German Anarchist Political Ad

[astuc8]

The anarchist I hung out with in Germany were not alcoholics. They smoked hashish as part of public meetings. They didn't have orgies either. Plus they were clean and considerate. They fed me for month in return for a little work.

[WingedWolf9]

those aren't anarchists. anarchists are people who want to do away with all government. so wtf

[amonaghan]

These are not political anarchists, these are morons.

[jxhensley]

@amonaghan well I bet Noam Chomsky never had that much fun

[jxhensley]

Ain't no party like a German anarchist party

[Schimmelzecke]

the appd is not a anarchist party, its a Pogo-Anarchist party,, there's a difference.

and the clip was in tv, but censored, cause the tv channels refused to show the full clip.

But i think in america it wozld be more difficult, because there's more censoring in tv.

you can not even say fuck in american tv

[Ilikenuman]

theyre got my vote

[TheCelticNinja]

Shame too- I wish my TV was actually fun sometimes. That thing hasn't been turned on in quite a while due to lack of actual entertainment.

[TheRealMikeSmith]

Obviously a fake ad made by the establishment.

[sneeptheelite]

hahaha funny shit

[deadby15]

LOL! Now everyone should see why the idea of Anarchism has an undying inherent charm for many. Comfort of Chaos indeed!

[TyrannyForYou]

"Anarchy is order!" ~ Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

So, anarchy is not "chaos."

[XxSen18xX]

these are not anarchists, they are a bunch of fakes on drugs. .

[colombiano4420]

those are punks not anarchist

[jrhcp31]

you call this anarchy? looks more like capitalism to me.

[ScythS]

Pft. This video is bogus. This isn't what Anarchy is about. What is depicted in this video is chaos. Study anarchy, you will find that chaos is nowhere in its plans.

[Snurdgerbly]

True, ScythS. This isn't anarchy, it's chaos. I suspect a PR disinformation campaign at work here, to frighten the consumers back to the shopping mall.

[Punkabilly187]

Man thesse guys are fuckin animals!!!!

[jtckrew]

see what you people dont understand is its all about the thought in ur head u cant call someone from german a poser when you dont even know them so dont judge peole inless uve met every single ''punk'' you think is a poser

[neverwasapunk16]

but year italy/france/germany punk scene are a bunch of posers nowadays. In the 80s it was kool.

Come to Los Angeles and ill show you what really inner city street punk life is like.

[CheshireanRat]

really cause i'm from la and the punk "scene" is dead.

[neverwasapunk16]

Really. Where do you live in L.A ?

[neverwasapunk16]

Thats why i sent you some flyers for some L.A street punk gigs this weekend. Just because you don't know shit about the scene doesnt mean its dead dipshit.

[CheshireanRat]

u didnt send me any flyers...

and i've been to three shows in the last two months and theres gonna be a show in my backyard in dec. just cause there's a "scene" don't mean punk ain't dead. yeah there's stuff going on but it's not what it used to be and it doesn't mean what it used to mean. so maybe it ain't dead, but it's dying.

[neverwasapunk16]

There is alot of posers in the German punk scene. Of course if you air ads like this there is gonna be a few kids who decide to get a mohawk and "act" punk.

my fav german street punk band is slime

[MrGreekPatriot]

I hope the nazis will split your head... cunts fucking lefts. Die

[muhlol]

in the end he says "balkanization, backstultification, never work again, vote APPD!"

the slogan on the last picture (meine stimme für den müll) means "my vote for the garbage"

[muhlol]

it's not an anarchist party. it was founded in the 1980ies by two punks ("Zewa" and "Kotze" (german word for "vomit")) as a fun party.

their most important sentence is "Saufen, Saufen, jeden Tag nur Saufen" which means "Drinking, drinking, only drinking everyday" ... the first sentence the chancellor candidate says in the video is "maggots of this world, looks on this country" they want to split up germany in 3 parts - one for nazi scum, one for ppl, who really wanna work and one for themselves

[m00tc0w86]

i don't think that this is really an anarchist party, but i think it's just put on as a dadaist joke about politics.. the party's platforms are legalization of all drugs, unemployment with full salary, and abolition of police, and its head is the lead singer of a punk band... so it's obvious they can't be serious. no matter what your views about anarchism are, this is still fucking hilarious

[CheshireanRat]

well, i agree it's not anarchist but they might be a little serious. plenty of people would love to live in that sort of society.

[Geez75526]

What a load of shite.

Looked like a pretty phat party but I can't see what it has to do with anarchism.

Anarchy = Order

[DoomHippie]

These are Anomists! Not Anarchists!

[KenCat1337]

This is so insulting to true anarchists.

Anarchism is the opposition to the exploitative, hierarchical and oppressive structures that bring death via war, preventable disease and hunger..

Anarchism simply means people organizing in HORIZONTAL ways, rather than in ways that are against our liberty and equality.

"Anarchist Party" is an oxy-moron -- the system is set up to sustain itself, not to help others.

[batcaver6700]

are u people stupid? anarchy = chaos ! in an anarchy there are no authoritys or laws !

[laseranarcho]

That opinion is widely spread but wrong. So it's not your fault. But please take the time to look up anarchy in the dictionary of your choice.

Anarchy is ancient Greek meaning "without rulers" while what you mean "without rules" is anomie.

Thank you for reading.

[ytryuerth]

that was chaos not anarchists

[snower93]

The APPD isn't fascistic. It's a party for fun

[grdcsp]

only skinheads!!!!

