Great video! A small correction, it's "Räuberheere" not "herde" and they're probably singing "auf jedem Acker" (on every field) instead of "auf jeder Rampe" (on every ramp), but I see this "mistake" quite often. It's easy to hear both versions, but everytime I focus and listen closely I'm convinced that they're singing "auf jedem Acker", which also would make more sense. I also just want to say, don't make the mistake of praising the communist ideology, while the songs are great (fascist songs are nice too), the ideology is hiding behind the people and tries to convince everybody that their power is justified by the people, but it's only a authocratic regime. And communism is always authocratic and ineffective, bringing more harm to the society than benefits, it uses nice words but the people pay with their freedom and they're poorer afterwards.

communism is unattainable. if you are talking about totalitarianism, then keep in mind that any state is totalitarian, without exception. because the main condition of democracy is not met: changing the policy of the state. socialism is not bad, because it’s not bad when there is a free quality education, it’s not bad when there is free medicine, it’s not bad when you know for sure that for the next 10 years you will have a job, there will be food and you can plan your life, it’s good when you don’t unemployment. that's what socialism is.

@@AlexAl_Workshop I'm gonna take the first sentence of the Wiki-definition as a basis: "Totalitarianism is a form of government and a political system that prohibits all opposition parties, outlaws individual and group opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control and regulation over public and private life." I'm quite certain, that democracy isn't inherently totalitarian, but of course there are bad/damaged democracys or pseudo-democracys (claiming to be a democracy without implementing its principles). In a proper democracy the power of the government is limited and the people the power (organised in groups of relevant size) to change politics. Socialism is certainly better than communism, but having the industry owned by the government is a fatal flaw. It takes the liberty of people to create and innovate free and without the chance of high reward (own company) people wont take the risk (financially and the time they have to invest) to create something. It would damage progress. The government gets much more power which is always extremely dangerous and can flip to totalitarism in the blink of a second. To have stuff like "free" medicine, education, etc you don't need socialism, capitalism with social elements (Rhine capitalism / Social market economy) would achive that. BUT nothing comes for free! The money for medicine, education etc isn't suddently there, it gets taken from the people. Here in germany the tax goes up to 50% of your income and taxes on products (usually 19%) not included. If you use health insurance in the USA it's not much different from health insurance in Germany. The main difference is you're forced to do it in Germany, in the USA it's your own responsibility. I'm not saying a basic health insurance or free education is bad, but it comes at a price and often stuff gets more expensive when the government is involved. I'm pro general health insurance, but on a basic level (only the necessary stuff) and with the option to choose or extend your insurance with alternatives from the free market. The argument "socialism = job security" is nonsense or at least it's not as nice as it sounds. In the GDR people had to order the car for their child when it was born in order for him to receive it when he was 20. Also there was one single, shitty car to choose from. Socialist and communist economys are a nightmare. They don't adapt to the needs of the people in any way, not in the selection of offered products nor the quantity. Why? Because nobody really cares. There are some unqualified politicians who are allowed to lead a company because of good party connections, trying to fullfil useless quotas the government gave them. Slow or no innovation, because innovation takes hard work and risktaking, which nobody is willing to take when there is no significant profit to gain. There is no need for companies to adapt. Yes, in the GDR people (except politicians) where more equal (financially), but it's not like the poor people got wealthier, but the other people got poorer. And they paid with their freedom, got shot when they tried to cross the border, stuff which was basic in capitalist germany was a luxury item in the GDR. Children got indoctrinated, survaillance every where and the people had no influence on politics, otherwise the would've overthrown the socialist government and implemented a capitalist state.

No, they actually mean ramp, it's about the industrial ramp

@@theobaldbergamelli9638 If you look up the lyrics online you'll find both versions. The two top results my search engine (duckduckgo) gives me are "auf jedem Acker" . I can hear both versions out of this song, at the beginning I thought its "rampe" too, but then I started hearing "Acker". First, "Acker" does make much more sense. Sure, industrial ramp could be an interpretation and that's what I thought at the beginning too, because "auf jede Rampe" is just so weird and I tried to explain it, but it's by far not as plausible as "Acker". Back then the upper class was mostly defined through their land ownership ("Acker") and factorys ("Fabrik"). Why should the workers put their banner on the factory and then put another one on the ramp of the factory? Doesn't make sense to me, a reference to their general land ownership is much more coherent. The next indication which convinced me was the 'r' sound at the end of the word (Rampe/Acker), which only exists in "Acker". Play the song at 0.5 or 0.25 (also at 0.75) and you can clearly hear the 'r' sound at the end. Also, while it's not as clear as the 'r' sound, it's easier to spot the 'n' sound at the end of "jeden". That too indicates towards "jeden Acker" instead of "jede Rampe". But I get it, in the song it sounds like both of it, depending on what you heard first

@@tngdwn8350 what he saying is very plausible but I disagree because planting a flag on a field isn't very heroic and wouldn't be used in a song like this, maybe planting a flag on a grain silo but not a field. And as a native speaker i can say for sure that he's saying Rampe, i even checked with slow video. Them i looked up the lyrics again and it also said Schanze Wich is a German word for fortification. So it makes sense in so far that it is talks about the allience of workers and soldiers not peasents. This also makes sense when remembering the German revolution that was largely influenced by mutanies and soldiers councils
