@@rallarix7996some are, some arent, and the anarchists are mostly also communist. I am a libertarian socialist/anarcho-communist myself. i just said that to list off the gambit of people who used this song.

​@@rallarix7996mate , bolshevics whole idea is proleterian dictatorship

@@mikemiki2328The concept of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" first arises in Marx's literature, and is absolutely not just a bolshevik idea. All Marxists believe in the establishment of the proletarian dictatorship. To be clear: when Marx uses "dictatorship" in this sense, he is not referring to autocracy or a single despot commanding a nation. Remember, the proletariat is the whole class of workers. Rather, Marx is referring to a class dictatorship, wherein the proletarian class makes the "dictates" or controls society. This is contrasted with the dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie or, in simpler terms, capitalism.

this song is not nazi, not even aggressively nationalist. This was about a peasant revolt not about trying to genocide Germany's neighbors

@@iamothemakhnovist20 so? How do you know some soldiers might have sung this? That's like saying they wouldn't play preussens Gloria because it was before nazis

It was Freikorps-Hitlerjugend song, which is about Peasants war.

The peasants war was an uprising of peasants in the region of Franconia in the 1520’s against Charles V and the Catholic Church

@@victimofchungus2039 damn, so way older than i thought

@@De_Creane The peasant's war was in 1520's, but song was written around 1920 by Nazi songwriter Fritz Sotke.

@@Nieboret it was actually written by Heinrich von Reder, Sotke composed the music.

Instability and distrust in the nobility and clergy in the 1500s due to the Protestant reformation, Italian wars, and the growing influence over the empire from Spain

@@terrifictomato262 Thanks

But in what part of Germany or other country this uprising happend​@@terrifictomato262

@HereComesTheMoney1 Parts of German-speaking Central Europe, especially what is now Germany, Alsace, Switzerland, and Austria.

​@@HereComesTheMoney1just look up 'german peasants war' and read about it

cause all monks were rich back in the time. They owned a lot of stuffs such as lands and big fancy mansions.

You clearly aren't familiar with how the Cistercians were back in the day; they literally were major landowners and defacto slave drivers, in fact they were like that not long after their founding. They even cheated local people who signed up to join the monastery by making them do all the physical work without ever promoting or even educating them whatsoever, even in the local vernacular. They even had internal feuds that got very bloody, just like the secular nobility, sometimes on ethnic lines like in England and Ireland, but other times it was political, either internally or externally. They also were active in persecutions along with the Dominican Order, including the infamous "Albigensian Crusade". Mind you, this was also back when the Pope could and did have people condemned to enslavement for all sorts of reasons, even entire cities (Florentines in 1376, the Venetians (1309, 1283 and 1509) and the Colonna family in 1535), and in at least one case the wives of clergymen (Pope Urban II, 1089, Council of Melfi) to enforce celibacy. There wasn't anything holy about them; they were as flawed, imperfect, fallible, and wretched as any human, and just as vulnerable to the corrupting temptations of power that everyone else is. I'm not even getting into the stuff a certain Borgia got up to, which hasn't been repudiated to this very day.

​@@teamnoob52These monks were basically warlords? Medieval Europe being Medieval Europe.

german peasants war is so complex, both the protestant and catholics form an alliance to crush them because they want to destroy aristocracy which is considered radical during that time

​@@teamnoob52 And what was Martin Luther's problem with the peasants? You'd think he'd support them in their confrontation.

German had many rebels so I can’t rewrite.

yes, the peasant's boot was his banner

The Bundshu, although technically a different rebellion, I can imagine they used the same iconography since they were similar rebellions. I mean both the Dutch revolutionaries and the Parliamentarians used orange so I could see it.

​@@Falgen подтверждаю, это он написал эту песню. Я был свидетелем.

cringe commie spotted on a song that has nothing to do with marx

@@gabrielcristian8038Cringe Pop History dingus not knowing that this Latin Phrase comes from Acts 2:44 and 4:32 and is therfore pretty much in the Ballpark of a Portestant Peasant Uprising. Thomas Müntzer even used this phrase when they tried to form a greater alliance with other peasant Uprisings like the Anabaptists. I believe the only specter haunting you is the worms in your brain.

