it doesnt exactly seem to me personally to be mocking Communism per see
(and excuse me here, i specialize in prentious kuckle dragging interpretations, so if your not into that, move on nothing to see here)
more along the lines of pointing out with pure punk the utter hypocrisy of the so called 'fee' democratic capitalist countries like England which are in some ways no better than their pinko counterparts of the day in the way they exploit human suffering to further their gains
i.e.- making the green off of concentration camps as some sort of avant garde tourist resorts
Belsen was a GAS!
i think this is an underrated gem personaly, where 'God Save' and 'Anarchy' seem to be cited as the primary classics
Rotten starts off with a brilliant little ryhme, immediately emasculatly middle class mores
than paints a gitty sketch of going over' the berlin wall in the tones of twitchy paranoid tourist
but does anyone find the real deal breaker -"And there looooking at meeeeeeeee!"-
to be a example of that famous nietzsche saying:
When i look into the abyss, the abyss looks back at me'....?
its like the narrator has been taught to fear communism as the greatest evil of the ages and is horrified to find his counter parts on the other 'side'
see the exact same thing in him
theyre linked together like two sides of a coin
there is no 'other' here, no monster
just reflections in a mirror or something
sorry
i think its just pretty fucking poetic for a punk song
Rotten was clearly the brains of the outfit
he had important things to get off his chest it seems
