Piano/Vocals: Wir sind des Geyers schwarzer Haufen 

Well keep in mind, the nazis think their movement is about rising up against the ruling class as well. However, the line is drawn where in leftist movements, the ruling class is the bourgeoisie, where as with nazis it’s just jews.

@@ovalgoatkid1340 In multiple leftist parties in Germany they assumed that Jews composed the bourgeoisie and could justify ge*cide with that. Strasserism is a clear example. I think this does extend to n*zism as well to some extent. Similiar to modern anti-semetics they view the jews as the true dominant class in society that controls everything and corrupts everything. So to them it isn't g*nocide, it was literal class warfare.

the nazis had a tendency to steal from the communist, they for example wrote a version of "Auf auf zu kampf" and replaced Karl Liebknecht with Hitler. Also I think the melody for this song was written by someone who ended up becoming a nazi. a shame this song is now connotated with fascists though, it truly goes hard

​@@nickl1243 you are a fascist and the Revolution will not spare you.

@@ordinaryrat strasserism is not leftist, it was literally a part of the nazi party.

based comment

i can suggest you Engels' book about this war. i've read it and i liked it

@@ArnWuhridenn what is it called?

@@zionmclaughlin655 Engels - German Peasents War

@@ArnWuhridenn Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out!

@@zionmclaughlin655 np

Theres a version by the German communist Ernst Busch, you should check that out too

@@cortexradio I had absolutely no clue he sang this song, thanks!

Was made by a nazi

I am an American but learn german from well, German songs!

The ß isn‘t pronounced longer than the normal s sound. It‘s the vowel before the ß, that is pronounced longer.

Maybe it has something to do with your/my dialect.

ß isn't longer s. It is sharper s.

Theyre not though

The melody was composed by a National Socialist though. Wouldn't it be the Marxist Socialists that are stealing it?

@@AM-cm2kj Well, the melody is composed by a nazi, not the song itself

Wasn't it from the German peasant revolt in 1526 though?

@@Albaraka_plus No, it is about the Great Peasants' War but was composed around the 1920s by Bavarian poet and Artillery Officer Heinrich von Reder. The Aforementioned Nazi is Fritz Sotke, who arranged the melody. The reason Nazis love it so much is because of it's anti-noble and anti-church lyrics - also why leftists like it.

do you have a link?

Good song with a roling beat.

Why is it a shame fascists use it too? The more people stand against Church, Aristocracy, and State, the better.

Fascists used it before communists

@UCeCYStn4e7eJ1mRicl_If1Q your entire personality is based on being anti-communist stfu

Communist undermencsh

So it is similar to National Socialism.

@@Reinhard_Erlik neither in praxis nor in theory.

The melody was unfortunately composed by a Nazi

@@lucas3918 Good art transcends political lines

@@Aetherius21 I agree. It carries more leftist themes regardless. I was pointing out why it was popular amongst reactionaries, given oc said "for some reason"

@@lucas3918 I do know that the Nationale Volksarmee band played it on parade a lot.

Lakis wait, isn't it an old folk german melody? I thought i heard it in landsnechkt songs

PLEASE WE NEED THIS

They could also use the english lyrics if they want

yeah please more yiddish. no reason except for im jewish myself.

@@limeboiler If you're not familiar with her, check out Isabel Frey, an Austrian Jewish socialist and activist who released an album of revolutionary Yiddish anthems. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-87yFefoIu_o.html&ab_channel=IsabelFrey-Topic

@@gabrielchristy7341 I am familiar with her cover of Daloy Politsey, however I wasn't aware of any other releases. I'm also aware of some of her protest work in Austria around 4 or 5 years ago... Thank you, though, I'm glad to know there's more where that came from.

have you ever considered starting making videos on youtube, it might be amateur but you can improve in time

He technically doesn't "speak" the language. He just tries to pronounce it accurately. But still hard

he does not speak the language, but tries to pronounce the words correctly. I don't speak German either, but when I sing this song, I can't be distinguished from a native Hamburgian or Frankfurter.

"kee-ree-L-ice" Is it really; shit I definitely remember hearing it pronounced the way I did, I think, in some NVA recording. Rip.

