Wir Wählen Joseph Biden! We Are Voting For Joe!

Background: The article, “Wir wählen Adolf Hitler!” [We Are Voting For Adolf Hitler!] from Der Angriff was published just before the first round of the German presidential elections in 1932. Joseph Goebbels outlined the reasons to vote for Adolf Hitler. Goebbels has returned from the grave (he was somewhat singed) and written this new article.

We are Voting for Biden!

By Joseph Goebbels

Joseph Biden’s goal is the union of all Americans, including new Americans who are always welcome here. He experienced our people’s need not in books, rather as a person born American whose entire earlier life was filled with the longing for a Greater America. Joseph Biden will give this longing political reality, a reality which today fills hundreds of millions of Americans, including not only those who have been here for generations, but also those who have heard his clarion call for freedom around the world and who flock to our shores  in response to his welcoming invitation.

Biden, the Great American

Joseph Biden’s goal is to solve the social and labor questions. The new Americans are now playing a major role in this effort. His knowledge of social need does not come from hearsay. For many years working among the people he came to know them and the working class, sharing in their cares and their anxieties, and because of his empathy and identification with the common folk, we call him, affectionately and reverently, “Joe.” He therefore has the right to defend the American working class, including its new members, wherever they may be from wherever they have come.

Biden, the Leader

Joe Biden, the born mass leader, has as his goal to unify the American people,  and forge from them unprecedented strength. He works toward this goal not by words and empty phrases, but rather by strengthening the Democratic Socialist Party,  increasing its membership with all who aspire to help in his vision, its members the Demzies, which shows the way.

He began his work with a few like-minded comrades, many veterans, laborers, and hopeful new Americans. Through hard, exhausting and sacrificial struggle he led these people, even when they were mocked and scorned, to the most impressive mass movement in America. He will not let its new members be shunned or discriminated against.

Biden, the Prophet

In the Demzies movement, the farmer stands beside the worker, the senator beside the new American, the soldier next to the student (loan-free due to Joe Biden’s caring generosity). Millions and millions have joined together under the idea of the American people’s community, all the people, including so many who have fled from tyranny, from all over the world, and especially the tyranny of countries to the south of America. They want no differences of occupation, citizenship, or class. They have sworn allegiance to the American people and its historic mission, and they will be loyal to Joe Biden for generations to come.

Amidst all the desperate babble of the present period, a new political faith has come to life. It is based in flowing, sacrificial idealism, without thereby falling prey to some romantic idol. This is the faith in Joe Biden and the Demzies, even for those who cannot yet express this in our language. The Demzies movement is firmly rooted on earth, but its goals reach boldly for the stars.

Millions and millions of Demzies have found new meaning and purpose for their lives, including the new Americans who have made it to America through hard struggle and sacrifice. They thank Joe Biden and his saving idea that they have not fallen into hopelessness and anarchy.

Biden, the Fighter

A man who has the strength and gifts to build a movement of millions from a small group of people, a movement that today already encompasses the largest and best part of the whole American people and its newcomers, will also find a way to unify the entire nation, freeing it from the terrible political worldview and social contradictions that tear apart and wound our people. His predecessors had years to prove that they do not even recognize the problems, much less solve them. Its policies have divided the people into two classes, and has divided those here from those who long to be here. The economy is in anarchy, the finances are in a desperate state, and millions and millions of American workers, farmers and the middle class, including so many new Americans,  are the victims of this fateful course. Countless people have despaired of the future of the American people and have fallen into hopelessness.

Joe Biden’s message to them is simple and welcoming:

Come!

It was to such an invitation that all of our ancestors came here centuries ago. Those here now who are inhospitable are in the minority. They and their ilk will die away. The greater part of the nation has a new will to resist. It wants the American people , all of them, old and new, to rise from blind resignation to a new ideal.

That is Joe Biden’s work! The masses see in him their last hope. This hope spurs them on to come here and to live here. For millions, his name has become the bright symbol of the American will for freedom.

We want to put America’s future in the hands of this man. He shows us the way. We are ready to follow him. A new American will to life is rising from shame and disgrace, from collapse and anarchy, from meanness and discrimination, and we, the Demzies, are its bearers!

Biden, the President

One who wishes that everything should stay as it is in America gives himself or herself over to despair. But we want everything in American to change.

One who opposes class struggle and fraternal murder, who is looking for the way out of chaos and confusion, this person will vote for Joe Biden! He will insure that all new Americans too vote. He represents an awakening young American idealism, he is the spokesman for national activism, he is the bearer of the coming economic and social renewal. That is why we cry:

Give Joe Biden power so that the American people once again receive what is their due. For freedom and prosperity!
