How we all learned to deutsch zu sprechen in 2017


from a July 1909 issue of the newspaper Proletary (No. 46):

During the revolution we learned to "speak French," i. e., to introduce into the movement the greatest number of rousing slogans, to raise the energy of the direct struggle of the masses and extend its scope.

Now, in this time of stagnation, reaction and disintegration, we must learn to "speak German," i. e., to work slowly (there is nothing else for it, until things revive), systematically, steadily, advancing step by step, winning inch by inch. 

So said dis fookin guy, heeyah