@@MonsieurJack95 You did great for a New-Yorker, seriously ;) p.s. It could just be a dialect thing, but I believe most germans wouldn't recognize the word as is pronounced in the video. Also random fact, it's my birthday in like 3 hours, so this video is a great gift man.

@@limeboiler Happy birthday friend! Mines in two hours from now. Here's to us both!

@@lucas3918 Thanks! happy birthday. I'm 19 now.

@@limeboiler would you look at that lol, I'm also nineteen. We're on the same track

well it isn't, the song is anti clergy and anti-clergy was a big thing with fascism, funnily enough, hitler loved the clergy and supported them. crazy how fascism works Lmao

@@oracuda it is funny because muntzer was praised by engels and was a proto-communist

Maybe because the "fascist"/NS movement was all about protecting the interests of the poor? Businessmen confused the NS economic ideology with the Marxist one ( Vampire Economy )

Behind every soldier is ten supporters. Jack does more than enough providing us with rallying cries

@@Lyudovik1917 I 100% agree, but in general comrades need to at least practice their cardio! Just give it a good 10 minutes a day and itll make a huge difference. It helps alleviate anxiety and promotes productivity. All the hardest working comrades I know try to be healthy! Doesnt have to mean tight abs and huge muscles. Just an overall healthiness.

@@andresabourin2423 I agree, but being healthy is different to making fun of someone on the internet for looking weak.

@@Lyudovik1917 you're right. I just wanted to (maybe wrongly) add my little bit.

@@andresabourin2423 exactly just a bit of exercise a day

Согласен

@@hirdmann Yes. As someone who believes in nobility and respects Christianity - seeing most of my fellow traditionalists consider this song a traditionalist one is absolutely hilarious.

Probably used among right wingers who are more socialist minded (strasserists for example)

National Socialism promoted this doe? Strasserism is also very close to this

the women is Rosa Luxemburg and the men is Karl Liebknecht, some real intresting people :D

@@JohannaLumiere thanks!

Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht, taken from us too soon by the SPD traitors and their fascist goons.

Dont be sad. The stupid nazis claim anything for them that has some great value. They even claimed the word socialism. That is not a reason we should let them have it, is it? ;)

@@DerDrako no it was written by a nazi

@@Natalietrans more nationalists than nazis, but yeah, right wings anyways.

@@DerDrakono the writer was a fucking nazi

@@Natalietrans Then tell me who was the author?

it'd be nice if socialist lyrics could be adopted to their music, it's what the Red, White, and Black armies did with various Russian folk songs and possibly military marches too during the Russian Civil War.

@@davidmartinez688 That's a good idea

@@davidmartinez688 That happend with a lot of german songs too, Die kleine trumpeter and Auf auf zum kampf are two examples I can think of now, if anyone is interested I can link you them

folk german

I think its quite good. But the hissing sounds could be better.

@@DerDrako Yes, but the pronunciation is terrible, the words are mispronounced

i checked it... and well damn, it does!! a lot...

You don't know what a Landsknecht is

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PxQM93SQwWs.html&ab_channel=AnimeKorsanlar%C4%B1 Suffer with me

Never

potentially we can rip this song away from the fashies if enough leftists like it

@@Lyudovik1917 Imagine an army of leftists singing this in a distant land, the fascist stronghold trembling in fear as the red (and black) host approaches

Don't let the fash steal any more art man, if anything the lyrics of the song are far more leftist than reactionary in nature

We don't need any fash concern trolling, gtfo bootlicker. Our art is our art, and it will be torn from their cold dead hands

yeah it'sad listening to this knowing that this can be misinterpreted to nazism, but, hey, we have to claim this song too because it was also used by us, comrades and Mr Jack did a great job helping us to show that this song is ours too :) ps: i noticed that ur profile is about Zimmerwald Conference, that's so cool, bc it's a great mark on the socialist (and anti-revisionist) history but still not well remembered... Mr Jack could record the Zimmerwald song as a tribute of this event, it would be so nice, even because there is only 1 version of this song on youtube
