agree  Gerry Vickers: I've got an LP of 'East German Propaganda Songs' (don't ask :) ) so I would go with this one - it would definitely need the 'communist/socialist', though

The reason why I did this (even though some suggestions seem better than mine) is that what the song motivates to should be obvious from the context of the era that is being described....otherwise, by itself, it would not have a proper meaning, of course.
