- "Brüder, ergreift die Gewehre" (Brothers, take up the rifles) is a German communist song originating from the Roter Frontkämpferbund in 1928. It was composed by Helmut Nier and performed here by the Erich-Weinert-Ensemble in 1975.
Brüder, ergreift die Gewehre!
Auf zur entscheidenden Schlacht!
Sollten denn unsere Heere
Fürchten das Trugbild der Macht?
Die wir dem Elend entstammen,
Brüder aus Armut und Qual,
Brennen im Kampfe zusammen,
Werden geschliffener Stahl.
Uns aus dem Elend zu lösen,
Ballt die bewaffnete Faust,
Das auf die zitternden Größen
Sie wie ein Blitz niedersaust.
Ihnen war Macht und war Ehre,
Wir sind vor Hunger verreckt.
Ladet die blanken Gewehre,
Das Bajonett aufgesteckt!
Auf, und verjagt die Tyrannen,
Daß ihre Herrschaft zerfällt!
Schmückt mit den blutroten Fahnen
Unsere Arbeiterwelt!

"Arbeiterwelt", what a beautiful word!
Possibly the most beautiful word in the world.
@@nemo5335most beautiful in der Welt
@@TomfooleryOfTheTrolls Jawoll!
"Arbeiterwelt" means "Worker world" by the way
@@Demuu2 & @ArnWuhridenn warum soll das ein so schönes Wort sein?
German communist really know/knew how to make songs, this slaps!
Socialism really does have the best political songs even to this day.
I mean, everyone have bangers, it might dound best to you because agree with the message
@@Finnishnat-conservativedot7126 yes and no. I don't like communism at all, because it just wouldn't work with humans but I still think that communist and socialist movements had the best music. Fascist movement had good music too but communist songs just hit different
@@Dr.Leymen despite being a classical liberal, I think italian fascist music might be one of the best, its very clear about goals, very cheery and pleasant sounding, overall an audio treat.
German songs are overrated imo
@@Finnishnat-conservativedot7126 oh I agree, Italian fascist songs are also pretty catchy. And I am not just talking about German songs. Soviet, Swedish and Brittish communist and fascist songs are catchy as well and just sound good(aside from the topic they are singing about)
A lot of old German and Brittish colonial songs are also very good and Irish resistance songs go hard as well
@@Dr.Leymen I know it might be a bias from me, but Finnish wartime songs (civil war, winter war, xontinuation war) sound good as fuck, and that's a hill i can die on
Beautiful song, the workers of the world shall win, otherwise therell be no world left
Marx livres in the the heart of every Working man!
As a native speaker of German and near-native of English, I would've rather translated "ladet die blanken Gewehre" as "load the/your empty rifles."
"blank" can colloquially mean that something's empty. For example, "Ich bin blank" means "I'm broke", as in, having an empty wallet.
Either way, this song's a good find! Quite catchy.
Never heard of this song, a nice discover, keep going comrade!
This us by far the best communist/ leftist song I've ever heard. It goes so fucking hard.
please upload rare songs more
Poyrazi tatmin et 😋
What a powerful song!
Слава Тельману! Слава Коммунистической Партии Германии!
Why are all commie German songs so fricken good!
Edit: this is a new top 10 communist song for me
We were the first communists.
@@Lenin_enjoyer pretty sure that title goes to the French, but modern day communism as described by Marx I’d agree
@@seductive_fishstick8961(pre-Marx) ‘French communism’ was more utopian socialism then anything in my opinion.
what you’re thinking of is probably primitive communism
@@Daniel-yz5qj yeah agreed
Because we are accurate on everything
Wow, I think that I know quite many german worker's songs, but this one was new to me. Thanks!

Lyrics of this could be patially taken from or inspired by "Bravely, comrades, in step!" (in German, known as "Brueder, zur Sohne, zur Freiheit!"), but this one is way more anxious and less festive. Very cool, thank you
sehr schön genosse!

Очень хорошо звучит)
Hearing the song I was like "I thought german revolutionnaries were pacifist". And then I saw 1928 and it made sense. Maybe if the KPD hadnt been so naive and hasty in 1919, germany would have taken a completely different path.
To be fair, one part of the historical truth is also that the whole state and justice system was on the far right. They were very strictly persecuting even minor crimes and offenses from the extreme left, while they allowed the far right to do practically whatever they want. In a fair democratic system, Hitler would have surely received a greater punishment than 9 months of prison for litterally trying to overthrow the government. I somewhat understand that in such a pro fascist state apparatus, they tended to see violence as the only way out.
German revolutionarys where never pacifist
@@Spartakist-ch4nb From what I know, they killed barely anyone in 1918/1919. The only people I know of that they killed were soldiers who attacked the sailors during bloody christmas. A counter revolutionay commander even said at the time that the revolutionaries were too kind and he would not return the favor. What am I missing?
Yes they were pacifist and thats why the lost, and fascists won, tragedy, that led to WW2 we know.
@@carl-os4603 thats bullshit they even had with the RFKB a military wing, they where the resistance before and during the war
Good video 🗿🍷
The Erich-Weinert-Ensemble might be better than the Red Army Choir, IMO.
Вот что было бы если Тухачевскому отрезали причинное место по раньше