@@Bartnuschler Cringe Pop History dingus not knowing that The song who's rite in Weimar Republic and who's yous bother by the Nazi and the GDR. I am prity shour that there weren't many Portestant Peasant Uprising in 1920.I have now idea why the Nazi you'd this song .(mauby bikes he melody of the song is arranged by German songwriter and later Nazi Fritz Sotke (1902-1970)). The GDR you'd the song bikes of its he lyrics are noted for their strong anti-clerical and anti-noble themes. On question did Heinrich von Reder rite this song to inspire Portestant Peasant Uprising. or did he have sum Uther reason.

​@@gabrielcristian8038 the anon has the profile picture of an anarchist philosopher, Mikhail Bakunin, who had falling out with Marx. Also, 'OMNIA SUNT COMMUNINA' means something like 'All things belong to the common!', which, I suppose, portrays the spirit of the hymn well if we account that the aim of the HRE Peasant's Revolt was purging the aristocracy and clergy.

Is there something anti-Christian about this song?

no

​@@peytonscott9023No I think this is just a Christian spam comment.

@@BigScreamingBaby As an actual christian, I honestly despise these comments. They never actually change anyone's minds, it honestly seems like they harm the witness of god's kingdom on earth.

@@memeboi6017 Yeah I think these comments come from some peoples interpretation of 1 Corinthians 12, which if I'm not wrong basically says all Christians have to spread the word of God in their own way be it preaching or through actions or by teaching or any other way you can think of. So then these spammers take it in the most litteral way by just going to random post on online and saying "God loves follow Jesus ect ect ect" no matter how unrelated to Christianity or religion in general said post is(for example I've seen comments like this on shit posts lmao). While the Idea is nice and all I wholeheartedly doubt anyone has ever seen one of these comments and converted to Christianity.

oh no indeed

Death to the Catholic church. Church of Satan. Orthodoxy is the truest and purest form of Christianity.

What kinda dawg you got?

@@Smallsilka dog’s head, yea I see it

The “Florian Geyer” SS division was named after Florian Geyer, a commander in the German peasant revolts of the 1520s on the side of the peasants. This song is directly based on Florian Geyer & his role in the peasant revolt, & actually predates the German Reich, going all the way back to 1920 during the transition from the Empire to the Weimar Republic

@@Gage_The_Comrade_or_Something Ohhhhhh. Thank you very much for enlightening me man.

"Haufen" also doesnt mean Division, Battalion, or similar, but rather a pile or group in General.

​@@diffkopfhorde or pile would be the "best" Translations

Who? And you didn’t spell Wehrmacht right

would make little sense in the context of the song and its content though. Thomas Müntzer and Florian Geyer were very much opposed to using latin as they were protestants

And why would it need to do that? This is a German folk song, not a pan-european song.

This is just straight up cringe.

Are you daft … Germany was more of the promoter of a United Europe

ok weirdo

Peak Marxist cringe

Haha hoe hystû?borat?

yo tabby

No it's the peasants war

Ironically, Florian Geyer's brother was Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order, and Florian had actually negotiated a peace treaty between him and the Kingdom of Poland. Said peace treaty involved officially secularizing the Teutonic Order...not that they were ever all that unworldly. Kinda funny how Florian Geyer then went and warred against the same kind of authorities his brother's order had imposed and propped up in the Baltic. I guess it hits different when it's your own people.

Lol. Watched a bit too much Hollywood didn't ya? Also, the pitch of the singing has been lowered in this video.

@@keerf255 lol fr hollywood makes germans look evil

For me it sounds like a language of powerful warriors, just like arabic and russian. Mind you that im black and have no conections to germany besides a german great grandpa who fled to Brazil after ww2. As the dude stated above, you're probably watching too many movies.

Bacause you were told that Men are evil,this was also the norm in their time.

@@keerf255 The Nazis sure didn’t do it any favours. And I don’t watch war movies at all and have no interest in them really. German has always sound harsh and gutrerall to me. And most people would agree that it does.
