Yes the poem/song is Brecht's 'In Praise Of Communism' but it was not in defence of the East German Stalinist regime. It was written in 1930-31 as part of his play The Mother, and first performed in 1932. The East German republic was created in 1949. Brecht was writing about the struggle with rising Nazism in the Weimar Republic. It is an old poem/song, but in my opinion it is still as true and powerful today as when it was originally written.


Really ?

What about all the millions socialism killed in the intervening years ?

Whenever it was originally written , it was on plaques and posters all over East Berlin as a prominent feature of their propaganda right up until the people tore them and the wall down. Interesting then that you recommend it as a slogan for the society you'd like to see here.

By the way, why do you need to insult people when you disagree with them ?
