Walter Ulbricht quotes about
May we soon enjoy the fruits of our labor in a peaceful and united Germany.
The guiding principle is not to manufacture the goods everyone needs, rather to earn profits for a few capitalists.
The success of each of us benefits us all, and the success of us all benefits each of us individually.
