strong informative article. Lots of information that is interesting and easy for the reader to understand. The headings and subheadings organized the page into a coherent story as well.
