The East German government restored the statue to Prussian King Frederick the Great in the center of Berlin, had guards permanently stationed at Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz's grave and had medals dedicated to Prussian Generals such as Scharnhorst and Blücher.

That's because the uniform itself was based on the Wehrmacht dress uniforms. Interesting that the communist enemy would allow it's army to adopt that!🇩🇪💪🙏

@@superknightlol Definitely!

After you've had enough alcohol at a German party, Ernst Busch is a must.

Also it bewares of their propaganda while inflicting their owns... Such a smart move

They weren't wrong, though. After the reunification (or annexation, however you wanna put it) of the GDR into the FRG basically all heavy industry, which was previously owned by all East Germans, was placed in the ownership of a fund that was to be democratically governed to benefit the East German people. Not that much time later, however, that fund was dissolved and all that industrial machinery and infrastructure was sold off cheap to wealthy owning-class West Germans. The West German people were allowed to lay claims on lands that were supposedly theirs (including farmland and other private property) while the East German people weren't generally approved when they made claims in return. Nowadays we have whole villages getting disappropriated so that coal companies can mine coal under where they are located, even though the coal industry is supposed to be abolished within the coming years. I personally thing that this song was being quite honest. If you want capitalism to win, sure. If you think that the narratives told to you about what happened east of the iron curtain are accurate and thus socialism had to be abolished, I can't really stop you. But claiming that this was just "clever framing" is funny when you consider that this is exactly what happened. Socialist countries cut into the profits of global capital because they do not allow foreign ownership of their natural resources. That's why you see Cuba under Siege while 72% of modern dictatorships receive military aid from the United States.

@@imatreebelieveme6094 I agree!

@@imatreebelieveme6094 depends how you define dictatorship

@@imatreebelieveme6094 I think you can't deny what happened in the eastern bloc, people did starve and were oppressed because of devastating policies instated by the communist parties. Socialism wasn't abolished, because it was never established. In socialism the workers have the power and get to decide how the country is run, but obviously the workers didn't exactly like what was happening, thus it wasn't socialism. I don't understand your last sentence though

*Not related to video* A good message in these trying times. I know it's weird to post a video instead of commenting it but it gives it a chance of spreading by the KZfaq algorithm(even though the chances of that are low). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9h8lax9qNi7Z58.html I know it's a little cheesy but I want to do something good. I will probably have a channel about something different in the future. Spread the video (:

It's based on the dies irae motif which is pretty cool

Thank you! Have a nice day too ❤

@@BartlomiejDmowski You're welcome! 😊❤️

I don't think this is Ernst Busch

@@TheCutePyro It is him, though

He was quite a guy. In the 1940s, he traveled to Spain to fight against the fascists. He got caught and arrested multiple times but was able to flee. Later, in the DDR, he had the balls to slap Honecker, the leader of the communist party, in the face because he disagreed with him. An amazing actor and singer, even though he never really learned to read musical notes.
