This is silly shit. Your way of thinking is as complex as the world-view
of the nazis. A maybe rude line like "All dressed in uniforms so
fine/they drank and killed to pass their time" reveals far more about
fashism as may fit into your small brain. And again, germans (I'm one
too) are telling the world, foreigners prefered, who are "nazis".
Laibach have a very complex strategy of playing with the symbols - what
they call "heavy signs" - of stalinism and fashism. It's a bit risky and
I don't like it nor am I interested in their strategy, but it's 1000
miles beyond your niveau. There maybe is a relation to "totalitarism" in
the works of many of the best artists of the last decades. We haven't
understood it yet. There is that funny or maybe not so funny
relationship to the german past in the music of Kraftwerk. But this is
art. Art doesn't have "opinions". Great Works never reduce themselves to
cheap moral statements. It's a kind of an always risky game with the
things you are related to, you are involved, if you like it or not. When
someday we really now, what's the heart of fashism, of human terror - we
will be thankfull for the works of that courageous artists that let us
see inside of things. But no thanx to people like you.
Excuse my english. It's even worse, when I get angry.
Greetings to the people with brains, hearts and ears!

Interesting, since Kraftwerk had a huge influence on hip-hop and techno, 2
genres of music that were invented by blacks.

Besides, this is obviously a lame attempt to start a cross-posted flame war.

come on kids. depeche mode are gay, not very nazi-like. on the other hand
there ARE many real neo nazi bands, why didnt bozo mention any of those??
joy div/new order just played on the motif from an ignorant angle.
kraftwerk are merely the machines who repeat themselves and cant come up
with anything new now that theyre on the spot. no nazis here, and it's a
fine thing. pq

I see. White band Kraftwerk pioneer the electronic music that later
hugely influenced techno and hip-hop. But the genres were actually
created by the blacks who stole the idea, not the white pioneers? Mmm.
Yes, very interesting.

I guess this is the argument of black racists and Nazis like Spike Lee
and Louis "Hitler was a very great man" Farrakhan who like to blame
all their problems on other people (just like white Nazis do) and
claim blacks invented all or most literature, art and music forms but
they were stolen by the evil white man. Of course.

Adolf Hitler was a huge influence on black dictators like Idi Amin,
and we know that black racist imbeciles like Farrakhan also admire
him, so what conclusion do we draw from that? Hitler wasn't a Nazi
because blacks are influenced by him?

If only the bands mentioned here weren't burdened with filthy white
skin, they could get away with using Nazi symbolism and even rhetoric,
couldn't they?

Only whites can be condemned as fascists/Nazis after all.

Learn the difference between influence and stealing. Then get back to me when
there is some margin of intelligence in your retorts.

>Hitler wasn't a Nazi

And Kraftwerk are Nazis because they are from Germany? So does that mean that
all German people are nazis because of where they're from? So I suppose all
Arabs are terrorists and all whites are KKK, because we live in the same coutry
where the KKK dwells.

Actually I think I am more offened by him calling these bands
"alternative". I think thats where the real flame war lies.

PS I wasnt saying I am not offended by Nazis.

Dont forget the Bundeswehr tank tops and the "Tin Drum" imagery of the
Nazi mastermind behind JD and NO, Herr Sumner/Albrecht!!! And what
about those arm-bands, thin ties and black leather caps that Herr Hook
used to wear?!?!! And all of the backwards-masking "propoganda" that is
all over Closer and Unknown Pleasures?!?!?! Isnt it strange how the
producer, Martin Hannett, isnt with us any more???? And Trevor Key??
gone!!... doesnt all of this fit into a larger, insidious,
Nazi-sympathizing plot? And now I hear they are going to tear down the
Hacienda to build... Nazi condos????

Nothing happens by chance... its all part of the puzzle... beam me up,

Perhaps you can explain it to me, music guru? Cite some examples while
you're at it, because I keep hearing from blacks that they invented
music and paleface stole it from them. Or is that it? Blacks are
influenced; whites steal?

Sorry, Einstein. Don't remember writing that.

Doh! Stoopid old me has forgotten writing that as well. Perhaps you
can quote it for me, intelligent one?

Thanks, now I know the level of "intelligence" you meant. Ignore what
I wrote, invent some extremist nonsense I didn't write and answer that
several times over.

I don't believe all Germans are Nazis and all Arabs are terrorists
(only the Pentagon and Jewish-run Hollywood believes that). Since
whoever simplified the article to your imagined intelligence level
obviously lost something in translation, I'll explain again. Your
'argument' was that Kraftwerk were not Nazis because black people were
hugely influenced by them. I don't know whether they are Nazis or not,
I merely pointed out the obvious flaw in your article that implied
that those who influence blacks (like Kraftwerk) could not, for that
reason itself, be Nazis, by citing just two examples of blacks who
were influenced by or admired Hitler.

What's wrong? Don't you like it when someone points out that blacks
are just as unpleasant, bigoted and stupid as the worst kind of whites
when they get the chance?

Last time you posted this slanderous rubbish yopu mentioned book references
which you claim prove NO were fascist, I asked you for the references (book
title, author and catalogue no.)as i had never read anything like that in
any NO/JD biogs i have read. You ignored this request as you obviously made
the book claims up.......

Quite with the slander and shit stirring and go and do something useful like
fighting against real fascists.

Depeche Mode song: "Well we're different colors / and we're different
creeds/ and different people have different needs.
It's obvious you hate me though I've done nothing
wrong/I've never even met you so what could i have done?
I don't understand/ What makes a man hate another man/
Help me understand...People are people so why should it be/that you-'n-i

Well, if you wanted to make a case, "Joy Division"'s name was taken from the he prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp mentioned in the 1955 novel House of Dolls. Depeche Mode's Music for the Masses has the song "Pimpf" on it named after either the Pimpfe (the youngest members of the Hitler Youth) or Der Pimpf, the propaganda boys magazine published by the Nazis. However, you'd have to go beyond a couple of Nazi references to really sell the idea that these bands are Nazi bands.
