    Well, it was a popular song that was made into the national anthem of the Weimar Republic. The Nazis kept it, but added another one.

    The Deutschlandlied/Lied der Deutschen is mostly about uniting the disperate kingdoms that used to be where Germany was into one country. The use of the first two stanza was mainly discontinued because they mentioned borders that are way outside modern Germany, and are a bit unserious for an anthem (German women, German wine). They also aren’t banned, just not part of the national anthem.

    So it wasn’t written by the Nazis, and not necessarily their main anthem. Still, something new would have been nice. I like the Kinderhymne, I would also have taken Auferstanden aus Ruinen, it’s a lot more upbeat. But oh well, we’re stuck with it for now.

    I don’t think I’m saying much that hasn’t already been said better, but I don’t wanna fuck off without replying.

    Communism doesn’t have to mean that everyone always has and gets exactly the same.

    Also, at the moment, the factory is being owned by someone, or many people, who likely don’t labour much at all. Is that preferable to the possibility of someone getting unfairly rewarded for too little labour? If the factory isn’t state-owned but directly worker-owned, what stops the other workers from voting out a colleague who they feel is taking advantage of them?

    Does you’re out mean out in the streets, starving? Does meritocracy mean that people who don’t sell enough of their life-time don’t deserve food, housing?

    What if the person isn’t lazy, but disabled? Where is the border between lazyness and something like adhd?

    Lol, looking back im kinda overdoing it with the questions, but I just typed down what occurred to me while reading.
