Motstandsgen

Motstandsgen is a Norwegian term that translates to "resistance generation" or "resistance generation group." It refers to a specific type of youth organization that emerged in Norway during the 1970s and 1980s. These groups were characterized by their opposition to the established political and social norms of the time, particularly the conservative values and policies of the Norwegian Labour Party, which was the ruling party at the time.

Motstandsgen groups were often associated with leftist ideologies and were known for their activism in areas such as environmentalism, anti-war movements, and social justice. They were also known for their use of direct action and non-violent protest tactics to achieve their goals. Some of the most well-known motstandsgen groups include the Red Youth (Rød Ungdom) and the Communist Youth (Kommunistisk Ungdom).

The term "motstandsgen" is often used to describe a generation of young people who were disillusioned with the political and social status quo and sought to challenge it through activism and protest. However, the term is also used more broadly to refer to any youth organization that opposes the dominant political and social norms of its time.

Despite their initial popularity and influence, motstandsgen groups have since declined in numbers and influence. Many of their members have gone on to pursue careers in politics, academia, and other fields, while others have become involved in other forms of activism and social justice work. The legacy of motstandsgen groups continues to be felt in Norwegian society, as their ideas and values continue to influence political and social debates.
