Krupp und Krause - Krupp and Krause (West German Pro-GDR Song) 

didn't realise my music was missing explanations of Marxist surplus value til now

The virgin Krupp vs the chad Krause

Can't believe this song outdid the fella who wrote a summary of Das Kapital by compressing a whole part of it into a 3 minute song

Imagine being like: "My music doesn't explain the basic Marxist theory."

"Krupp never again can establish himself there" But he did :(

When you lose a Monopoly game

This sounds like it could be a song played in a children's TV show to explain basic marxian economics

The guitar in the background is pretty sick, not gonna lie.

It took me two years to realize this is a song from West Germany promoting communism (I think. I may be wrong.)

"five marks" five Marx Marx. Is this song secretly trying to push communism?

Funfact: During the Reunification the west German government specifically intended to bring east-German unemployment rates to west-German levels. Considering that unemployment rates in East-Germany were lower than 0.01% before and 30% after the reunification, thats kinda questionable

Fun fact: Krupp joined with Thyssen AG in 1999 to form ThyssenKrupp. Alfred Krupp Foundation is still the leading stock owner in the company.

I could listen this song over and over. The german GDR and pro GDR songs are the most beautiful in the world

Krause is /ourguy/ for sure

I should be reading theory, but I am watching this.

I should be learning for my french, Latin and math tests, but I’m watching this

Who would win?: - 2736 pages of dry economic analysis - a 3:20 minutes song

This song. Ive listened to it for atleast 2 years on and off again and i just love it!

For Krupp is a monopolist And Krause is a proletarian ! This is the class contrast Damn this song kick ass

I know this is a german communsit song but cant we just stop to aprrciate the word "Klassengegensatz"

I didn't know this genre of music existed in any Germany.

absolute banger

I read das kapital when I could’ve got a condensed 3 minute version.

>when you've been singing along to this for months and just now look at what the lyrics are saying

*Pro GDR members* Well...it’s 1982 we need to get with the times...music is changing...hmmm... *Krupp und Krause INTENSIFIES*

When a music explain communism better than a book... I love how Germans are, *S2 DDR*

I didn't know that this song existed! I like it!

The Communist Manifesto in 3 minutes and 20 seconds

Everyone gangsta til the German kid starts singing this in class and its the 80s

Finally a Communist song I can sing in my Mother Tongue!

I do not understand this song but I love to listen it again and again, even I have saved this song in my phone to listen in the bed.

The best socialist music is the type that has Marxist analysis of Wages

This song is the thing that finally pushed me to communism

My grandfather had a dream when he was 20,that dream was to travel throught the East block because Yugoslavia was a non-allied state.After visiting Czechoslovakia he went to Germany to see how the West works and after that he went to Eastern Germany and he always sad to me ,,Son,i dont know why they unified,i mean on the west are dumb and lasy people and on the east good men and women who were all imployed in factories run by sindicats.I dont get in''

What year is this from? Edit: Looked it up, it's 1971.

Ah yes, the song I use to explain simple Marxist economics to capitalists

I was trying to find a song when I was 10 and now I finally found it. and right now I'm 11 years old

This, this is amazing

"It's clear even to a hedgehog this Petia was a bourgeois Birds flew by with a song, they sang 'Sima is a proletarian'" -Vladimir Miaikovskii

There's a GDR film of the name guys I love gdr and communist btw

"Damit sich Krupp nie wieder Dort etablieren kann, Strebt Krause für die DDR Die Anerkennung an"

When I first listened to this song I only read West German song, not the pro-DDR part, I thought it was pro capitalism. I was confused because the lyrics didn't really make capitalism sound good. Then I realized that what they said actually made sense. I can't believe a song made me a communist

Greets from Poland

When communism had style

this feeling its ... eargasm

Krause is a good man

I am a moderate socialist, but damn this song slaps

I still cant believe we changed our beautiful german mark for the Euro.

Solidaritat,

5 Deutsche Marks roughly translates to $3.11 usd. that is what is referenced when krause earns 5 marks per hour.

I made half of my class communists.

