    Una profonda spaccatura attraversa la Germania.
    Divide la nazione -
    "Non è una novità, certamente -
    Ma di interesse!
    L'esempio "Krupp e Krause" spiega
    il vero corso della
    divisione tedesca - ascoltato! -
    Come una domanda di classe!
    Perché Krupp è un monopolista
    e Krause è un proletario -
    Questa è l'opposizione di classe che
    tutti capiscono!
    Mr. Krupp, il capo dell'industria
    Nel club del signore più ricco
    possiede fabbriche, miniere di carbone che
    sfamano molte migliaia di uomini!
    Come una delle decine di migliaia di persone,
    Krause è
    sempre al lavoro nella fabbrica di Krupp - il
    suo salario orario: cinque marchi!
    Perché Krupp è un monopolista
    e Krause è un proletario -
    Questa è l'opposizione di classe che
    tutti capiscono!
    Cosa produce Krause ogni ora
    Vale più di cinque marchi -
    il valore aggiunto è raccolto da Krupp
    Perché la fabbrica è una!
    E migliaia di colleghi sono
    come Krause ogni giorno -
    Mr. Krupp prende sempre il valore aggiunto
    come plusvalore !
    Perché Krupp è un monopolista
    e Krause è un proletario -
    Questa è l'opposizione di classe che
    tutti capiscono!
    L'economia è tesa?
    Il mercato del lavoro
    si chiama Krause »Partner Krupps«
    Perché poi è richiesto!
    Ma l'economia è torbida
    La situazione di ordine flau
    Poi minaccia Kraus in
    licenziamento, riduzione salariale!
    Perché Krupp è un monopolista
    e Krause è un proletario -
    Questa è l'opposizione di classe che
    tutti capiscono!
    La divisione qui in questo stato si
    spiega così in questo modo:
    Ciò che Krupp al potere e alla ricchezza ha a
    rischio Kraus!
    Nell'altro stato tedesco,
    non ci sono più i Krupps.
    Ci sono gli stessi Kraus, veramente
    i Signori della DDR !
    In modo che Krupp non possa mai più
    stabilirsi lì,
    Krause si batte per il
    riconoscimento GDR !

      @Links-grün versiffter Minecraft Kommunist authoritarian is quite a meaningless term. It is completely relative term depending on where you live and has a different connotation depending on who you talk to. The issue was not authoritarianism. The issue was the degeneration of so-called "socialist" states.
      I'm sure there are plenty of dogmatic romanticising fools in this comment section but let there be no mistake; The "communism" we saw for the most part in the 20th century was that of a corrupted yoke. Democracy was not present whatever (though personally I've no issue with that), commodity production was still heavily present though in the hands of the state, party officials were not held to account for the most part unless in cases of opposition to the party.
      In all, it is pretty fucking stupid and downright sad that so many "communists" get so dogmatic and zealous in their strive for communism that they end up supporting regimes that had no intention of reaching that goal, merely protecting the rule of the party no matter how corrupted and warped from its original intention that party became.

      Because freedom is what makes socialism. There is no socialism without freedom. And when the masses aren't free then the person isn't free either. If we just replace capitalist oppression with a slightly red version of oppression we've gained nothing. "Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit des Andersdenkenden." "Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters." - Rosa Luxemburg, founder of the KPD.
      Equality can only be achieved through freedom and freedom can only be achieved through equality.
      So why freedom? Because it is what humans have been thriving for since the very beginning. When you have a full stomache then you can be free to do what ever you want to and be creative and actually help your personal sanity.
