VA - Vorwärts, nicht vergessen - Solidarität! (ETERNA, 1985)

Posted in March 2016:

The coming weekend will see elections to the state legislatures in three of Germany's 16 states - Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz and Sachsen-Anhalt.

Actual surveys suggest that the xenophobic party "AfD" may become the third strongest party in these elections.

The "AfD" is a dangerous party, promising "easy solutions" for "complex situations" - solutions that obviously don´t work.  Along with dissatisfied conservatives, the "AfD" has also become a catchment basin for right-wing extremists and anti-refugee, Islamophobic rabble-rousers. Increasingly, the party's existence, and growing popularity, is raising questions as to whether Germany has truly learned the lessons of World War II and the Nazi dictatorship. Lessons such as: xenophobia has no place in democracies; European values and laws are binding; the right to asylum is non-negotiable; and even people who cross borders illegally should not be shot at. The "AfD" is slowly becoming Germany's answer to the Front National in France: a xenophobic, chauvinistic, anti-European party.

The growing popularity of the AfD will change Germany´s political landscape and the political debate significantly - sadly not to the better! Many people in this country are worried about what will happen in the next months...

With this in mind we want to share a compilation with songs in a good democratic tradtion:

Thank you for the upload. There is no more time to waste.
How can democratic people with the historic German background vote for radical right-wing organisations only to show their disagreement with the political progress in our country. Haven't they learned from historical desasters in our country? All this makes me speechless, disappointed and sad. It is our duty to help those poor people who try to keep away from murder and destruction in their counties. It is required to help them!