Una profonda spaccatura attraversa la Germania. Divide la nazione - "Non è una novità, certamente - Ma di interesse! L'esempio "Krupp e Krause" spiega il vero corso della divisione tedesca - ascoltato! - Come una domanda di classe! Perché Krupp è un monopolista e Krause è un proletario - Questa è l'opposizione di classe che tutti capiscono! Mr. Krupp, il capo dell'industria Nel club del signore più ricco possiede fabbriche, miniere di carbone che sfamano molte migliaia di uomini! Come una delle decine di migliaia di persone, Krause è sempre al lavoro nella fabbrica di Krupp - il suo salario orario: cinque marchi! Perché Krupp è un monopolista e Krause è un proletario - Questa è l'opposizione di classe che tutti capiscono! Cosa produce Krause ogni ora Vale più di cinque marchi - il valore aggiunto è raccolto da Krupp Perché la fabbrica è una! E migliaia di colleghi sono come Krause ogni giorno - Mr. Krupp prende sempre il valore aggiunto come plusvalore ! Perché Krupp è un monopolista e Krause è un proletario - Questa è l'opposizione di classe che tutti capiscono! L'economia è tesa? Il mercato del lavoro si chiama Krause »Partner Krupps« Perché poi è richiesto! Ma l'economia è torbida La situazione di ordine flau Poi minaccia Kraus in licenziamento, riduzione salariale! Perché Krupp è un monopolista e Krause è un proletario - Questa è l'opposizione di classe che tutti capiscono! La divisione qui in questo stato si spiega così in questo modo: Ciò che Krupp al potere e alla ricchezza ha a rischio Kraus! Nell'altro stato tedesco, non ci sono più i Krupps. Ci sono gli stessi Kraus, veramente i Signori della DDR ! In modo che Krupp non possa mai più stabilirsi lì, Krause si batte per il riconoscimento GDR ! Scritto da: Erwin Jedamu

I remember listening to this while ok vacation. Nothing but good vibes

This is a nice song

Even if you hate them, you've got to admit The communists (and related ideologies) have great music

Не знаю, о чём поют немецкие товарищи, но красиво.)

Thanks for this excellent translation

I love this song! Thank you!!!

This sounds extremely epic.

These guys were the original leftist hippies.

Capitalism: *nervous sweating*

Честь и слава Гдр

fun fact: It doesn't matter if you support capitalism or communism, you're going to get insulted anyway.

Zufällig hierher gekommen. Absolut top Daumen hoch.

Last year I went to the DDR museum Men, East Germany was a good dream with beautiful houses and a lot of work. This is how communism can work, having a big provider of natural resources like the USSR and a lot of working men

My favorite music! :)

Krause is better than Krupp, clearly.

Krupp gonna catch these hands

Eines muss man euch Kommunisten ja lassen, schöne Musik hattet ihr schon immer.

You should look for Music from Hannes Wader, he's a western german Musician who made many communist Songs during the Cold War.

The fun part of this song is there is no RU-vid commercials ;)

Wusste gar nicht dass so ein Lied existiert. Ist schon interessant und man kann sich das sogar ganz gut anhören

This song helped me understand Marxism

Hey Getchan, do you have any original record of Moldovian SSR Anthem? And by the way can you make a the song of "If tommorow brings war" ?

Amazing how u dig this kinda gold out

My computer had problems with sound. I played this song. No more problems with boombox.

The wrong Germany reunified.

Imagine what could've happened had East Germany stamped out the 1989 protests. It could very well have stayed divided to this very day. Berlin would be an... interesting city...

doesn't klassengegensatz literally mean class contradiction/class opposition?

Very nice

How that bass fits soo perfectly with the song?

55 people are very Kraussed about this video and find it Kruppy.

arbeiter hoerst du est nicht?

Пролетарии всех стран соединяйтесь !

cool song, fun lyrics, made my day.

When your class splits into A and B

Havent heard from west germany from this song came out

I like how the first few seconds of the song sounds like Medieval Fantasy music.

Greetings from a Yugoslav Communist. P.S. Sorry about our State Security Administration commiting all those assassinations in your country.

Awesome song and if you put it at 1.5 speed the rythm base sounds like drum'n'bass

That's what I call a plot twist

Рот фронт, товарищи! Ещё будет час, когда рабочий класс разобьёт капиталистическую систему вдребезги. Эпоха Всемирной пролетарской свободы и справедливости близка как никогда - рабочим лишь необходимо в мировом масштабе протянуть руку к этому светлому будущему.

Great song, curious to listen to the instrumental though. If anyone has the instrumental of Krupp und Krause I would like to have it

Lovely!

Потому что круп Правитель монополии, И Краузе Пролетарий. Это классовый антагонизм Все понимают.

Great is a great song.

Can I use this for a film? Or may I get a link to whomever can make that decision?

I love it!

Wonderful.
