[QUOTE="Billhook, post: 3802538, member: 17502"] . ‘Ode to Joy’ has been used to “celebrate great public events” under the Nazi regime, it has been anchored and conflated with the struggle of Communism under the Soviet Union, it has been used under Mao Zedong’s China, to promote the ideals of the Cultural Revolution, which went down in history as one of the greatest human rights atrocities to date alongside the Holocaust, the Rwandan Genocide and the Cambodian genocide, just to name a few. If we venture just across the Indian Ocean, ‘Ode to Joy’ has been used as the national anthem for the South Rhodesian Independence movement, a movement that abhorred communism and lionized white supremacy in all of its totality. Upon the alteration of the melodies lyrics, Beethoven’s song was used as a median to incite a shared feeling of brotherhood, one that knowingly excluded fellow black brothers and sisters. It has also been used to unite Marxist guerillas fighters in the Peruvian foothills such as the Shining Path and more recently it has been incorporated as the national anthem for the Council of Europe and the European Union.