[AnarchistCommunity]

wtf

[HammerSickle]

right wing fascists have been doing such propaganda for a long,against every AntiCapitalists or AntiImperialist movments.but I think people are now well mature to differentiate between good and bad.

[gopopi]

thats just fascists punks and idiots. nothing to do with anarchism... idiots

[Odroerir2]

It's Pogo-Anarchism, and it has absolutely nothing to do with real Anarchsim. I really hate those idiots for using Anarchism as the name of their ideology.

[sleepalldayandnight]

thats pogo anarchy

and works sucks

[MadeInBerkeley]

Anarchist? Looks like a bunch of drunk Germans to me.

[LasagnaIsGood]

wtf is this!?

[bob44466]

fuck u eusephus nothing good happens in a america all u care about is the price of things (anyway this anit anarchism if it was a anarchist party it would be of rave and hardcore) see hardcore FUCK AMERICA

[oetzi296]

Wählt den politischen Frühling :-), wen denn sonst

[meathookabortion]

fuck whoever made this. Anarchism is not about all this bullshit. Anarchism (or at least Anarcho-Syndicalism) is about liberation, not about fat bitches with stickers over their nasty tits.

[NorskeDivision]

The first line is "Germany - look at this country!"

The last line is "Fun, relaxation and no more work ever! Vote for APPD."

[fiftycaliberfistfuck]

lol that's not anarchism, thats hedonism & debauchery

[norhamdan1985]

No wonder people don't like the idea of anarchism. Because of idiot punkers like these. A good idea will never be looked at seriously with morons like this pushing it.

[EgoArguoArguendo]

Can someone please translate what the man in the commercial said into English. I don't speak Deutsch.

[Problembero]

translation (attempt):

"maggots of the world, look at this country!

split germany, rediscover dumbness, no more work! vote appd!"

[pickitupp]

Scheiße! sind Anarchisten doch doof. Wenn ihr aufwachset, sollst du mit ernsten Revoluzern mitmachen.

[magidd]

This is ugly and stuped as all pank "humor".

[ScottBrown666]

anarchists smash stuff and also hug trees, which is far worse.

[eusephus]

Capitalists hug stuff and smash trees.  So there. Nyah...

[ScottBrown666]

capitalists only hug money and time

[chorizo1337]

@eusephus So collectivists wont use trees then? WTF

[ACmetalfaceDC]

@eusephus In the video description... I like how you are proud that US has no freedom of speech?

[moshpiler]

@ACmetalfaceDC good point

[Eddy1701]

Haha, nice video. We need more fun political ads like this instead of those "Bush skipped school in 5th grade" or "Kerry attends Satanic sacrifices" ones.

[cato8383]

HAHA, anarchists going to elections??? haha what a joke, they don`t believe in the institutions of government.

[Voltara]

Oh how naughty. It's not real anarchism. They are alienating the pitiful middle classes instead of recruiting them. They are setting a bad example. If they've got you up-tight-white-trash angry I'm sure they'll think it was all worthwhile.

[FionMacCumhail]

stop taking things so seriously. its obviously a joke. Anarchists wouldn't participate in elections anyways

[trexty2]

yes .. but .. Jello Biafra ? california uber alles !!

[redviperhh]

This is a real political ad for the APPD (anarchist pogo party of germany) and has been banned after it's first airtime afaik. The APPD's slogan says "working sucks" ("Arbeit ist scheiße") and they officially stated that they only participate at the elections to get the campain finance compensation, which is 0,70 EUR per vote. The compensation was then used to invite all sympathisants to a big beer party.

[eusephus]

It's pretty hilarious how humorless and uptight most "anarchists" are these days. Bunch of namby pamby psuedo-Christians if you ask me.

[FionMacCumhail]

Yea I was surprised. I thought it was hilarious. It was as if they were satirizing their own stereotypes. I thought it was very clever.

[scratching50]

christians?

[1337Nexus]

wtf does this have to do with anarchism? This is a bunch of retards pratting around. Way to gain support and sympathy. Great job lads.

[robinofleiceste]

thats shite, if as an anarchist,i gettheoportunity to air my feelings/viewsto the world i hope i come up with smebetter things to show-this just says to the world 'i'm an anrchist and i'm a prat'congratulations. i wonder why we still hae a govt.?

[FionMacCumhail]

I actually thought it was pretty funny, being an anarchist myself.

[Morcticiun]

Stop pissfartig around! This has nothing to do with politics, this is just for fun! No one of you seems to know "Die Kassierer", do you? :P

[anakissm]

what the fuck has this got to do with anything? i dont know what that guy was saying but how the fuck is this a political ad, looked more like a beer ad to me.

[BAHO87]

damn!

its pogo-anarchism

[furiousgeorge1]

this is what is commonly known as fucking bullshit.

[phrack1976]

This is an anti-anarchist ad, it's stupid and boring.

Has nothing to do with anarchism.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

drunk capitalist swine

[DJWelfare]

Thats nothing got to do with anarchism,.

Load of bollocks

[eztocrypt]

pretty stupid

[antieverything1]

What the fuck did that have to do with social anarchism?

[mr1001nights]

Pathetic. They let them appear on the air because they do a service to capitalism and the state by defaming anarchism

[m0bi]

it is amusing. but yea, i would have done it differently - but it's amusing.

[complacentnation]

propaghanda

[evoldis]

German drunk punks, not much of anarchism.

[Billy0001]

um, this is antianarchism... it show's society without government to me lost and insane.

[siadbarrbar]

yea i agree...thats a fuckin orgy. way to give anarchism a bad name.

[solidaridadobre]

Wow, that's not anarchism
