Some of these groups had a legitimate foundation (Baader-Meinhof, Red Army Brigade) and others not so much. The best word to describe these groups is they were carrying out proletarian justice while the bourgeois government let the fascsist go and destroy everything.
"We are now becoming a mass party all at once, changing abruptly to an open organisation, and it is inevitable that we shall be joined by many who are inconsistent (from the Marxist standpoint), perhaps we shall be joined even by some Christian elements, and even by some mystics. We have sound stomachs and we are rock-like Marxists. We shall digest those inconsistent elements. Freedom of thought and freedom of criticism within the Party will never make us forget about the freedom of organising people into those voluntary associations known as parties."

Socialist Party (Debs Tendency)
Idiots who would never achive anything. While I respect that they were willing to take up arms against Capitalism etc, I don't think that they went about things the right way. You need a mass base in order for a revolution to be successful, all of these groups lacked that (with the possible exception of the PLO, but they don't really fit).
"In reality, the difference is, that the savage lives within himself while social man lives outside himself and can only live in the opinion of others, so that he seems to receive the feeling of his own existence only from the judgement of others concerning him."- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"The emancipation of the working class must be the work of the workers themselves.”- Flora Tristan
"Both those on the East and those on the West should be clear with the fact that we are not moving away from our road that we beat the path for in '48. That is to say, that we have our own ways. We always bravely say what is right on this side and what is not, and what is right on the other side, and what is not. It should be clear to everyone that we cannot be an appendage to anybody's politics, that we have our own point of view and that we know the worth of what is right, and what is not right."- Josip Tito
I agree with you all, because of the groups, none that I know of had any mass support. So what about the Red mercenary Carlos the Jackal?

Carlos is a strange one. I think that soem of his ideas have merit (trying to bridge the gap between Communist Militancy and Islamism), but he does like to blow his own trumpet a lot. The fact that he takes credit for attacks he had nothing to do with and in some cases never happened (!!is proof of this. I'm trying to find a translation of the book that he wrote while in prison, but so far I haven't managed to do so. His support of Osama Bin Laden also puts me off some what.

they helped him out by breaking into an fbi building gathering the evidence the fbi obtained illegaly, somesort of evidence anyways, that cleared his name.
Can we even consider Carlos a red, because he started working for hire rather than fo the cause?

Politically he's Red-Green (Green, as in Islamism, not environmentalism), but he has a definate playboy, gun-for-hire persona.

Carlos was just a gun for hire, He only cared of a cause for a bit, but the sad thing is most of his attacks/bombings were to get his girlfriend out of prison in France, thats when he really eraned his name, so no I don't think he was legitamite, but the other I see fine
